Rushkoff: “Survival of the Richest”
Survival of the Richest by douglas rushkoff The wealthy are plotting to leave us behind (Sent from my wireless device; please excuse brevity and typos (if any))
Grazie, bellissima lettura! “The more committed we are to this view of the world, the more we come to see human beings as the problem and technology as the solution. The very essence of what it means to be human is treated less as a feature than bug." Quanto all'astronave per Marte di Musk, mi fa ossessivamente venire in mente un frammento della superlativa "Guida Galattica per Autostoppisti" di Doglas Adams: <http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Golgafrincham> *Golgafrincham* was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat. These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans <http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Golgafrinchan> to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone. ciao!, Alberto On 18/07/2018 12:42, J.C.

mi sono chiesto una cosa... la tesla che fa rotta verso marte, veramente va verso marte ? c'e' gente che non crede che l'uomo sia andato sulla luna ma che accetta acriticamente che una macchina vada su marte.. (BTW, cosa vuol dire fare rotta verso marte ? entrare in orbita di marte o andare a schiantarsi su marte o atterrare su marte ?) in realta' secondo delle stime di astrofisici che ho trovato che hanno osservato la traiettoria, passera' a 6,9 milioni di km da marte.. e poi girera' e si avvicinera' a 45 milioni di km dalla terra, ecc. ecc. in definitva, una volta sfuggiti all'attrazione gravitazionale della terra, essere in rotta verso marte o verso saturno e' la stessa cosa. (se i miei studi di fisica di decenni or sono non mi tradiscono...) pero' hanno scelto di dire marte. "mettiamo una replica di una macchina fuori dall'attrazione gravitazionale terrestre" vs. "mandiamo una macchina verso marte" l'effetto di comunicazione sarebbe stato maggiore o minore a dire "verso saturno" ? probabilmlente inferiore, perche' (credo) nell'inconscio collettivo marte e' una prossima grande frontiera umana. cosi' tutti i media del pianeta si sono sprecati su "l'auto su marte" sarebbe interessante fare dei conti stimando quanto potrebbe pesare una tale replica e quanto costa mandare un chilo nello spazio extra-stazionario e capire quanto e' stato il costo per impression di questa operazione.. ciao!, s.

Osi dubitare dell'efficienza del mercato? :-o Sacrilegio! :-D Giacomo
Condivido quello che dici sul marketing "marziano". Uno dei motivi per cui ha detto "Marte" può essere di (almeno parzialmente) poter sostenere di aver mantenuto una promessa:<https://money.cnn.com/2016/04/27/news/companies/spacex-mars-launch/index.htm...> E soprattutto, anche se la destinazione effettiva non è Marte, l'orbita "trans-mars injection" ha i suoi ottimi motivi: <https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a16571489/elon-musk-space-t...> Infatti il progetto di SpaceX/NASA per una "navetta" per/da Marte è sulla carta dal 2013. In sostanza potrebbe essere un progetto pilota di logistica. We report the feasibility of a complete and closed MSR mission design using the following scenario that covers three synodic launch opportunities, beginning with the 2022 opportunity: A Falcon Heavy injects a SpaceX Red Dragon capsule and trunk onto a Trans Mars Injection (TMI) trajectory. The capsule is modified to carry all the hardware needed to return samples collected on Mars including a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV); an Earth Return Vehicle (ERV); and hardware to transfer a sample collected in a previously landed rover mission to the ERV.
