BFR is arguably the biggest risk SpaceX has ever taken.

Boy was my aim way off! Will have to put some more work in on my sky-hook.

Mind. blown.

This.

I carry a portable electric hair dryer. It's rechargable and lasts about a day.

Googled "kackflasche".

Was disappointed.

Has he been able to solve the problem of bridging the gap between the bathroom stall and the waste bin? Ir does he flush them? Most stalls in the colonies don't have waste bins in the stall. So you are faced with the problem of how to dispose of your dirty nappies. If you walk out of the stall to the vin before going to wash your hands you will be on the business end of some odd looks. This why most wet wipers flush. There are, however, alternative methodologies.

How do you get them from the stall to the trash?

>If I had poo on my arm, I'd use soap and water to clean it then rinse well.

This is the correct answer.

Baby wipes or go home.

>Looking forward to trying a Japanese toilet with those sprays...

Why wouldn't you just use the 3 seashells?

FWIW a Martian year is 687 days.

At one point he briefly mentions (almost in an off-handed way) the issue of scaling the novel semiconductor production approach. Would be interesting to know how big of an ask that really is. Maybe I'm jaded by current events but figure it's only a matter of time before the science community has its Bernie Madoff moment. Especially in light of how renewables seem on the cusp of their moment to shine.

Is there anything akinto different flavours? Or brand differences?

Is it like people and cigarettes? Like Brand X is your brand ornate and you'd rather die than have to drink brand Y?

Is there such a thing like a sommelier for mate? Maybe like wine: "I detect notes of lavender...."

This is incredibly interesting!

Very interesting. I drank mate with friends from Buenos Aires when I was a teen. We would drink it the traditional way, namely out of a small dried gourd with a metal straw. Are you saying that mate (pronounced mah-teh like a southerner saying "my tea" fwiw -- not an Australian addressing a friend) is not commercialized in Argentina? As in, people offer their personal mate and there are not "mate shops" that would equate to "coffee shops"(think third wave USA)? Or that they prefer Mate to coffee, hence there are no "coffee shops" while there may or may not be "mate shops"?

I guess I like the idea that mate is so personal than you wouldn't go to a commercial shop for their blendbut ratherwould share your homebrew with a friend on a park bench.

Unless, you know. Fog. But there's never fog... in... SanFra....
