After the talk, there were plenty of lingering questions about his Mars colonization plans: what about radiation? Where would people live? During the AMA, he followed up on several topics that he didn't cover at the initial talk. SpaceX's Mars Colony Will Be a City of Glass Musk predicts that Mars colonists will use "glass panes with carbon fiber frames to build geodesic domes on the surface" of the planet, and have to use "a lot of miner/tunneling droids" to create "huge amounts of pressurized space for industrial operations" and leave the glass buildings for green living space. Early missions to Mars will focus on getting a propellant plant up and running in order to make the Interplanetary Transport System that will allow trips from Mars back to Earth much easier. Elon Musk Has a Four-Step Plan to Build a Fuel Plant on Mars One user asked about the equipment and procedures that would be used to refuel the ship and if the ship would be able to function autonomously for the test flight. Musk responded that the company is "still far from figuring this out in detail" but that they have a roughly four-step plan to get a propellant plant up and running on Mars: "1. Send Dragon scouting missions, initially just to make sure we know how to land without adding a crater and then to figure out the best way to get water for the CH4/O2 Sabatier Reaction. 2. Heart of Gold spaceship flies to Mars loaded only with equipment to build the propellant plant. 3. First crewed mission with equipment to build rudimentary base and complete the propellant plant. 4. Try to double the number of flights with each Earth-Mars orbital rendezvous, which is every 26 months, until the city can grow by itself." No easy answers in SpaceX's recent rocket explosion The Wall Street Journal reported that the problem may have been operational—rather than a manufacturing or design flaw of the rocket itself. But that does not mean the case is that simple. Nothing involving rockets ever is. The investigation itself is a collaborative effort between SpaceX, the FAA, NASA, the US Air Force, and industry experts. Together, they are looking at over 3,000 channels of engineering data, along with video, audio and imagery, the company said. Early rumors speculated that SpaceX was worried about potential sabotage by rival space firms, and were reviewing images of strange shadow on a building next to the launch site. But mostly, the investigation has focused on the second stage liquid oxygen tank. ♦ Tesla ♦ Tesla (TSLA) announces Q3 financial results beat expectations, first GAAP profit in 3 years – $22 million Well, CEO Elon Musk promised a pie in the face of the naysayers on Wall Street and they got it. After market close on Wednesday, Tesla released its financial results for the third quarter 2016. Wall street was expecting revenue of $2.43 billion and a slight gain of $0.02 per share for the quarter. Tesla confirmed $2.30 billion in revenue, below expectations, but it also announced a gain of $0.14 per share during the last quarter – a first in 3 years. The automaker disclosed that it expects to also be profitable next quarter, which will come as a surprise to most industry watchers. The company is seeing 145% year-over-year growth in revenue. Tesla shifts timing of 'Solar Roof' unveiling just before sunset today, webcast now at 5:30pm PDT (UTC-7) The company had already confirmed that the event will take place outside at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, but it was originally supposed to start after dark, which was surprising to some people considering Tesla is set to unveil a solar roof product. Now the doors open at 4:30pm and CEO Elon Musk is expected to take the stage around 5:30pm at which time a webcast will start on Tesla's website. Sunset will be at 6:03pm today. While Tesla is expected to unveil its solar roof, it is also expected to unveil its second-generation energy storage products. Elon Musk Suggests the Skeptics "Do Not Bet Against" Tesla On Wednesday, during a conference call to discuss Tesla's third-quarter financial performance, CEO Elon Musk threw down the gauntlet. "There are obviously skeptics out there," he said. "I suggest that they do not bet against us." The skeptics to which he refers would say either that the hardware and software suite on Teslas are not actually capable of full autonomy, or, alternatively, that full autonomy is unreliable. Musk has long touted the safety benefits of Tesla Autopilot. But full autonomy is a different beast, one that likely will eliminate car wrecks as we know them. Majority of 'Tesla Network' revenue will go to owners: 'it's not Tesla versus Uber, it's the people versus Uber', says Musk Musk confirmed that Tesla plans to share most of the revenue from the 'Tesla Network' with the Tesla owners who will send their self-driving cars on the network to complete rides for customers. When Tesla announced its self-driving hardware suite last week, it also confirmed its long-rumoured Uber-like service, which we now know as 'Tesla Network'. While they introduced the necessary hardware in all cars last week, Tesla doesn't plan for the software to be ready for another year. Musk reveals his top 3 priorities: Model 3, 100 kWh production line, and Autopilot CEO Elon Musk clearly laid out his priorities at Tesla and on what projects he spends most of his time on at the company right now. Here are Musk's top 3 priorities at Tesla at the moment: Bringing the Model 3 to production on schedule and at right cost Advancing Enhanced Autopilot and Self-Driving software Ramp up 100 kWh battery pack production The CEO even said that he was going on the 100 kWh battery pack production line right after the call to help with scaling up. Tesla Model 3 progress: production line layout completed, Tesla now testing subsystems Tesla confirmed that they completed production line layouts for the Model 3 and they are now deep in the testing of the subsystems. The automaker reiterated that they are on target for "volume production and deliveries of Model 3 in the second half of 2017". Tesla reveals more details about its plan to create 'world's only integrated sustainable energy company' The company describes the "world's only integrated sustainable energy company" as a "vertically integrated energy company offering end-to-end clean energy products." Tesla is trying to own the entire energy sector from generation through solar installations to consumption with its electric vehicles. In the new presentation, Tesla confirmed that it plans to phase out SolarCity's brand throughout the next year. ♦ Hyperloop ♦ The Hyperloop will take a lot more money to build than Elon Musk anticipated When Elon Musk conceived of the Hyperloop high-speed transport system in 2013, he estimated that a route from Los Angeles to the Bay Area would cost about $6 billion, or $11.5 million per mile. But leaked documents show that Hyperloop One — one of two companies attempting to make Musk's idea a reality — is estimating the cost of a potential 107-mile Bay Area project to be somewhere between $9 billion and $13 billion, or $84 million to $121 million per mile. ♦ EMN Shirts ♦ GET S3XY Like Tesla?

Pasolini un delitto italiano

Ricostruzione, in forma di docudrama con la mescolanza di immagini "finte" e di materiale di repertorio in bianconero, del processo contro Pino Pelosi per la morte di Pier Paolo Pasolini, ucciso nella notte tra il 1° e il 2 novembre 1975 sul lido di Ostia. Giordana e i suoi sceneggiatori Stefano Rulli e Sandro Petraglia non pretendono di raccontare la verità su quella morte, ma di spiegare perché quella verità non s'è mai saputa e perché la prima sentenza che condannò Pelosi per omicidio "con il concorso di ignoti" sia stata cassata nelle sentenze successive, rimossa dall'opinione pubblica, dimenticata. Nel film, montato con accorta efficacia da Cecilia Zanuso, di Pasolini si vede il volto, e si ascolta la voce, soltanto nei frammenti di repertorio. Qualcuno gli ha prestato un corpo, ma non il viso, nelle convulse e notturne sequenze dell'omicidio. Si risolve in un atto di accusa contro la putrefazione, l'indegnità, le pesanti responsabilità di una classe dirigente contro la quale in vita Pasolini s'era rivolto nei suoi scritti corsari.
