Calling him dangerously insane because he argues for synthetic beef isn't a great starter. Producing beef is incredibly wasteful, not to mention you have to butcher an animal.
I'm a proud carnivore, yet I would gladly switch to synthetic meat when it is similar in taste and cost. There's simply no reason not to. After what I have read on the subject so far, it seams that synthetic meat lacks a lot of the nutrients that natural meat has. Cows and what not, eat natural food and get all the nutrients in that food, synthetic food is just cells grown in a dish (or similar) with only the basics for cell survival. I wish it would be as good as real meat, it would help stop the maltreatment of animals that takes place in many countries. Until then I will just have to try to chose meat from good farms.

I remember when I was a boy and watched the moon landing on TV, I was so sure that we would just keep on evolving our spacecrafts and ability to move in space just like we had done with airplanes. I thought that I as an adult would be able to take a holiday on the moon. I was very disappointed, and a little baffled when the space programs just halted. I am therefore very glad that so many different entities are now starting to do what I thought would happen during my adulthood. It is now to late for me to go to space, but I'm glad that today's kids will be able to take that vacation. I had the lunar landing craft and some other models when I was a kid, they disappeared somewhere along adult life. I'm just now buying some new models, both from the old Apollo era and the present. Some of them will be flying, others will be on display. And this time I will also get a Soyuz rocket model, it has after all been with us ever since I was a boy.
Just some random Sunday thoughts.

Can I get an opinion please?
Just out of interest WHEN do you guys think we will breach $100,000? I’m pretty certain it’ll be this year but just interested to see when you guys think it’ll happen?
April, May, June?
Later in the year?
Thanks.
If, and that is a big if, it keeps on like this it should hit 100k by May. 100k was my first big sell target, but with the current momentum I'm not so sure anymore, I might up it to 150 or even 200k. I'll have to see how fast this thing is going.

What rocket was it that put Perseverance on Mars?
https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/timeline/launch/Perseverance launched on an Atlas V-541 rocket from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The Atlas V is one of the largest rockets available for interplanetary flight. This is the same type of rocket that launched the InSight and Curiosity to Mars. The launch vehicle was provided by United Launch Alliance, Centennial Colorado.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_VAtlas V is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas rocket family. It was originally designed by Lockheed Martin, now being operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
Each Atlas V rocket consists of two main stages. The first stage is powered by a Russian RD-180 engine manufactured by RD Amross and burning kerosene and liquid oxygen. The Centaur upper stage is powered by one or two United States RL10 engine(s) manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne and burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. AJ-60A strap-on solid rocket boosters (SRBs) are used in some configurations and will be replaced by GEM-63 SRBs in the near future. The standard payload fairings are 4.2 or 5.4 m (14 or 18 ft) in diameter with various lengths.
The rocket had a streak of 76 consecutive successful launches between 11 October 2007 and 13 November 2020. Thank you very much!

The point is, comparing things/events from the past to one of current time (and the future), which are not even very similar, is just wrong in most cases. I mean: Tulips? REALLY?!
EDIT: Bitcoin is the first real counterweight for fiat money. How can somebody, even a so called "expert" even compare this to the irregularly crazy tulip mania?
Stupid questions: I've always wondered... How did the owners keep their tulips in good condition? Weren't they worried that they may dry out and die? How long can a tulip even last? I would be very worried if I had to take care of my Bitcoins like plants. You know, water them, get them out in the sun, protect them from pests, feed them with nutrients... Hard work! Fortunately, my Trezor and/or paper seed backups don't need anything to survive, not even power. Maintenance-free forever! It wasn't tulips, it was tulip futures. It's just called a tulip bubble because the underlying was tulips. Edit: Marcus beat me to it.

I have a question for you rocket guys out there. What are the different Elon rockets for? Is falcon 9 for putting up satellites and Falcon heavy for putting people on the moon and transporting people to space stations? And is that big thing (Big Freight Rocket, is it?) that keeps crashing at landing the one that's for taking us to Mars?
