Why Taiwan is looking beyond Elon Musk’s Starlink – to Britain

Taipei’s rules state that any telecoms joint venture in the country should have 51pc local ownership. Li Huairen, a spokesman for Taiwan’s digital ministry, confirmed foreign ownership was limited to 49pc.

“In national security we want total autonomy,” says Jason Hsu, a former Taiwan MP and a technology entrepreneur, “terms and conditions that our government can control”.

There is a risk that “Taiwan could be compromised” if it relies on Musk alone, says Hsu, “or used as a chip on the table”.

Musk traditionally has refused to hand over any control of his ventures

Sach mat.

NASA Statement on the Crew-8 Astronauts:

“After safely splashing down on Earth as part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission Friday, a NASA astronaut experienced a medical issue. NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin were flown together to Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola in Florida.

After medical evaluation at the hospital, three of the crew members departed Pensacola and have arrived at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The one astronaut who remains at Ascension is in stable condition under observation as a precautionary measure. To protect the crew member’s medical privacy, specific details on the individual’s condition or identity will not be shared.

During its return to Earth, the SpaceX Dragon executed a normal entry and splashdown. Recovery of the crew and the spacecraft was without incident. During routine medical assessments on the recovery ship, the additional evaluation of the crew members was requested out of an abundance of caution.

We’re grateful to Ascension Sacred Heart for its support during this time, and we are proud of our team for its quick action to ensure the safety of our crew members.
The Crew-8 crew members splashed down aboard their Dragon spacecraft near Pensacola, Florida, to complete a 235-day mission, 232 days of which were spent aboard the International Space Station conducting scientific research.

NASA will provide additional information as it becomes available.”

VOYTEX: omg, Elon je fakt setapouch. Sobý hnusec!

VOYTEX: nejlepší je preventivně hejtit všechno. to pak nemůžeš udělat chybu!

OMNIHASH: ehm, zas takovej borec Elon není, ty 2.stupně jsou fakt těžký, resp. dostat se na rozumné užitečné zatížení je u nich pak těžký. A jak to vypadá, když chce přistávat fakt se vším, na to teď právě všichni čumíme.

ARAON: Musk ma s nejvetsi pravděpodobnosti "secret-level clearance" kvuli SpaceX a tak ma povinnost nahlasit kontakty s cizinci. Takze s nejvetsi pravdepodobnosti WSJ ma tohle info od nekoho z ministerstva obrany.

KOUDY:
KOUDY: to je jednoduchý.... z hlediska kupeckých počtů, Starship slibuje velmi nízké variabilní náklady (to je ta full rapid reus), ale jsou tam naprosto gigantické vstupní fixní náklady, které bude nutné umořit... co já vím, první stovkou startů. Pak už to levné bude, to jo :-)
