1 Re: Apollo computer: I'm envious that they could order a memory chip, of any kind or capacity, that isn't one of those microscopic pitch ball-grid arrays.

2 One of my coworkers missed a flight this morning because all the flights were cancelled.  (She didn't say "at that airport", "for that airline", or anything specific like that.)

3 Tesla was always going to have a potential failure mode that combines the end of the current electrification insanity with a failure to reach Mars.  Preserving the electrification madness for a little longer, and ensuring that Mars is not reachable would not be a good strategy.

Of course, temporary political madness insiders are often very convinced that the temporary madness will be eternal.

So, Donald Trump?  Musk already gambled on Trump with the Twitter purchase.  The Democrats hate him for that, already, and would have wanted to sabotage Mars anyway.  And they have also proven that they will randomly screw up critical bits of economy because of marketing whims during elections.

4 Back in the late 1980s I worked at a small company which had a number of number of Apollo workstations including a DN10000. They weren't really Unix systems, but had both System V and BSD subsystems running at the same time on their own OS. IIRC, except for the DN10K, our workstations had 4-16 MB of RAM, no recollection how much that DN10K had.
