I think you're going to be surprised at the level of competition BO provides SpaceX in the Artemis program.

Plus my 30kWh battery is Lithium Iron Phosphate. Your BEV is likely a Lithium-Ion? Regardless, I should get 3,000-5,000 full charge cycles on my battery. As long as I charge it to 100% once a week I should be golden.

I have a BYD dealership 25km from my house and a 6 year/150k KM warranty. I'm pretty sure people work there, they definitely were when I visited. Given that I'm pretty sure there are people repairing PHEVs.

> Proof you're wrong is that they had a self-imposed 2000km limit on their missiles but when push came to shove, they changed their mind and shot one 4000km.

The details of this attack are murky, it might not have even occurred. And given the penchant for the Trump administration to lie about this conflict on a daily basis I don't believe it either. Show me some radar tracks, hell, ANY EVIDENCE and I might consider it. Otherwise I'll consider it propaganda.

Flex doesn't really become a concern with carbon fibre until you approach Mach 3. I say this because I've built two rockets of an identical design philosophy; one for 54mm motors and one for 75mm motors. The 54mm motor rocket did M2.64 and I could fly it again today if I wanted. The 75mm rekitted itself at M3. It failed where I'd not reinforced the hand rolled airframe that I was flying. 4 wraps of 2x2 200gsm twill CF. Same number I used on the 54mm fine.

For both of these rockets the vast majority of the airframe is directly over a aluminum motor casing that is a rigid body. These things are grossly over-engineered when compared to the pressures/forces they see.

I also believe that most pure BEV drivers would charge their cars daily to mitigate the risk of range anxiety.

Now we're engaged in a full regional conflict to destroy Iran's nuclear capability that was destroyed last year. The same capability the Iranians were willing to give up via negotiations that were ongoing when the US and Israel took out the country's leadership in a decapitation strike which began the war.

Respectfully, this war virtually guarantees Iran will now develop nuclear weapons. The exact thing Trump thought shooting them would stop is going to come to fruition because of these actions. The exact thing that was barred by a fatwa since 2004.

How do you not see this?

this often happens when the wrong rocket finish is selected. Everyone chooses a polished finish when in actuality they've just sprayed the thing with paint.

Skin drag is real.

I'm charging my Shark right now and I couldn't be happier. I expect my fuel bill (it's a PHEV) to drop by 70-80% when compared to the 2010 Commodore wagon I was driving last week.

This information is already readily available by studying the Rastafari in Jamaica. If there were serious negative impacts from daily consumption over a lifetime it would have been apparent in that cohort for decades.
