BBC Website - Is the humble Lada now a classic car?

An article on the BBC Website about the Lada which is to be commended.

However it still regurgitates a lot of BS claiming the Lada is on some dumb list of worst cars ever produced and other stuff not to mention the condescending British snotty tone.

Fact is the Lada - any Lada - is in many ways better than anything the British indigenous automotive industry (now deceased) ever managed to produce, not to mention that fact that British-designed cars always manage to end up looking a special kind of butt-ugly... well, in my opinion anyway.

Musk Reusability

Elon Musk, such as he is, persists in his space re-usability folly.

Musk's Space X claims the they have now launched a rocket whose first stage was allegedly returned to earth during an earlier mission.

They are using their apparent "success" for propaganda purposes and also to fleece their lenders of more money, but there are things to consider first:

It apparently took Space X 11 months to just refurbish the allegedly pre-flown first stage and have the rocket ready. Which is probably longer than it takes to build a new rocket from scratch.

It is also probably as expensive if not actually more expensive than producing a brand-new first stage.

If Space X continues to spend years to refurbish their "pre-flown" rockets, their launches will be few and far between, that is, when they don't end in a fire ball like very recently.

Also, they have yet to send a manned vehicle into space. Not to mention returning one. And not to mention, alive.

Well, anyway, my reading is this whole Space X detour will end badly.

And finally every claim Musk makes is a big lie, and the bigger the lie the more believable.

Check out his twitter too - it's hilarious, looks like he's always in character.

But I should say regardless he is one of my few favorite actors and one of the best.
