The cost of spatial migration

Recently, Tesla held an AI Day theme meeting.

As the name implies, Tesla Artificial Intelligence Day is an activity for Tesla to demonstrate artificial intelligence technology. Musk also tweeted before: the activity is definitely to show muscles, but the main purpose is to recruit people.

I have to say that Tesla's muscles are very good.

As early as a few years ago, Musk asked Tesla engineers to design an ultra-high-speed training computer to train AI video algorithms and improve Tesla's autonomous driving ability with the camera as the main sensor.

So, the "Dojo" neural network training supercomputer, fully automatic/assisted driving system (FSD) and Tesla's first humanoid robot Tesla bot were displayed at the meeting.

Space exploration technology company's flight plan

On the Artificial Intelligence Day held a few days ago, Musk directly stated that Space X will increase the research and utilization of outer space in the next days, first sending humans to the moon and then reclaiming land on Mars.

Speaking of the tallest rocket in the world, it can be traced back to 20 16 at the earliest.

On September 27th of that year, at the 67th International Astronautical Congress held in Mexico, Musk solemnly introduced the Interstellar Transportation System (ITS) scheme required by his Mars immigration plan, claiming that the cost of landing a person on Mars could be controlled at $200,000 by using his rocket, and regular cargo flights to Mars could be established.

This is the first space migration plan proposed by a private rocket company.

Because this scheme is much cheaper than the traditional method, it is also feasible.

In fact, since 20 18, space exploration technology company has launched more than 1700 Starlink network satellites and launched satellite internet services in at least six countries.

It is planned that by 2027, Space Exploration Technologies will build 42,000 Starlink satellites in orbit for use.

Musk promised to land at least two cargo spacecraft on Mars by 2022, and realize cargo+manned landing in 2024.

Two manned spacecraft sent the first people to Mars, and two cargo ships were responsible for transporting materials. On this basis, a Mars immigration base was gradually established. In the end, there will be 6.5438 million people on Mars, and a city will be built.

Musk: Not just businessmen.

Some people understand from the beginning that the probability of failure is far greater than the probability of success, but they are still willing to fight for it, because it can benefit all mankind and make the whole society more prosperous.

Elon Musk, founder of Space Exploration Technology and CEO of Tesla, is such a person.

I have to say that Musk, as a scientist and entrepreneur, is indeed much better than those so-called entrepreneurs in China.

At least Musk has opened the market of new energy vehicles in China. After he became rich, he didn't start investing in real estate and cut leeks in various fields. Instead, he sold his real estate and used it all for scientific research.

Rocket Company, a space exploration technology company founded by Musk, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and now it has obtained an order from NASA. Its rocket recovery system has become the first in the world, greatly reducing the cost of human space travel.

On the other hand, most domestic entrepreneurs earn a lot of money through e-commerce, take-away, games, real estate and other fields.

We have to say that we really need these services, but according to Maslow's demand theory, this is only the most basic needs of human beings. With the development and progress of China, people have been pursuing them at a higher level.

Most domestic entrepreneurs choose to start their own businesses, which are generally industries that can see huge profits in the short term.

If you need a lot of investment and research and development in the early stage, the results are not lacking, and you will often give up because the interests and risks are not equal.

Musk believes that in the future, only through the development of artificial intelligence can human beings continue to evolve.

Nowadays, the rapid development of computers has exceeded the processing capacity of the human brain.

Therefore, human beings should remain modest and respect the progress of science and technology, or they will be completely surpassed by computers one day.

It is not difficult to understand why so many people are willing to support Musk. After all, there are still few entrepreneurs who are addicted to scientific research, and even fewer entrepreneurs who work hard for human development. This has to be imitated by domestic "technology enterprises"!
