The Dream of Building an Underground City on Mars (Sci-Fi Documentary)

Posted by in categories: education, environmental, habitats, robotics/AI, space

This is a sci-fi documentary, looking at what it takes to build an underground city on Mars. The choice to go underground is for protection, from the growing storm radiation that rains down on the surface every day. And to further advance the Mars colonization efforts.

Where will the materials to build the city come from? How will the crater be covered to protect the inhabitants? And what will it feel like to live in this city, that is in a hole in the ground?

Tesla Is Working On A NACS-To-NACS Extension Cable

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

Tesla hopes that more EVs will have the charging inlet in a similar location as Tesla EVs: “Additionally, we encourage all vehicle manufacturers to standardize charge port locations to the rear driver side or front passenger side.” But there are no signs that other OEMs will do that, because many of them have different ideas about the charging port location.

Because of that, Tesla is working on an additional solution—an extension cable (NACS to NACS). According to the manufacturer’s FAQ page, it will be available for purchase in the future.
