In Europe they are seen somewhere above Volkswagen and below BMW. Pretty expensive for a family car, but good quality. That means having no technical problems below 150.000km at BMW luxury levels. They used to have arguably the best diesel engines in the world, they were hard hit by Dieselgate...

Agree 100%. Here in Europe the Renegade is built on a Fiat chassis, with engines ranging from 1 liter to 1.3 liters. People buy them in strodes and use them in cities. So much for the SUVs... In China they also love "American" brands.

Peugeot/ Citroën/ Opel use only two engines (one gas, one diesel) with different power levels controlled by software. Only one electric model, the e208, launched last month. No hybrids. Bigger engines come from BMW. Cars produced mostly outside of France, but in EU. Apparently the...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/0 ... -war-iran/ The reality is the Saudis are deeply skittish about the prospects of any war with Iran because they know they will be Tehran’s main target.

Any payment system based on anonymity is dangerous. If someone can get your money in a bad way and never fear being caught, it's a bad system.

It's a very bad thing to happen, but this may turn out to be good in the long run. It's obvious there is an unknown problem with the capsule and they will fix it. If it had people on board, SpaceX and Nasa would have looked really really bad.

I just wish people will start using the new opportunities of "cheap space" to try to make some actual science, not launching into orbit vanity projects for politicians / cars / "destroying other satelites to scare other nations".

Europe (the EU, at least) will go through some critical changes in the next few years in regards to electrical cars. Because the manufacturers will be forced to include in their sales electric vehicles so that their average car sold will not exceed 95g/km of CO2, the demand for cheap electric...

Best slides I've seen in any Getting-into-orbit article, ever! Bravo!

I think a chinese unmanned probe will land on the dark side of the Moon in a few hours. Chang’e 4 probe

"Still too soon to tell if this is a revolution in transportation." Really, Ars? Journalism in our days...

I just returned from a visit to CERN, they have a 1300 million euros budget / year so that about 12000 young scientist experiment, build and test the world of tomorrow. The way that some in the arab oil/gas world are throwing money away in stoopid ideas just to look 'modern' in the eyes of the...

So, they're building subways now? Why is this news?

Why are there still articles like this about quantum mechanics? It's a well understood field, there are already several practical use in real life and they keep multiplying and still there is this idea: 'Behold, you mere mortals, this is way over your head, let me give you an explanation like...

How do you say "Funding secure" in chinese?

There's a big RISK it would never take off, let alone land, if it doesn't get the funding. Frankly, I hope I'm wrong on this one.

The BFS seems like the real incredible idea looking at what it must achieve. I presume it has to land like an airplane/Space Shuttle after going around the Moon. All this seems... Too big , way too big. They have to demonstrate human safe flight before anybody sane would invest real money. I...

"the Ariane 5 rocket was designed for performance, akin to a luxury car, rather than economy. Among its features, the booster had a unique payload carrier that can distribute two larger satellites into orbit, allowing customers to share the cost." Ariane 5 has a problem in the sense that it...

This is a message to Trump: you tax our cars, we'll tax your companies
