Launch window always tight when orbital synch needed. In this case, Space Station. For Earth-Sun gravity null point, moon was in the way.

Battery "breakthroughs" need to state power *and* energy density (not the same thing), plus how long they last. They usually fail on energy.

Right move is try both tunnels and flying cars. Otherwise, having 2D streets and 3D buildings means bad traffic forever.

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head

Flying car pros: travel in 3D fast. Cons: risk of car falling on head much greater, noisy, grounded in bad weather

However, when self-driving cars become safer than human-driven cars, the public may outlaw the latter. Hopefully not.

To be clear, Tesla is strongly in favor of people being allowed to drive their cars and always will be. Hopefully, that is obvious.
