12703459, Google funds SpaceX to build SkyNet Posted by imcvspl, Tue Jan-20-15 04:52 PM https://www.theinformation.com/Google-Nears-Major-Investment-in-SpaceX-to-Bolster-Satellites "The purpose of a deal, which is still in the works, is to support the development of SpaceX satellites that could beam low-cost Internet around the globe to billions who don’t have it." █▆▇▅▇█▇▆▄▁▃ Big PEMFin H & z's "I ain't no entertainer, and ain't trying to be one.

12703463, mankind has either predicted the future via science fiction... Posted by PROMO, Tue Jan-20-15 04:55 PM or is following science fiction to make the future.
12703508, either way sounds hella fun. Posted by IkeMoses, Tue Jan-20-15 05:29 PM
12703518, it's like a chicken/egg thing and i wanna know which one it is. Posted by PROMO, Tue Jan-20-15 05:35 PM i'm not mad either way though.
12703522, the egg always comes first. Posted by IkeMoses, Tue Jan-20-15 05:38 PM
12703536, right...but WHICH one is the egg? Posted by PROMO, Tue Jan-20-15 05:47 PM is the egg that sci-fi cats could predict the future or is it engineers just copying sci-fi like 'oh yeah, we should have touchscreens and little robots that go into your bloodstream'. cuz, if it's the former that's a little bit cool and a little bit creepy.
12703605, both. Posted by IkeMoses, Tue Jan-20-15 07:38 PM
