Elon Musk’s SpaceX wins FCC approval to deploy 7,518 satellites
Todd Shields Published 12:29 PM EST Nov 15, 2018 Elon Musk’s SpaceX won permission to deploy more than 7,000 satellites, far more than all operating spacecraft currently aloft, from U.S. regulators who also moved to reduce a growing risk from space debris as skies grow more crowded. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has two test satellites aloft, and it earlier won permission for a separate set of 4,425 satellites – which like the 7,518 satellites authorized Thursday are designed to provide broadband communications. It has said it plans to begin launches next year. Space companies riding innovations that include smaller and cheaper satellites – with some just 4 inches long and weighing only 3 pounds – are planning fleets that will fly fast and low, offering communications now commonly handled by larger, more expensive satellites. Right now there are fewer than 2,000 operating satellites, and the planned additional space traffic demands vigilance, Federal … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s SpaceX wins FCC approval to deploy 7,518 satellites

So why not get into the business of making liquor, too? After all, stars such as Sammy Hagar (Cabo Wabo) and George Clooney (Casamigos) have found success making tequila. Musk probably wouldn’t even have to sell that much of his 20 percent stake in Tesla to get bottles on the shelves. But money might not matter to those who oversee the world of tequila: Mexico’s Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). In case you missed it, on Oct. 12 Musk tweeted out “Teslaquila coming soon,” along with what he said was a “visual approximation” of what the label and bottle would look like.

California wildfires: Elon Musk ridiculed/thanked as he offers help
By Levi Sumagaysay | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: November 12, 2018 at 12:45 pm | UPDATED: November 13, 2018 at 5:10 am Elon Musk once again took to Twitter in the midst of a disaster over the weekend: California, Tesla’s home state, is once again dealing with deadly wildfires. “If Tesla can help people in California wildfire, please let us know,” the Tesla CEO said. “Model S & X have hospital grade HEPA filters. Maybe helpful for transporting people.” Camp Fire in Northern California and the Woolsey and Hill fires in Southern California, some Tesla owners testified on Twitter that their vehicles have helped them breathe easier amid the horrible air quality caused by the fires. “@elonmusk #ModelX HEPA filter was a massive help as we evacuated the #WoolseyFire last night,” said @ScottSpiro. “Air was unbreathable and literally caused my lungs to hurt until I got in the vehicle.
