Elon Musk – Impossible to Possible



Elon Musk is an engineer, technology entrepreneur, philanthropist and industrial designer. He is the founder, CEO and chief engineer of SpaceX; CEO and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink; and co-founder and initial co-chairman of OpenAI. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2018. 

 Elon Musk is working to revolutionize transportation both on Earth as well as in space. He grew up in South Africa, then immigrated to Canada at age 17 and finally he landed in the US as a transfer student at the University of Pennsylvania. Some of the mind-blowing works are:

SpaceX,

SpaceX has manufactured and designed a two-staged rocket Falcon 9. Falcon 9 is a reusable rocket; it is designed for the reliable and safe transport of people and payloads into Earth orbit and beyond. Falcon 9 is the world’s first orbital class reusable rocket. Reusability allows SpaceX to rely the most expensive parts of the rocket, which in turn drives down the cost of space access.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley were lifted off by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket.

 

Hyperloop

In 2013, Elon Musk brought the idea of introducing a super-fast train powered by vacuum and maglev that would travel in tube, named Hyperloop, which would be faster than any rail transport and cheaper than air transport, i.e., energy efficient.

Hyperloop is different from traditional rail. Most of the air from the tube is removed to reduce friction and allow pods carrying passengers to float and travel up to about 800 mile per hour.

However this concept of Hyperloop is still in experimental stage and also, open source, encouraging others to further develop the ideas. But surely its believed that one day his plan would be successful.

Tesla

Elon Musk, believes the faster the world stops relying on fossil fuels and moves towards a zero-emission future, the better it would be and this is turning into reality by his Tesla Inc.

 

Tesla has designed some of the world’s finest automobiles like Model X; the quickest and most capable sport utility vehicle. Tesla’s Model 3, a low-priced, high-volume electric car and the safest, most comfortable trucks ever Tesla Semi and Cyber truck are works of Tesla.

But tesla most amazing production till know is their latest version Model S which holds two major titles - the lowest drag coefficient and the largest panoramic sunroof of any car.

The Model S has a centre of gravity comparable to the Ford GT and a  drag coefficient of just 0.24.The Model S has the most cargo space of any car i.e. 31.6 cubic feet. Also, is so structurally sound, that the NHTSA's roof crush resistance testing machine actually broke when they tried to test the Model S and even it has the largest interface screen of any production vehicle. Along with these features it also includes low maintenance as only its six parts need regular replacement (four tires and the two wiper blades). This battery-electric car actually needs no service, folks!

 Elon Musk once said "Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up." This has led him to one of the finest mastermind in the whole world even after receiving many setbacks.

Pegasus Spyware: Flying Through The Air

 Hundreds of millions of people can't imagine life without their smartphones. Almost every aspect of their daily lives, from the most mundane to the most intimate, is within easy reach and hearing distance of their smartphones. Only few people realize that their phones may be used as surveillance devices, with someone hundreds of miles away secretly extracting their messages, photographs, and location while also activating their microphone and recording them in real time. Such capabilities are present in Pegasus, a spyware produced by NSO Group, an Israeli maker of mass surveillance weapons. What is Pegasus? Pegasus is a hacking software – or spyware – that is developed, marketed and licensed to governments around the world by the Israeli company NSO Group. It has the capability to infect billions of phones using either iOS or Android operating systems. The spyware is named after Pegasus, the white winged horse from Greek mythology. It is named so because it "flies through the...

A user was once shouting at me that her laptop was not working even though she hit the keys and tried the touch pad. I run down to her, she shows her laptop still shouting that I wasn’t working properly and couldn’t do my job etc. I look at her laptop, switch it on, turn around and leave the room. OUTAGE PROBLEM!

HOW TO SEE INCOGNITO HISTORY AND DELETE IT

We have heard about private or incognito browsing. It’s the mode that doesn’t store anything in history. While it does store cookies, but are deleted after the session is exited. This mode is known as Incognito browsing in Google Chrome, Private Browsing in Mozilla Firefox, and InPrivate Browsing in Internet Explorer. Whatever we may want to call it, the mode works the same in all browsers. However, sometimes we might want to go back to a page that you previously opened. The question is – can you check your incognito history? Problem is, there is no easy way to go back to that page. So all are search queries we saw is effectively lost. Unless you can Google it up and it shows again. But if it’s not there on the first page of Google, it’s gone forever. But we can still get to know about the websites that have been browsed under the incognito mode. Yes, the private browsing mode has a loophole. You can see the browsing history of someone using incognito mode but only if you h...
