The big news was the successful launch of the Crew Dragon mission early morning March 2nd. The unmanned Crew Dragon then successfully docked with the International Space Station. All of this, of course, brings Space X one step closer to manned space flight. This article expounds on the historic nature of this mission. Meanwhile, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine also put the his stamp on the historic mission. The return of the US having the capability to launch astronauts into space from American soil cannot be overstated.
In Tesla World it was announced that the long-promised $35,000 Tesla is finally here. This standard Model 3 will have a range of 220-miles. The drop to $35,000 has been compared to Henry Ford making the Model-T more affordable to the masses. That might be putting the cart before the horse here though.
To help accommodate all these cars - Tesla will be greatly expanding their Supercharging and Destination locations - including doubling the charging stations in California. Almost buried in the news of the $35,000 Tesla is the fact that Tesla is now "shifting sales worldwide to online only." Tesla certainly isn't afraid of being on the cutting edge.
Coming up on March 14th is the unveiling of the Model Y. Always something going on in Musk World.
