His point of point to point 1 hour deliveries (edit: transport was his word, but deliveries would be a prerequisite, no?) anywhere on earth seems pretty dismissive. Also much of the space section is about mars. But there’s a lot more going on in space than mars.

JWST started its science mission around July 2022. Researchers get a year of study time before their data are released. So we can expect to see an increase in research releases from JWST until at least that point. I suspect this will continue to remind the world space has more than mars in it.

There’s the psyche asteroid mission that I really wonder about long term.

There’s also this seemingly unexpected opening to discuss and research UAP and interstellar objects from the last several years. I think the count is at two objects that the Avi Loeb and his group will look to recover soon.

Then there’s the research RocketLab appears poised to open up. They’re planning to launch a probe to Venus in March, for instance. Lowered launch costs could make this sort of thing do-able by universities. While those projects won’t have NASA kind of funding, they also won’t have NASA/congressional kind of bureaucracy.

I could probably go on, but it’s an ok list if a little missing something.

Edit-on cars, it appears the news nowadays is all things electrifying. But his points are almost exclusively self driving. Where’s the discussion of battery tech? Charging infrastructure? Charging infrastructure is probably low-lying fruit for someone trying to describe the future as it’s a pretty straightforward engineering problem-with a known scale, for instance.
