Reply to comment by SFerrin_RW in Rocket Lab targets $50 million launch price for Neutron rocket to challenge SpaceX’s Falcon 9 by cnbc_official
I think it depends on frequency of launches. If they end up being as reusable and more relaunchable than Falcon 9, they could possibly catch up.

Depends how well it performs in the long term. Barring Starship/Super Heavy's approval and development flights work out, it will take bit catchup with Falcon 9.
SpaceX maybe hurting after Rocket Lab's Neutron and hopefully Terran R work out in the end.

Wasn't that money slated to help the city help pay costs of aiding people during the crisis? Is this true?

Unfortunately, the Farm Lands from the 1900 would have been taken from out by housing development as well. Just too much demand.

Reply to Residents ‘Horrified’ Over Proposed Solar Farm Near Waltham/Lexington Line by ak47workaccnt
I'm not in love with the idea. I'd rather keep the trees around make a reservation for land. Massachusetts filling up with housing or leveling old housing with more property and squeezing in more.
I support renewables, but they need find better way to deploy them without wrecking non-replaceable forests. Solar panels on homes would be more effective than leveling forest. When they do this...i hope they plan for solar batteries.

Either their going need local power station recharging this charging stations or they need recalculate the saves their getting. I don't think either the communities at large its ready this kind burden. Were people actually thinking AHEAD about this?

I have to agree with that. Ever sense economy focus switched to consumerism, common people are feeling greed and burn.

They won't have budget to support robust public transit is where I'm coming from this. I've worked in this town many times, in the very building their building this project in. Most of the folks who would been able to fund it used to work in that building. Now they don't want to, they work in Boston/Cambridge.
So they got their robust transportation system, but not there.

This is a small suburban town, no one wants crazy/busy like that but a few. Its cars driving area, bus would get stuck in the traffic if its that popular.

I hope it works out. I just hope doesn't turn out to be like the development at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH. They made the race track into a mix use space as well, it not as great as they talked up about it.
My bigger fear is the sheer traffic this place is going to generate.

Reply to comment by OptimalFlight101 in How highways hurt boston by Ironlining
It gets better. I'm old enough to have driven on that very same highway in its last years of existence. It was bloody narrow 6 lane highway split upper and and lower decks going Northward exiting city.
At one point, it had merge with single lane split to the Tobin bridge. Some people whom I knew who drove this "fun" stretch of the road called it the "Fun Game of Merge". This was because it was so bloody narrow and drivers were so frustrated they got highly...aggressive. I'm certainly glad above ground Central Artery is toast. It was one worse ideas for highway, I'm glad the other section wasn't built. The I-695, it would done worse things to the city.
