I don't know that this is accurate, but I suspect it is. If this doesn't scare the living SH_T out of you, you are not paying attention. This is how the next surface/subsurface war will be won.
China’s first aerial mothership, Jiutian SS-UAV, is scheduled for its maiden flight in June. It can cruise at 15,000m high carrying over 100 small drones or 1,000 kg of missiles, with a range of 7,000km. Don’t worry, China’s military is peace-oriented from the start. We grow stronger to deter aggression, unlike the US, always attacking other nations.

NEWS: China has rolled out the world’s largest fleet of driverless mining trucks, featuring 100 vehicles equipped with Huawei Technologies’ autonomous driving systems. The trucks are designed to autonomously load and unload mining material, as well as operate in harsh weather at the Yimin coal mine in Hulunbuir, a large city in northeastern Inner Mongolia. The vehicles could improve “overall transport efficiency” by 20% compared to manned trucks.

After liftoff on February 26, Athena established a stable attitude, solar charging, and radio communications contact with our mission operations center in Houston. The lander is in excellent health, sending selfies, and preparing for a series of planned main engine firings to refine her trajectory ahead of lunar orbit insertion, planned on March 3. Intuitive Machines is targeting a lunar landing opportunity on March 6. 📸: #Athena 👀@spaceX #AdLunam #IM2 (27FEB2025 0720 CT)

Imagine a future where the Moon acts as a gas station for all space activities, providing fuel and other resources to spacecraft as they journey deeper into the solar system. With its low gravity and strategic location, the Moon is the perfect place for refueling and restocking.

This idea of balancing parallel processes is not in line with Toyota Production System philosophy imo. Optimizing for flow is far superior to optimizing for parallelism. So much of TPS is about risk mitigation, but with parallelism a single point of failure will cause massive downstream effects (ie 30 parts sitting useless because 1 part was bad)
Tesla's next-generation vehicle (coming in 2025) will use a groundbreaking manufacturing process that the company calls the "Unboxed Process." Here's an explanation by @larsmoravy of what that means and why it's a big deal:
