The places we are actually talking about is Tunesia, Morroco, and to a lesser extend Algeria. So: yes, those places are relatively stable, peaceful and western friendly.
Please look on a map where the countries you mention actually are... Somalia... WTF... you have any idea how far away that is from Europe? Or the north african coast? And why would it be relevant anyway?
Well, I live in Europe. And just like before 3 month ago or so, using internet outside of my country was absurd expensive. So I used to load the maps of my destination, in my own country, before I traveled. For the route I don't need a map, only for the destination area.
The desert starts a mile from the coast away... sigh. Look on a map!
Or did you look on a map and got confused because the letters: S A H A R A are in the middle of nowhere and you can not deduct from the colour how big the desert is?
Actually if you want to get away from the upheals and to a safe place, I would say, basic navigation skills are the most important thing when the appocalypse is comming. No idea why you think otherwise:)
type 'ok maps' into the search field and it downloads and caches the current map display. Does not work for every place, though, some areas are 'off limites' and don't get cached, usually government districts or important parts of capital cities.
The problem with google maps, at least on my old iPad and iPhone, is: You open it and it starts to load the area around you. Instead of simply displaying the map you had opend last time you used it, which is 99% of the time what I want.
English is not my first language. Hiwever what you want to imply with figurative versus litteraly is beyond me:) So I guess it is not a language problem but some other communication problem.
You forget it is China. Half planned economy. Half capitalism. They planned for buildin the telescope, but relied on the 'free market' to have workers for it. Which would perhaps work if they had not ridiculous requirements like 20 years experience.
Actually you can not build a Sarturn V again. There never where any 'version controlled' plans/sketches for them. So what you now have are mere ideas on uncorrect blueprints, and if you have luck, some shipping lists for parts (which I doubt). Reviving a 40+ year old project is close to impossible, imho.
Food prices sky rocketed as cars began consuming the same food as humans. On which planet? Poor people starved to death in the thousands. On which planet?

Then you don't buy an electric car that only has a range of 160miles.
Wow, that was so simple again.
Sorry, that I had to put it so bluntly at you.
The Sahara?
Probably.
The desert?
No.

It is more what we would refer to as a symbiotic relationship :D
That makes more sense
Don't get your point.
What do you want to scan? A more or less dismanteled Saturn V in a museum?
To use CAD/CAM you need a model. If you have none ....

In a small town you have no grid loss at all!!!
That was the topic.
Thanx for understanding nothing and wasting our time.
Well, than a simple observation would be: cars are evil :D
It actually is.
It is not Irak after all, or Syria.

But the current situation is that much of Europe's energy is supplied by Russia, which,
That is wrong. Especially if we talk about electricity.
Basically only Germany is importing from Russia and that is mostly gas for heating houses, not for making electricity.
Look on a map, man.
First of all there is no big distance.
Secondly grid loss exists only in the dumb uneducated american heads.
For such a project you probably use a 1.1 mega volt DC line, transportation loss would then be in the 1% range.
Thirdly: who the funk cares about grid loss when the energy is basically free? Even with 50% loss it would be a bargain.
Paper maps, too, tell you where a gas station is. ...
And a church if you need that
When actually was it that you last time looked on a paper map?

Anyway, if you wanted to argue about that you could have worded it better.
In Japan and Europe cities are not build around train stations.
Please give me your address. ...
I can google for you in your neighbourhood for a doctor that can help you with your mental illness.

Interesting.
I guess none of the engineers at Space X has thougt about that.

There is no way to "debunk" the hyperloop concept.
If you don't grasp it, you are very bad in physics.
