Basic answer is large payload at a far reduced cost due to re-useability of rockets. Basically, this is step one to sending things to Mars (which I believe is Musk's ultimate goal).

"It might not have a place in a fairytale (like the goose that laid golden eggs), but there's a bacterium that can absorb compounds rich in toxic metals and extract gold from them, producing tiny gold nuggets."

business opportunity anyone?

DeacHead · Mar 1, 2018

We Can Now Store Light as Sound, And It's a Game Changer For Computing

https://www.sciencealert.com/light-has-been-stored-as-sound-for-the-first-time

Light-based or photonic computers have the potential to run at least 20 times faster than your laptop, not to mention the fact that they won't produce heat or suck up energy like existing devices.

This additional fluid movement system would explain some of the heretofore unexplained spread of cancer and other diseases.
