> ELI5... why is digging a tunnel tech news? Does Elon dig them faster or more cheaply or something?
Honestly as a 5 year old you are not going to get it.
This is multi levelled. Some people just like Elon. But what's really however interesting is how Elon is changing manufacturing. It's like a new Kanban
But it's not 5 year old stuff. I'd just say,
I know all the other kids like rockets and think they are cool to watch take off, but tunnels are pretty cool to watch too.... and so are processes but that's adult stuff for now kido (and give them a wink)
Just a pet peeve, I hope I don't tell my kids it's "adults stuff" and leave it at that. I think kids can sometimes surprise you at how much they can understand. Explain it as simply as you can, and if they don't get it try again. If they still don't get it, well maybe it's too advanced for them, or maybe you can't explain it in a simple enough way.
I know I was eternally annoyed at how much adults underestimated me growing up.
