Not to mention these are gas giants at a relatively nearby star (300 lightyears away) and we consider the universe is something shy of 100 billion lightyears in diameter. We're not even scratching the surface!
What does "drive-by-wire" achieve other than removing a shaft between the steering wheel and steering rack? Cars already have collision avoidance without full self-driving capabilities.
Most flight schools have much older aircraft-- think 70s and 80s-- that have carbs. Newer aircraft are fuel injected, but often more expensive per hour.
The gestures demonstrated are easily discoverable and are so widely used now, I'd argue the majority of iOS/Android users are familiar. Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, etc. all follow these similar UI/UX features. Software should work well for everyone, but it's evolving and users adapt.
This is an incredible redesign, utilizing widely known gestures (swipes, double taps, etc). Apple should embrace these further, IMO, and a casual-use app like Music makes the most sense. I'm a longtime Spotify Premium user and I tried v1 of Music but it was jus too painful. This would have made me stay. Great job.
Incredible... the most eye-opening difference was the majority of Americans believe global warming will harm people in the US, but very few people believe it will harm them personally. And this isn't limited to west/northeast coasts-- it covers the entire country. What would cause people to think GW will harm others but not themselves?
What do you mean by a grid? Long-haul direct flights offer many benefits, such as lower drag at cruising altitude, engine efficiency at altitude, etc. [1] Biggest fuel savings are going to come from more efficient engines and weight reduction (composites).

See other comments regarding employer being able to create an account via POST request. I'd assume that's the only way to create clean separation, even then I don't doubt they'll be able to fill in that gap!
Serious question: what will the tolerance be for loss of human lives when crewed flights start? While it's entirely different, government space programs have endured many [0].
I'm most surprised that they're skipping a smaller orbital rocket before jumping to the massive scale of the New Glenn. Seems that there would be a lot to learn from that as well, with the potential of flying revenue generating payloads to LEO.
