No Headphone Jack in iPhone 7 Is No Innovation, Look at Space X
There’s nothing to be excited about the new iPhone 7, so we’ll talk about humans landing on Mars via Space X.

Apple iPhone 7 is finally here. Now if you're someone who has 60,000 to 92,000 rupees to spend and is in the market for a brand new premium flagship, you can very well buy the iPhone 7 and you won't be disappointed. It is a capable phone and with the refreshed iOS10, has some cool new tricks up its sleeve.
But Apple is no longer the innovation powerhouse it used to be, which is why, I'm not going to waste any more time talking about it, I'd rather draw your attention to some cool disruptive tech like SpaceX's Interplanetary transport system.
That's a mouthful, what does it do? Eccentric billionaire and serial industry disruptor Elon Musk has an outlandish yet brilliant idea. Humans have f#$ked up planet earth and Musk thinks before our species gets wiped out here, we must colonise other planets.
The planet that makes most sense due to the carbon dioxide and nitrogen atmosphere and due to its day being 24.5 hours long is the red rock, aka MARS.
Elon Musk's Space X is already building a ginormous spaceship that will be ready to fly 100 human space adventurers to Mars as early as 2024. If all goes well, they will land on the red planet after a 3 month journey.
You need approximately 2,00,000 dollars, an appetite for space exploration and the readiness to lose your life in the name of creating history. It sounds audacious and could be a plain disaster, but hey, who said innovation comes easy.
And you thought removing a headphone jack required courage, Apple! A spaceship to take homo sapiens beyond planet earth and set up a Mars Colony. That is the text book definition of innovation.
