This is my grandad, he built the original R2-D2 for the first Star Wars film… Jack was a master sheet metal worker, and was roped into using his skills on an obscure project to turn the sketches for the droid into something that could be constructed out of aluminium sheets. I always knew he'd helped make part of R2-D2. However I only found this photo in recent years and have since learned that he was actually instrumental to the construction of the entire droid, particularly with working out how to machine the complex shapes like the dome and legs out of single sheets of aluminium. He didn't just build one either, he ended up constructing a handful of the droids for various uses in the film. I still have no idea how he did it, especially without modern software and computer-controlled machining. Unfortunately I never got to know him as he died when I was a baby, though I have a feeling we share a lot in common. I also have his old Dragon 32 computer that he was using to learn programming in the 1980s, with reams of hand-written code that still works on the computer. #MayThe4th #maythefouthbewithyou #StarWars

@BinaryBlobs @physorg_com @richgel999 @universetoday Probably safer there than here. ...but it's the launch that is risky. In the end, couldn't be much riskier than our nuclear-powered ships and subs. We need to find uranium (or something else) on Moon/Mars/Asteroids. 😉

The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no. I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives. wsj.com/economy/u-s-de…

Apparently Starship has a launch window that opens May 12th... Looks like I'm not quite done shooting giant rockets yet!

Just realised I've been writing code in one way or another for nearly 30 years 🤯 I'd say today I'm much less in love with the coding part of code, though I still love the magical way it allows me to create things and make my ideas real.

Wartungskosten sind bei vielen das große Schreckgespenst beim Thema Elektroauto. Früher beim Mercedes waren die großen Inspektionen schnell mal 900–1.200 €. Das ist ein Unterschied, den man im Portemonnaie spürt. Selbst beim EQB waren es jedesmal knapp 500 €. Kein Hype – nur meine eigene Rechnung. Was zahlt ihr so für Wartung bei eurem Tesla oder eurem alten Verbrenner? Oder bei einem anderen Elektrofahrzeug?
