@MongoTheGeek @gatorgar @SpaceX No. Elon wanted to buy Russian rockets for what would have been a vanity project of having a tiny greenhouse on Mars. They rejected his offer and literally spit on him. So he founded SpaceX and made his own rockets. The rest is history.

@gatorgar Didn't @SpaceX start out flying old Russian hardware? And wasn't the Falcon 1 derived from it?

Interesting that starship/super heavy v3 adopted the same style hot staging ring as the Soyuz (and N1!) Soviet engineering can leave a lot to be desired, but when they brute force their way to an optimal solution, it’s usually pretty optimal.

@CSI_Starbase @Krishell1985 America. We don't rely on third world oil. We import from our hemisphere and refine it here and export that. Even if we stop importing we have enough reserve here to ramp production up to make the difference. Autozone is being ridiculous.

In today’s example of things the MSM is failing to warn people about…👇🏾 This is going to lead to a lot of blown motors as people try to substitute things that don’t belong in their cars.

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

@Mafivo199564 @p9cker_girl It means racism. It means xenophobia. It means cultural appropriation. It means colonialism. It means cultural genocide. It means you were the bigots all along. You erase the work of others to draw over it with crayon because you believe you are better than they are.

@INiallAnderson Well, my brain did a Windows error noise until I remembered that barges were originally meant for transporting cargo, not landing rockets on. Then it made sense.

@tunkoer @Yrouel86 @JerkPup @DJSnM "Vastly different mission"? In what way? Are they not both for commanding and maneuvering spacecraft in space with 6 DOF? NASA once didn't deem flight proven boosters as safe for satellites let alone humans. Now they do. Standards change as high quality data is gathered.

Every time this comparison is made people disingenuously act as if Crew Dragon hasn't successfully completed 19 missions so far (20th ongoing) as if SpaceX didn't know what they were doing. Also the interface has been developed in close collaboration with astronauts.

@tunkoer @Yrouel86 @JerkPup @DJSnM Yet they are willing to fly Orion with humans without testing the life support system beforehand. NASA's opinion change will when Lunar Starship lands on the moon autonomously for its test flight. They "aren't willing" until the politics change. The politics have changed.

@SecretRaginMan @Yrouel86 @JerkPup @DJSnM Sorry I was talking about the HLS. SpaceX is in disagreement with NASA about manual backup controls in the HLS. They settled on touchscreen controls in Crew Dragon because it had extensive flight heritage with Cargo; NASA aren't willing to certify that for moon landing now.

@Truthful_ast Lots of people seem to have forgotten the performative outrage over SpaceX's 45,000 sat Starlink constellation plans. "Light pollution" this and "space junk" that. Now they only remember current thing which is the datacenters. Goldfish, these people.

@spce_enthusiast @Truthful_ast No, don't gaslight. They raised hell about the 45,000 or so in the original Starlink constellation. We're not talking about the gosh darn datacenters thing. "But the light pollution and junk in the sky!?!?!?" They ain't gonna say shit about Bezos "space junk", are they?

@Truthful_ast Tbf, that's just slightly more than the number of sats in the final Starlink constellation And not 1,000,000 orbital datacenters

Casey Handmer@CJHandmer·
Just to be clear here, NASA declared its recent test a "successful wet dress rehearsal" despite missing its T-30s target by almost five minutes, botching the dreaded Orion hatch close out procedure, and managing to achieve up to 16% H2 due to copious leakage at the fueling interface. For reference, the lower flammability limit, and system requirement, is just 4%, beyond which this nightmare fuel can burn and detonate in air. The "wet dress" was so successful, in fact, that they have to do it all over again in the unspecified near future. But before that, the same team ran a "(no) confidence test" on the leaky fueling interface which failed badly enough that they buried it until 8pm on the following Friday. The SLS ground support budget runs at $650m per year, and they've had 1173 days since the last test to get this right. Coincidentally it also took 1173 days for Hyman Rickover and his team to ship the world's first nuclear power reactor, wrapped in a fully functional submarine, for about a third of the total cost of the SLS's botched ground support equipment, in the 1950s. What a difference a serious team makes! Furthermore, we are assured that the engineering on SLS/Orion is so rigorous and the team is so elite that it's totally okay to test fly this turkey with four currently living astronauts on it, not to Low Earth Orbit like some kind of participation trophy Starliner repeat, but all the way around the Moon, on a completely unique, untested configuration. On the same week that a key SLS contractor's solid fueled booster rocket engine, launching a critical national security payload on a flagship national rocket, managed to explode, for the second time in three flights, for no apparent reason. I'm going to say it. What do @CAgovernor and @SenTedCruz have in common? They both want to be President and they both will apparently go to the hilt to defend the worst national flagship infrastructure contractors in the history of the entire world. Why are they determined to ally so overtly with such conspicuous losers? What can they possibly be getting from such a raw deal? How can they possibly be so desperate? We can choose to roll the dice with four lives on Artemis II. If they survive the launch, they can snap some really cool photos with their newly certified iPhones of the Moon shooting by out their window as they follow a trajectory that Apollo 13 took only under extreme duress. They can fulfill Artemis II's (I kid you not) "science objectives" by performing a visual inspection of the Moon that you can do yourself in the comfort of your own backyard with a $200 pair of binoculars. But when (not if) something goes horribly wrong, I do not want to hear "no-one could have seen this coming" or "we followed a rigorous flight rationale process" or "we checked all the boxes" or "this was the best we could do". At this point, the safest thing about the SLS and Orion is that they're so FUBARed that it might not even be possible to get them to T-0. Astronauts and taxpayers deserve far better.

The real problem with "hate speech" laws is their definition is always merely: "speech I hate to see". Their "misinformation" laws define misinformation as: "information contrary to my current political viewpoint". It is nothing more than censorship of any and all opposition.

John Carter@martianwyrdlord

The neural queue never made sense to me. Why would animal life on Pandora evolve an open, cross-species connection that enables one organism to invade the central nervous system of another? What possible advantage does this confer? The downsides - infection pathway, loss of autonomy to predatory or parasitic organisms - are obvious. Now that we know that it's because Eywa is a planetary-scale fungal parasite it makes a lot more sense. It also points towards an obvious endgame for the series. Jake Sully and his merry band of alien bioterrorists hijack a starship and return to Earth, carrying Eywa spores. They smuggle these into the solar system and past the planetary defenses, landing on the planet to plant the seeds that will infect Earth with a new Mother. The spores take root, humans and other life forms begin to mutate as the infection takes hold, and a new Gaian Golden Age of ecological harmony takes hold as humanity is enslaved by the alien parasite, which asks only that the species give up its autonomy and renounce high technology, to be trapped for the rest of time in a state of hallucinatory primitivism. It's possible that this is the Eywa parasite's entire purpose: a biotechnological Inhibitor that infects biospheres in order to prevent technological civilization from spreading beyond its home planet, designed as a weapon by some ancient race of engineers who didn't feel like sharing the Galaxy with competitors.

@Abcight @MadamSavvy Of course a pronouns-in-bio would be in support of colonialism. Which is what localization is: you remove the original culture and supplant it with your own. It's racist and demeaning as it suggest the foreign culture is inferior to yours. Why bother importing it then?

This had better be fake because that is exceptionally soul sucking that once again, localization strikes. I really, REALLY, REALLY. Hope this is fake. Because they don't use this language in the chinese version, she just calls her a dumb robot. Cant ever just have people do their stupid job. I also went and listened to the english voices of Jahoda and Ineffa....what the hell man, for all the talent in the world, who the heck signed off on all that.
