From 1981 to 2011 (30 years), astronauts glided back to Earth and landed in reusable shuttles. Now we’re back to 1960's capsules. The space program is headed in the wrong direction.
"Disclosure is going to come out of Huntsville, AL. Out of Redstone Arsenal. Restone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL is the biggest f*cking deal that you've never heard of." - Amy Eskridge Amy's father is Richard Eskridge, NASA plasma fusion propulsion engineer who worked with Helion Energy founder John Slough. Trump just moved Space Force to Redstone Arsenal.
🚨Dear followers, I wanted to let you know that I started the process of selling Trump support merchandise by registering a business account with an overseas print-on-demand service. However, even after 3 weeks, my sales approval has still not been granted (normally the review only takes about 5 days to start selling). When I inquired about why the permission hasn’t been approved, they keep responding with just “Please review your registration details carefully,” without pointing out any specific issues. It looks like I may need to rely on the power of my followers, so please stay tuned for any additional updates.😔
Disney spent $1 billion in 2019 building a Star Wars theme park where you were not allowed to meet Luke, Leia, Han, or Darth Vader. Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland was set on Batuu, a backwater planet in a narrow window between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. By that timeline Luke was dead. Han was dead. Vader had died 30 years earlier. Leia was alive but had no canonical reason to show up at an outer rim smuggler outpost. Imagineer Scott Trowbridge spelled out the design rule in 2022. Characters on Batuu would stay locked to their specific era. No visitors from other Star Wars timelines. The immersion was the entire point. In practice guests flew to Anaheim for Star Wars and walked through a $1 billion set to meet Vi Moradi and Dok-Ondar. The locals of Black Spire Outpost. The parallel failure was Galactic Starcruiser. $5,000 for two nights in the same sequel-era window. No Luke, no Vader, no Han, no Leia. Disney wrote down $250 million to close it 18 months after opening. On April 29, Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland abandons the rule. Darth Vader will roam Batuu hunting Luke. Leia and Han will appear at the Millennium Falcon. Kylo Ren is being pulled from the land and relocated to Tomorrowland. The ambient Batuu music gets replaced with the John Williams score. Disney spent seven years defending the design principle. Then Galactic Starcruiser closed with a $250 million write-down. Luke Skywalker showed up for one limited event last year and got swarmed by guests. The rule quietly got dropped. Avengers Campus figured this out on day one. You put Captain America in the Avengers land.
No one should be believing any headlines at this late date. We all automatically ought to distrust every single one, including those from "friendly" sources. This one is an excellent lesson in how something true is false. "Found dead" forsooth.
Getting doxxed from Goodreads gotta be the lamest way to go down of all time
Time Dilation kind of makes the whole “datacenters in space” idea more fun. Technically…something like a GPS Block III CPU runs an extra ~7,000 clock cycles per day compared to the same machine on earth. Extend this to the extreme, and you get the whole subfield of CS+physics called relativistic hypercompuation. There’s some (fun?) papers that allow you to solve the halting problem by placing yourself dangerously close to a black hole…while your computer safely computes for ~infinite-ish amounts of time. One of the better papers on this field appears to be: "Relativistic computers and the Turing barrier" (Németi & Dávid 2006) (sadly, the maximum speedup just escaping earths gravity well is something like 1 x 10 ^ (-10), so yeah the blackhole thing is kinda necessary)
