@elonmusk @elonmusk Couldn’t you launch the heat shield separately? Saves a ton of weight on launch, no? A separate exo skeleton (or two?) launched prior, attached in orbit before reentry and then removed before relaunch.

The Starship V3 heat shield held well

@elonmusk @Mookafish Non engineer here. Couldn’t you launch the heat shield separately? Saves a ton of weight on launch. A separate exo skeleton that is launched prior, attached in orbit before reentry and then removed before relaunch.

@Mookafish No burn-throughs. Shield held.

Just wanna say, look at that heat shield. This has to be the cleanest one yet post-entry.

HEADS UP! 🚀 There's a SpaceX launch scheduled for Thursday at 5:59 AM! The trajectory is northeast, which means Florida and parts of the Southeast have a chance to see a bright jellyfish cloud *IF* the launch is on time. Make sure to take pictures if you see it!

Xi Jinping dejó al planeta con la boca abierta. En un banquete con solo 47 invitados, el presidente chino miró a Trump y soltó sin filtro: “Trump está haciendo a América grande de nuevo.” Sí, leíste bien. El líder del Partido Comunista Chino recitó el eslogan MAGA en público. Trump convirtió a Xi al MAGA. Xi continuó con un discurso épico: “En el 250 aniversario de la independencia de Estados Unidos, los más de 300 millones de estadounidenses están revitalizando el espíritu de patriotismo, innovación y emprendimiento, e inaugurando un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la nación.” Y remató: “Los pueblos de China y Estados Unidos son dos grandes pueblos. La gran revitalización de la nación china y hacer a América grande de nuevo pueden ir de la mano. Podemos ayudarnos mutuamente a triunfar y llevar prosperidad a todo el mundo.”

A los 30 años, borracho y sin trabajo, me senté en el borde de la cama y pensé: "Anthony, no puedes seguir así". Había llegado a Londres desde Gales con un sueño: ser actor. Pero el sueño se convirtió en pesadilla. El alcohol me controlaba. Perdía papeles, mi mujer me dejó, mis amigos me abandonaron. Pasaba los días en bares oscuros y las noches en camerinos vacíos. Una noche, en 1967, entré en una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Tenía miedo. No del alcohol, sino de mí mismo. De la debilidad que sentía al pedir ayuda. No bebí un solo trago en 57 años. Después llegó la sobriedad. Y con ella, el trabajo. "El hombre elefante", "Los restos del día", "El Silencio de los Corderos... un Oscar y muchos premios. Una carrera que todavía hoy continúa. Pero la fama no curó las heridas. Tuve que aprender a vivir conmigo mismo a aceptar mi pasado y a perdonarme. Hace unos años, durante la pandemia, grabé un video que se hizo viral. Hablaba de no rendirse. Hablaba de la vejez, de la soledad, del valor de seguir adelante. No lo hice por fama. Lo hice porque aquel chico de 30 años necesitaba oír esas palabras. Si hoy te sientes perdido, si el alcohol o cualquier otra droga te está destruyendo, pide ayuda. Yo lo hice. Y aquí estoy, medio siglo después, sobrio y contándotelo. No hay vergüenza en caer. La hay en no levantarse. Anthony Hopkins🇬🇧

7,000 false positives per square millimeter. The culprit was the lab gloves. University of Michigan researchers just upended a core assumption in microplastics science. Latex and nitrile gloves, worn by the scientists doing the measuring, shed stearate particles that look chemically identical to polyethylene. Standard infrared and Raman instruments can't tell them apart. The gloves were counting as plastic. Seven glove types tested. All contaminated. The cheapest fix: switch to cleanroom gloves, which dropped false positives to around 100 per mm² vs. 7,000. The "credit card per week" headline (5 grams, WWF/Newcastle 2019) has separate problems. A 2022 re-analysis found severe methodological errors in the original estimate. Actual measured intake is likely 100x lower. None of this means microplastics are harmless. Last month's data on brain accumulation still stands. But the numbers driving the panic may have been measuring the scientists, not the environment. Science catching its own errors is exactly how it's supposed to work.

@steveo Bro. You played this exact VHS tape at our Surf Expo booth in Orlando. Early 1990s. ❤️

I was gnarly in the ‘90s!
