@amn81052 @CSI_Starbase Copied is a stretch given that there are reports they talked to the FIA about it a year ago and it’s been in development. It’s a very different solution from Ferrari

I just realized F1 is back tomorrow 🥲
I wonder if a 1 month break was enough for Honda to finally get their shit together.
Will be interesting to see how many teams copied the Macarena flip flop wing as well. I want to see it actually used beyond FP1 for once.

@AlextheAdm1ral My hot take is the gen 7 and this are not conflicting issues. The issue for nascar was making a spec car. They could easily still do that but make the design very different for the next gen car. NASCAR c-suite has this affinity to defend the gen 7 bc of the construction method

Steve O'Donnell will be the most beloved man in NASCAR if he does this. I'm talking goodwill for decades if we get the Oreilly car without spacers for Cup

If Steve O’Donnell wants to truly unite the NASCAR fanbase, he will concede that the future of NASCAR does not rely on the Gen 7 car. It relies on the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series car. Please. Concede the obvious. Make the future racing product better.

@daletanhardt I’m a relatively new nascar fan to take it with a grain so salt, but it seems to me that every time nascar defends the gen 7, it’s about the construction method, since the teams were destroying themselves or whatever. Fan criticism is over the design. Those are not conflicting

@joe_srigley I felt it made the strategy in the first stage very interesting (and punished mistakes, hard day to be a denny fan) but the 2nd and 3rd stages showed that we definitely need work on the car. Neither line prevailed and it was gridlocked.
English
I think I know the answer based on what I've seen on social media today, but do you think adjusting the stage lengths did ANYTHING to help the product at Talladega today? What are your thoughts?

@NASCARInsights Has this ever happened before that every driver of a race that weekend was a first time winner?

Carson Hocevar earns his first career win at Talladega, the youngest Talladega winner since Kyle Busch in 2008
Each race at Talladega this weekend saw a first time winner:
Cup Series - Carson Hocevar
O'Reilly Series - Corey Day
ARCA - Andy Jankowiak

Kvapil and Allgaier pass-through for impeding cars that were remaining on the race track.

@BoziTatarevic @jeff_gluck I think that last statement is a big impact in whether overtimes are good or not. In 2026 a restart extending the distance of a race that basically went green is bullshit, but if there were already yellows it makes more sense.
Idk how to describe it better than that
English
@jeff_gluck The spring 2026 and spring 2024 Kansas races played out almost exactly the same with who was leading and how the races ended and when. The only difference was that the 2024 race had multiple cautions and restarts inside of stage 3.
English
The spring Kansas race in 2024 holds a record of 95.8% yes on the @jeff_gluck poll.
Hamlin, Buescher, and Larson were the dominant cars with Hamlin leading until a late race yellow that led to overtime.
Hamlin lost the lead on the restart and Larson won the race.

@BoziTatarevic I think there are different expectations for drafting tracks.

@Orbital_Perigee Perun is pretty good. A bit out of his depth on space topics but mostly good.
More good than bad

Every video on mars discovery is like, "we found this evidence that is really only explanable by life at this point, but we have no life detecting instruments on Mars. We have to be very certain before we say."
LETS SEND THAT EQUIPMENT ITS BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE VIKING. PURPOSEFULLY NOT SENDING LIFE SCIENCE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILURES OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY'S HISTORY.

@Robotbeat NASA’s astronaut corps will require the diversity no matter what. They are a good group and expertise will net out what everyone wants without ever needing to say it
English
NASA should stop tiptoing around space settlement as a goal. Unlike pseudomilitary Apollo, Artemis has the explicit goal of sending the first woman to the Moon. Human settlement as a goal naturally calls for sending representatives of our full biology, no need to appeal to DEI.

The only part of SLS that has a limited supply not being built are the boosters which is why BOLE existed.
With the cancellation of Block 1B/2 that has put BOLE on pause but there’s 0 reason to stop BOLE since it an work on SLS B1 Standard (forever known to me as SLS Block 1S).*

Ironically, the SLS skeptics are some of the few that want to increase the SLS launch rate. SLS is an interim launch system. Built using spare parts whose factory lines shuttered decades ago (& we’re not even trying to reuse them), there’s a finite number of launches before we run out & need either a massive upgrade program (delays, tens of billions) or we use alternatives. And now we have alternatives, we can just fly those few limited launches (between 4 and 8 total, depending on how you count). The SLS maximalists want us to slow down the SLS launch rate to match the upgrade cycle which we can’t really afford and won’t need.

FYI, I’m hearing everything is fine with the Artemis II heat shield.
English
Kinda got lost in the Artemis return hype…
The other guys really need to start naming their vehicles; serial numbers are boring. IDC if there’s going to hundreds of ships and boosters to name 😤

@iallergicspace Ok yes, I’ll give you the technicality since the ICPS didn’t do the TLI. BUT UR ON THIN ICE PAL!!

@ThePrimalDino Erm technically it only put people into earth orbit and Orion went to the moon
Pls I kid

You're telling me SLS sent people to the moon? In the past tense?
