Wow, I don’t follow clock, but that seems pretty fast! I noticed that he didn’t flip the clock over at any point during the solve. Is that due to luck or skill?
I wonder what caused the temporary regressions in Q3 and Q4? I assume the Q1 improvement is due to the majority of the fleet switching to the FSD v12 stack.
The Thunderbolt was one of the more unique designs for an outdoor warning siren. Instead of using a large chopper (the part that makes the noise in mechanical sirens) the Thunderbolt uses a small chopper through which pressurized air is fed from a Roots blower at the base of the siren. Because the feed of air is constant from...
I work in security at a northern michigan ski/golf resort. The resort spans 2 properties and has a combined total of roughly 3000 acres. As you might expect, it can be a tough job at times, with drunks, noise complaints, safety issues, etc but wtf do you do when your job is mostly just tough for simply feeling “creepy”?...
The original owner was dead and apparantly “shows up” in the convention center, rarily.
Have you considered interviewing the original owner on this topic? They would presumably know the property well, and might be able to provide some insight.
Alternatively, have you considered that you may be experiencing a psychotic mirage? :)
Starlink Group 6-62 launch out of SLC-40 in Florida currently scheduled for 2024-05-23 02:35 UTC, or 2024-05-22 22:35 local time (EDT). Booster 1080-8 to land on A Shortfall of Gravitas....
Counting down to tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of @Starlink satellites from Florida. Propellant load has started, all systems are currently go, winds are calm, and clouds are keeping a respectable distance
Better late than never, I suppose. NASA awarded the first Commercial Resupply Services contracts (Dragon and Cygnus) in 2008. That program has gone quite well, so hopefully the European version is similarly successful.
Could they launch southeast towards Barbados? That distance is much greater than, say, Cape Canaveral to the Bahamas, which is a fairly common trajectory.
RFA’s own kerosene-fuelled Helix engines. The first stage has nine engines, while the second stage has one. Claimed to be able to lift 1,300 kilograms to a 500-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit, the booster comes with the Redshift Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV), which functions as a kick-stage and on-orbit services spacecraft.
Ah, so it’s a bigger version of Electron. Looks awesome!
I suppose that kind of counts, but Boeing doesn’t make the entire SLS, do they? Just the upper stage?
As you point out, SLS works fine, it’s just ridiculously expensive.
Edit: Upper stage is ULA (for now). Boeing makes the core stage, sans engines, which are Shuttle leftovers or Aerojet Rocketdyne in the future. SRBs are also Shuttle leftovers, with Northrop Grumman making new ones. Orion is from Airbus.
