New painting prep, detail: “Deadline”.
The concept for this came from one of my Inktober sketches five years ago 🖋️. Thanks to my daughter Willow for the reference photos, not exactly a comfortable pose to hold 😬😘.
Booster 7 and 9 have several significant differences, starting with the changeover from Raptor 2 to Raptor 2.1, which uses electric #TVC (Thrust Vector Control). A possible reason why #SpaceX has an issue with #methane leakage compared to other #rockets could be the high #pressure that #Raptor operates at in its Methane turbopumps, hot gas manifold, and the Main Combustion Chamber (MCC). One of the most obvious changes to Booster 9 was the addition of a hot stage vent ring on the top that will allow SpaceX to fire 🔥 the ship’s engines while still attached to the booster. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/09/starship-upgrades-upcoming-test-flight/
Update. New study: "Academics who perceive high #pressure to publish tend to employ instrumental publication strategies rather than normative ones…Publishing results in open-access outlets or in native languages other than English is less important for those under pressure." https://academic.oup.com/rev/advance-article/doi/10.1093/reseval/rvae011/7634754
There are many large and #serious#problems in the world. Many people are victimized by the #system in a thousand different ways. This is not their story; it is not about their problems, but this should not be seen as minimizing them.
I'd like to talk about something a little closer to home: #employee#abuse in the #tech field. I've been in this field for <mumble> years and worked for tiny companies, medium consulting companies, large orgs, and as a one-man independent contractor.
And just how "optional" is it? Are employees turning up because they'll look bad if everyone else on their team goes and they don't?
A lot of managers are blind to this kind of #silent#pressure on employees. They are completely unaware of the power dynamic between management and employees, and so they misunderstand the #motivations and #behaviours of those employees.
