The lack of vacuum relight is really interesting - I thought that was the biggest barrier to a “real” orbital flight with a payload that can start offsetting development costs.
But yes, everything else about this flight plan is exciting!
The space agency did not describe what options are on the table, but sources said they range from flying the spacecraft “as is” with a thorough understanding of the leak and confidence it won’t become more significant in flight, to removing the capsule from its Atlas V rocket and taking it back to a hangar for repairs.
Theoretically, the former option could permit a launch attempt as soon as next week. The latter alternative could delay the launch until at least late summer.
Late summer! Ouch. Sounds like that’s based on ISS parking spot availability.
I'm dual booting Pop_OS and Windows 11 for now while l try things out. I went with Pop_OS for the NVIDIA drivers, since I have a NVIDIA card. Installation went smoothly, but setup is where things started to get a little weird....
I’ve never had OP’s problem, but another avenue I’d consider is to set display settings in the nvidia-settings app, which can be opened with a GUI from the terminal. These settings are separate from those in the normal settings menu, in ways I don’t totally understand.
Under one of the options, astronauts would launch into low-Earth orbit inside an Orion spacecraft and rendezvous there with a Starship vehicle, separately launched by SpaceX…The crew would then return to Earth.
Darn. You may already be aware of it, but ProtonDB is an excellent resource. People share their experiences with specific games, and quite often someone will have found a workaround for problems.
(Sorry for the delayed response, my app didn’t alert me)
I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it’s actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website’s lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I’m just going to pretend the service doesn’t exist.
Just letting you know that the Lemmy.World stickies are broken again, and we’re still seeing Development Thread #54. I posted a link over there.
I don’t think there’s anything you or I can do about it. Took me a while to realize what was happening.
As always, thanks for these updates! They are very much appreciated even when I don’t actively engage. Additionally, I keep meaning to thank you for posting Nitter links for as long as you could. You’re awesome :)
I think you’ve fixed it! Right now the stickies are this thread and the 7-18 bulletin :)
Responding to your comment on thread #54: your early-April comment announcing this thread didn’t appear until I clicked on the link in your reply today. My click seems to have pulled it over. Which seems like a really strange federation issue, given that all your other comments seem to appear in world. Though I guess I wouldn’t know?
If I get a chance this weekend I’ll try to compare some World threads to Sh.itjust.works ones and let you know what I find!
I remember feeling stunned about how limited the HLS test was going to be. So much effort and money to NOT test critical systems? I hope they keep adding elements.
Was happy to see that Fanatical launched a new VR game bundle recently for a fairly good price and seems like it has games that haven't been bundled often before.

I’m surprised that fuel slosh wasn’t mentioned in relation to the booster filter problem. “Crazy slosh from hot-staging” seemed like a very convincing theory a few months ago. I guess this means hot-staging is here to stay.
