Probably also makes it impossible to get from the vial to the syringe.

People trying to climb tall unstable stacks of milk crates, which is such a bad idea the FDA had to issue a warning. Definitely not an OSHA approved activity.

The situation you describe was used by some older satellite internet providers, which had a single satellite all the way up in geostationary orbit. But Starlink orbits at a much lower altitude, which really cuts down the latency. And because each satellite is only shared by the users in a much smaller area, uplink…

SpaceX has been able to drastically reduce both the cost of the satellite, and the cost of launching it. Gone are the days of 1-2 billion dollars for a single satellite. Now they launch them in batches of 60 at a time, and Starship could reduce those costs even more. And the hardware can also be much cheaper, because…

I admit no such thing. But I also know that 90% of people consider themselves to be superb drivers, and 50% of them are wrong. Perhaps more.

Maybe this would help?

But using Bluetooth compounds the problem. If you have a wired headset, it does still compress it for the conference software. But if you have bluetooth, then it gets compressed by Bluetooth, then expanded and re-compressed by a different algorithm for the conference. (And possibly recompressed a third time if the…

NASA is getting smarter. This contract is fixed price, so there’s no “cost plus” bonuses for stretching it out. (Unlike many previous contracts.)

Who would want to be a pedestrian, stuck outside of the metal shell that at least provides some protection when the other idiots make mistakes?

But those oversight activities would be related to designing/building the HLS variant. The basic Starship predates all that, as does a separate contract with DoD for developing a refuel capability.

They probably started stopping quite some time ago, when they saw the truck on the track.

In truth, this won’t slow SpaceX that much, since it’s supposed to be resolved by November under the expedited schedule. For the next few months, SpaceX will still be focused on things that are only tangentially related to HLS and thus not stopped by the injunction, such as getting Starship to orbit, or testing…

If it’s rolling towards you, I’m pretty sure the only thought is, “better get out of the way.”

Surprisingly, yes.

Surprisingly, yes.

But a board game would have much lower startup costs, (printing, etc) than an electronic device with a custom plastic molding and circuit boards.

The SpaceX proposal has two independent airlocks, and associated elevators, on opposite sides.

They’re bigger than I am, so it would not end well for me in any case. There’s been a few times they pop up right in front when I didn’t even know they were close.

But even with a full flight director autopilot, (I can do routes with my boat autopilot, too.) the pilot is still responsible to avoid other aircraft and follow any requests from ATC.

People are going to assume it does that no matter what name you put on it. I have an autopilot on my boat, but that just means it can sail in a straight line. I still have to keep watch and adjust course to avoid other boats, whales, or islands that might get in the way. Airplane autopilots are the same - it flies a…
