Because AA depends more heavily on a hub and spoke approach, while Southwest operates many more point to point flights. Southwest operates at Love Field, but it doesn’t depend on it unless you are actually going there. And as Clay mentions, Love’s only runways are already aligned with this wind event, so they could…

So they might have had it running by now, if they started in 2017 when it was being discussed?

They don’t spend that much time in the full suit, because it’s bulky and less comfortable. Most of the time it’s just normal pants and shirts. They put on the full pressure suit only when performing the undocking, and again for the actual reentry, since those are the highest risk of a depressurization event.

That’s true, but it’s the number of orbits beforehand that can vary. In this case, they will be trying  to minimize it by not undocking until it’s almost time. But in most missions, it’s not the primary concern in the scheduling. Usually they want a time slot that is over the US or Russia for best downlink coverage,…

The toilet actually handles those separately, so that part might be ok.

Not to mention the low CG.

Long Beach just finished a bridge replacement to raise from 155 ft of clearance to 205 feet. This will allow even the largest container ships to use the north end of the port.

My Ford has automatic windows, but only when I move the switch further. I have no problems opening windows just a crack. There is a clear detent before it goes into automatic mode.

This. If you fight with physics, chances are you will lose.

Except the current chip shortage means they have X number of $1 chips that can either go in a 20k car or a 40k car. If they can’t increase X to match demand, guess which kind of car will get the chip? So for the moment, they can’t make it up in volume.

I am blessed that my wife and I both agree on no onions.

There are other ports, but they are all much smaller. There’s no excess capacity, and a long lead time to build new cranes and docks.

Isn’t there a rental cost for the container? Seems like Maersk, ONE, or APL will want the container back at some point.

I don’t think Hueneme has any container cranes. They are only equipped for smaller ships.

Los Angeles almost put its port at Santa Monica instead of expanding down south. But I don’t think there was nearly as much room to expand there, and no protection from waves and storms.

It’s already valuable as-is, if we could just get it back on a ship before it heads out. China is running short of the containers because they are all sitting in the 40 ships anchored offshore here.

Time to follow SpaceX and switch to stainless steel.

Now if Intel could manage to catch up on 7nm or 5nm process nodes, that might be useful. They were about 5 years late on 10nm.

They wouldn’t buy more cars, overall. But if VW can get its act together and deliver a good EV before other large makes do, it might get better market share. More VW cars sold. Conversely, if it delays and other makes have good EVs first, it could lose market share. That’s the math for their “lost jobs” claim.

Fully amortizing the R&D cost would make them cheaper after a few years.
