On the flip side, these are small satellites that were built cheaply on a budget (including the fixed costs for design and R&D) less than half of a single Falcon 9 launch. They are launching to an inclination that is not often used, so there’s nothing similar it can do a rideshare with to utilize a larger rocket. NASA…

Class C RVs are shorter than that. To drive a Class A 40ft RV, you need a Class A license.

Do they answer if you call them on channel 16?

The difficulty to reach them is tied to the expense and time involved. There are also fewer chances for a gravity assist. Nobody said it was impossible.

Evaporation can mean 600 gallons per week must be replaced in the pool. That’s almost the same as watering twice a week.

Might have been the fact that college students typically don’t have great credit to begin with, so nobody wanted your identity. At least some of my classes at least only showed the last 4 digits, but it does seem like a security nightmare for sure. Don’t know how it managed to not get abused much for so long.

No. If the train was diesel, (as it is now,) that doesn’t change the fuel used by the mining and loading equipment. Upgrading one component of the chain to a renewable source is still a net benefit if the others are not (yet) upgraded.

Because it’s not a closed system. It has material input at the top, and output at the bottom, but like a water wheel, the conveyance goes round and round.

I’m fairly certain the diesel trains don’t use a separate car for fuel. They have a rather large belly tank on the engine. But the point on steam engines is good. And in any case, the extra car, if needed, doesn’t matter in this case as long as it’s part of their equation for free power.

You’re also not limited to just one access point. If your router is at one end of the house, and you need better WiFi at the other end, you can add an “Access Point”, (Make sure it is not a second “router”.) which will either be connected by wire, or in mesh mode.

The FDA warning literally just says “Talk to your doctor” rather than just accept random Youtube vids for creating your own “formula”.

Good idea in concept, but it might be slightly disingenuous to compare pre-COVID statistics to a period of time when social media was literally the only contact some kids had outside their household or the class Zoom.

The people who bungled the supply of formula were not the doctors.

I’m not talking about autopilot, I’m talking about dynamic stability. A plane that is already trimmed for level flight will tend to find an equalibrium if there is no manual input. Dihedreal wings will level the wings, and when the plane speeds up (because it is diving) it will naturally try to raise pitch. Autopilot…

The Earth has a strong magnetic field that keeps the worst of the solar radiation from entering the Earth’s magnetosphere. The Sun has a much stronger magnetic field that keeps much stronger radiation from entering the heliosphere. This stronger radiation comes from other stars, neutron stars, supernova, etc. (And…

Yeah, an aux cable gets turned down, so you have to increase volume on the car speakers. Then when you switch back to radio or CD, it’s super loud!

Its not just radiation. Surface color of the satellite also plays a big role in managing heat. White can reflect sunlight heat away while black will absorb more heat, which then must be radiated away with more active cooling.

You can push the stick, (manual input to maintain) or you can adjust trim. If you just push and let go, then it will resume somewhat level flight.

And if it leaks, then somebody’s vital groundwater, which is already in short supply, gets permanently contaminated with salt.
