Why would Bezos risk his rocket by inviting Hanks on it?

Hey, there was a long time where Amercica’s Dad was Black, but, uh... he had some issues with sedatives.

Also he was paid for that.

They shot scenes in the Vomit Comet for Apollo 13, where he would have experienced weightlessness for 20-30 seconds. So he probably already has a good idea of what that’s like, albeit without the view. 

If I have understood it correctly, they don’t need state of the art. Those are available. Intel’s CEO told the big three they could have all the 16nm chips they wanted.
Vehicles have to be a little less on the bleeding edge to insure failure rates are microscopic.

Keys are very important.

That would require Blue Origin to launch something into orbit, and we all know Jeff Bezos wouldn’t even try to include a toilet anyway. Piss in the water bottle or else you won’t hit your quota.

Considering how stupefyingly steep the car got before the vehicle lost its battle with gravity, you have to hand it to the tires’ coefficient of friction. Damn near infinite number?

Toilets in weightlessness are a real drag, even if they’ve improved a lot over the Apollo era.

Well, first you gather a team of surveyors and engineers. They map the streets, and identify where turns can be put in and road surfaces raised to bring to a new crossing, thus producing plans of the new roadways. Once that is done, you hire construction workers to follow the plans to build up the new structures.…

Sooner or later you are going to have to come to terms with the contradictory thinking that is present in every single one of your CCS articles Molly.

Only instead of computer monitors it’s a boiling pot of water.

The thing is that Starlink is dealing with and addressing an “entrenched interest” that the major telecoms have created in the U.S.: people outside of cities that can’t get most telecoms to run infrastructure to (despite receiving federal money to do exactly that)... but will find those same telecoms actively blocking…

One of my fondest memories growing up way how every Saturday morning my parents would drive us around doing shopping and errands, and afterwards we’d stop at garage sales we spot along the way. In those olden days before eBay, there were some real treasures to find and trade for pocket change, which always had some…

I am honestly surprised by this. Good decision.

I was the fourth of four kids. My mother had rejoined the workforce as soon as I got into kindergarten, while my father had always worked long hours. But whenever he got home, he would set me on his lap and read to me. Once I was grown, my parents would laugh about how, whenever he did this, he was actually reading the…

How does that go?  “It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than vice versa?” 

I’d be shocked if it didn’t also have auto up/down.

This latest weather event would not have affected KDAL because their only two runways are 13/31, same as the two at KDFW.
