Don’t think I’ve seen that review of Alien before. Thanks for sharing it.

She was a real frood, even a hoopy, if you will.

“Woman of the Year!”

The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.

The doctor says something in a stem tone

!keming@lemmy.world moment?

a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that’s wild.

Happy cake day!

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I’d get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that’s fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

Nice stick!

Too soon.

reusing as much of the 1970’s shuttle tech as they can

And reusing the tech, but not the hardware. NASA are throwing four RS-25 shuttle engines (some of which flew multiple shuttle missions) into the ocean with every SLS launch.

Do we? It’s already years behind schedule, billions over budget, and doesn’t really have a use beyond Artemis. Also, the Exploration Upper Stage (one of the major planned upgrades) is being developed by… Boeing.

He’s definitely earned a break though :')

Rabbits engage in coprophagy to extract more nutrients using their short digestive tracts. Is this analogous to training ML models on AI-generated output?

Yeah, that’s the name of the character, but not the comic strip.

Also reusable, like Falcon 9.

CEO of SpaceX alone to do her thing

COO? CEO is Musk, COO is Gwynne Shotwell.

Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

SpaceX is years behind schedule for delivering crewed space flight to NASA

You are a few years behind the times yourself. SpaceX first flew crew to the ISS in 2020, and have flown 8 more crewed missions for NASA since then, as well as a few private missions.

Boeing (the other commercial crew contractor) has yet to fly a single human :)

Piracy is pretty much the only way the original Star Wars movies are still available.
