a tagged player had to go back to their flag spot and they had three lives

Interesting! We had a "jail" on each side for tagged players. They could be "freed" by an untagged player from their team, but they had to return to their side before resuming play. Water guns sound like a fun additional element.

Suddenly, my materials become cheaper, but the customer doesn't know.

Now I make something for 15$, sell it to you for 50.

That's only the case if you have a monopoly on production. Someone else could also make it for 15$, and sell it for 49$, forcing you to lower your prices to stay competitive.

What is preventing this with EVs?

Technically, they made many small splashes, as they broke up on reentry. So far, only Ships 29, 30, and 31 (all Block 1) have survived reentry.

Also, I think the alt text is written by the comic's illustrator, which makes it "canon".

Now try with 4, you can't.

Not unless you have an expert :)

Smeagol is a sashimi enjoyer confirmed.

capture the flag with water guns

I've never tried this variant. How does it work? Tag players by squirting them?

"Be not afraid."

How is this a BootTooBig? Where's the "Roses are red..."

Why can they "never be pirates again" after this?

It's a slow cadence, but not nothing.

Initial Space Force orbit data for one payload from the Aug 21 Angara launch showed it in a surprising elliptical orbit. A new orbit dataset shows it in a 330 km circular orbit like the other three payloads from the launch, so as I suggested, the original data was simply spurious.

The Bion-M2 life science mission circularized its orbit on Aug 22 to 356 x 374 km x 96.9 deg.

Space Force is tracking the 9 payloads from today's CZ-8A launch in a 866 x 877 km x 50.0 deg orbit. The CZ-8A upper stage made a small perigee lowering burn to 706 x 874 km at 1950 UTC.

Docking confirmed:

Docking confirmed – Dragon has arrived at the @Space_Station!

Starbase activities (2025-08-25):

• Aug 24th cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
• Cause of Aug 24th scrub: "Ground side liquid oxygen leak needs to be fixed." (Elon)
• Launch site: Overnight, workers replace the LOX hose on the ship quick disconnect. (NSF, LabPadre 1, LabPadre 2, Starship Gazer, ViX)
• Build site: Overnight, a 3-ring barrel section rolls into Megabay 2, likely for a V3 Ship Test tank named S39.1 or TT18. (Knaggs)
• An aft flap is lifted into Megabay 2, presumably for installation on S38. (ViX)

Flight 10 launch attempt, take 2:

• 06:14, 06:30, 06:51: B16 performs three igniter tests. (ViX)
• 10:30: Ship quick disconnect connects to S37. (ViX, Starship Gazer, NSF 1, NSF 2)
• 10:07: Booster offshore support ship has set sail. (LabPadre)
• 11:05: Road is closed. (LabPadre, ViX, BocaRoad)
• 14:30: Pad is clear. (LabPadre, ViX)
• 14:53: Chopsticks open and rise. (LabPadre, ViX, NSF)
• 15:16: Detonation suppression system is tested. (LabPadre, ViX)
• 16:06: Helicopter is on patrol. (ViX)
• 17:10: Tower and launch mount venting. (LabPadre, ViX, NSF)
• 17:53: Starship team poll go for propellant loading. (SpaceX)
• 18:13: Propellant loading begins. (LabPadre)
• 18:21: Frost on ship. (LabPadre, ViX)
• 18:59: Hold at T-40 seconds. (SpaceX, LabPadre)
• Scrub due to anvil clouds, launch attempt converted to wet dress rehearsal. (SpaceX, Elon, NSF)
• Ship and booster detank. (NSF)
• ElonJet BRO to AUS.
• Road closure is in place for a third attempt on Aug 26th. (cityofstarbase, archive)

Scrub for the day, launch attempt will be converted into a wet dress rehearsal.

Clock has resumed, will stop at T-10 seconds.

Propellant loading complete, weather is currently no-go, but they can hold at T-40 seconds if needed.

T-5 minutes. Propellant loading continues, range looks good, weather (anvil clouds) is a watch item.
