Welp, now I'll never unsee this. Thanks :)

the daughter throughs out her best direct damage option

Throughs or throws?

I feel like !okbuddyrosalyn@lemmy.world would love this. Imma crosspost it.

Flight 30 in the books for B1067. Still certifying for 40 flights, or even more?

40 is the current goal

ULA obviously did not expect that the x-axis would ever extend past 20.

Deployment of 28 @Starlink satellites confirmed

Nominal liftoff and booster landing.

B1067 has become the first booster to launch 30 missions.

posigrade

According to the KSP forums, posigrade is relative to the velocity of the rocket, while prograde is relative to the rotation of the parent body. Since almost all rockets launch eastward, the two have (somewhat unfortunately) become synonymous.

Interestingly, I can't find a distinct antonym of posigrade. Prograde, retrograde, posigrade... negagrade?

Starbase activities (2025-08-28):

• Aug 27th cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
• Proposed plans for Starbase launch site expansion are released. Upgrades include sites for natural gas liquefaction and liquid methane generation, and a flame trench for Pad 1. (US Army Corps of Engineers, direct PDF link)

McGregor:

• R3.16 rolls back from the test area. (Rhin0)

Flight 6:

• Elon posts buoy video and photos of S31 (not S37) splashdown.

Flight 10:

• Starship Gazer posts 4k launch video.
• SpaceX post buoy video (and drone video?) of S37 landing burn.
• Heatshield discolouration: "The red color is from some metallic test tiles that oxidized and the white is from insulation of areas where we deliberately removed tiles." (Elon 1, Elon 2)
• Heatshield tile attachment: "Worth noting that the heat shield tiles almost entirely stayed attached, so the latest upgrades are looking good!" (Elon)
• Emphasis on "almost": (mcrs987 1, mcrs987 2, Jodo42)

I think I'm a human. Is there a Turing test you wish to give me?

I wonder if it would be possible to 3D print an interface piece similar to the metal one in the blogpost you shared?

@Sunshine@piefed.ca :)

I think that just be how Asian crows do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large-billed_crow

It has a large bill, which is the source of its scientific name macrorhynchos (Ancient Greek for "long-billed") and it is sometimes known by the common name thick-billed crow. It can also be mistaken for a common raven.

Also, we're apparently using þorn again?

push the whole thing down chest and over hips and step out of it

Huh. Does she don it by stepping into it, or does her entire body pass through the bra with each don-doff cycle?

Deconstructed: Alpha Flight 6 launched in April from Vandenberg Space Force Base, and failed when its first-stage booster broke apart milliseconds after stage separation. This created a shockwave that destroyed the engine nozzle extension on the second stage and reducing thrust, seconds before the second stage attained orbital velocity.

Wha’ Happen? The mishap investigation concluded that “plume induced flow separation” caused the failure. The phenomenon occurs when a rocket’s exhaust disrupts airflow around the vehicle in flight. 

In this case, Firefly said the rocket was flying at a higher angle of attack than prior missions, which resulted in the flow separation and created intense heat that broke the first stage apart.

So... "pointy end up" too much?

Fix-it: The company said it would increase the heat shielding on the first stage of the rocket, and fly reduced angles of attack on future missions.

This post is about Firefly Aerospace.

Also just FYI, the field of AI consists of more than just LLMs. I'm not sure the exact techniques CREAM uses, but it is AI in the sense that it is streamlining and automating calculations and decisions which were previously done manually (and tediously) by humans.
