a few 3D models I made that fed into CAM reasonably* well

*whatever you pay your machinist, double it

Ladies and gentlemen, we're so back

[Clark🔩🦅🇺🇲 @Astro_Clark]

if we're getting into galactic domination as a species, we should argue about minimizing the doubling periods of our space factories instead of the launch date

[Sam Altman @sama]

i think we should stop arguing about what year AGI will arrive and start arguing about what year the first self-replicating spaceship will take off

@83dollaroring sir, another horny male leo post has hit the tl

3D printer volume is not a prototyping constraint

nothing quite like perfectly matching a hand built surface with a 3D scanner and cad tools

@yFactr More people should read the book. Some of the best military scifi around, even though it's mostly about a journey through multiple ethics and mortality courses about why western civilization fell and what replaced it. It's 'controversial', but oh so good. Classic Heinlein

@inconcel What's your take on the aerorocket finsim guy

How it feels to return from an 8 day test flight almost 300 days later

The unplanned welcome crew!

Crew-9 had some surprise visitors after splashing down this afternoon.🐬

any1 else up and missing high-quality composite warehouse tubes delivered 12 months late and/or if Mr Curtis remembers?

@__el__toro__ We use an EinScan Pro HD. If you use it right it does produce rather good meshes! Very useful for reverse engineering stuff, almost every project we do involves a scan.

And that's fckn sweet. I'd love to have a project vehicle. Call it the car of theseus

@fmtownsmartey On the contrary, only a baby would want to stay inside his cradle for all eternity

It's pretty comfortable in there, but it'll stunt your growth

[Clark🔩🦅🇺🇲 @Astro_Clark]

@__el__toro__ Wow, that's an incredibly cool project you've got going there!! Quite something.

I've also been working on headlight bezels. They've been a real pain to cad up, but it is getting close... I'll probably post pics of the final results on here.

[Clark🔩🦅🇺🇲 @Astro_Clark]

@__el__toro__ This is a custom job, the models are matched to a 3D scan of the car. The bottom area w/ a mount for custom light boards is steel, gonna weld it in

[Clark🔩🦅🇺🇲 @Astro_Clark]

@__el__toro__ You nailed it haha

"I didn’t have any idea how… profoundly revealing the Hubble observations would be. But I remember thinking, 'This is really going to be special.'” –Dr. Steven A. Hawley

As we get ready to celebrate the NASA's Hubble Space Telescope's 35th anniversary in space, we present a new collection of oral history transcripts sharing the experiences of the leaders, scientists, engineers, and astronauts who contributed to the mission. Check it out! https://t.co/k2iHIFwi7Q
