@SpaceInMiBrain @SpoxSpace On Apollo, the LM was flown horizontally as you described with the astronauts on their backs and the windows facing away from the moon for most of the descent until final landing burn when the ship pitched round to vertical to land. Starship HLS will probably be similar.

@blizzard861 @ApexOutlander @Rainmaker1973 The real difference in why it looks so much more challenging is that NASA has 5% of the US federal budget in the 60s. Now it's only 0.5%

@chinky365251453 @CuriosityonX Yes it can? Venus rotates slower on its own axis then it takes to make one full orbit of the Sun. A Venus day is shorter than a Venus year.

@TiceColin @NightSkyToday Because it's the first time humans have been past Earth orbit in 58 years? And this is a test flight not just for visiting the Moon but actual colonisation of the Moon and humans on Mars?

@hirohito4th @PenteanoO @F1BigData @thomasmaheronf1 With front wheel regen, enough battery can be recharged for acceleration up to top speed without LICO and super clipping so it doesn't matter if the battery runs out as the ICE is enough once up to speed. We don't need bigger batteries.

@hirohito4th @PenteanoO @F1BigData @thomasmaheronf1 Overtake mode isn't extra power it's just an extra half a megajoule of deployment available for the next lap

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@hirohito4th @PenteanoO @F1BigData @thomasmaheronf1 Overtake mode isn't an extra 350kW what are you on about. Overtake gives you an extra half a megajoule a lap of deployment so if all cars had the regen then they'd all have similar deployment, cars with overtake would just have a little more time with it.

@ggrrrha @PeekPerfomance @F1BigData @thomasmaheronf1 Road relevance doesn't mean that manufacturers will use F1 parts in their cars. But F1 is the pinnacle of R&D for manufacturers and they want that R&D to translate into their road cars + the marketing relevance to their road cars is just as important to them.

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@hirohito4th @PenteanoO @F1BigData @thomasmaheronf1 If the braking regen was increased then the super clipping and LICO wouldn't be needed. The ICE alone without super clipping has enough power even without the battery at the end of them. It's only because of the recharge they slow down

@yeahnahm8te @TheVocalHero @Dreamnesia1 @Mal_fkn_Boer @MattP1Gallagher A change in engines will take years. Plus, the teams don't want engines without batteries. It's the only reason Audi and Ford are in the sport now

@san_cryptic @Al3474701040306 @og_tadi @F1 @pirellisport I'm not seeing the issue with lighter and less draggy. Actually, I think the cars should be even lighter and even less draggy

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@Al3474701040306 @og_tadi @F1 @pirellisport I never said I was okay with that... But that's a whole separate issue to the cars being faster or slower than last year.

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@SensSteadySteve @F1_driven I mean whilst I agree with the sentiment, the 'sudden' drop is actually really only the equivalent of 70 mph to 60 mph

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@og_tadi @F1 @pirellisport Oh my god you people are so stupid. The only fair comparison is 2022 as 2025 was the 4th year of development of the old cars. In 2022, Verstappen's pole time was 1:29.304. The engine regs need some work but these cars are not slow.

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@john_shako54250 @versatancore This is a stupid comparison because the 2025 cars had 4 seasons of development. The fair comparison is 2026 to 2022. Also these cars are still significantly faster than the 2014 cars

@john_shako54250 @moonystappen Fuel levels were extremely confidential to teams in the refueling era but the difference between high and low fuel could be over a second a lap so you could tell who was where.

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@john_shako54250 @moonystappen F1 has always been resource management and to say otherwise is silly. https://t.co/fwmXqJWIsh

Dean I appreciate your passion but we lifted and coasted back in the fearsome 80’s turbo days. And pretty much constantly in Sportscar racing at Le Mans and suchlike. Sometimes regulations determine total fuel use, but in any case you never want to carry excess fuel through a race, it’s guaranteed to slow you down. Through the eras the great champions had to manage and protect engines, tyres, brakes, clutch, gearbox, suspension, driveshafts, fuel load, and now battery charge. It’s all part of the challenge, the best simply have a greater capacity to manage those challenges whilst carrying winning speed.

[Dan Rambaldi @DanRambaldi]

@poszloooo @DreHarrison101 Management has been F1 for decades? Could change to

Think twice before you push because you might use your tires, or end up having to refuel earlier than expected in the 90s/00s, or worries about reliability in the 80s.

@KnucklesNp26684 @bmay Hate to break it to you but all your ID details are ALREADY online. You can already see digital copies of your driving licence, national insurance number, PAYE etc on the Gov website. It's literally just a phone app version of what the Government already has online.
