How to get the Excitable Slime Pet in WoW Forever

1. Talk to Boyle and buy the Nutritious Slime Slude, he is located in The Apothecarium South West of Undercity

2. Make a /dance Macro ( or just spam /dance)

3. Jump into the green water and find the Excitable Slime

4. Spam dance to him

5. He will react to you eventually and give you a quest, just give him the Nutritious Slime Slude that you bought from Boyle.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

It would suck if spaceX had to remove and reapply the tiles on Starship after every flight. Last time we watched them do that it took 2 weeks.
That would mean Starship reflight would *only* be 4 times faster than the Space Shuttle.

Hot staging

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

WHAT??????

Raptor relight looks crazy AF!!!!!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship soared on the second flight of the next generation, deploying advanced Starlink satellites for the first time and providing priceless data as it travelled through air, space, and sea → https://t.co/Rp7VwBzpWx

What a tracking view!!!! Thats incredible

Excited to announce we flew our second mission, MicroBrew-2, on @SpaceX's Starfall Demo mission yesterday!

This launch carried a payload called the Brewery Archive Space Exposure Demonstrator which held dozens of different strains of brewing yeasts, distiller’s yeasts, and wine yeasts from around the world. (Hint: we miiiight be announcing some insanely cool new products soon...👀) We also included seeds from a bunch of native Texas plants, including Bluebonnets! Next we'll analyze the yeast strains and seeds to see how they adapted to the spaceflight environment.

This was the successor to our MicroBrew-1 and OASIS missions that were performed on the International Space Station last year. In MicroBrew-1, an astronaut combined wort and yeast (the same two ingredients using in brewing beer) so we could study alcohol fermentation in microgravity. The OASIS experiment successfully grew the first-ever crops in soil in space. Humanity is still in the early days of orbital manufacturing but we aim to stay at the forefront of it!

Huge shoutout to the SpaceX team for the incredible opportunity to fly on a new vehicle. And we have some more exciting announcements coming up related to this mission so stay tuned!

Trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing the ignition sequence for all 33 of B19's Raptor 3's.

Much tighter and less staggered than Version 1/2 boosters. Good grief.

SpaceX has just released a massive new list of changes in Starship V3, which is now scheduled to launch on May 19th:

Super Heavy V3 Changes
Grid Fin Redesign:
• Reduced from 4 fins to 3
• Each fin is now: 50% larger, stronger, repositioned for better catching/lifting
• Lowered on booster to reduce heat exposure during hot staging
• Fin hardware moved inside fuel tank for protection

Integrated Hot Stage:
• Removes the old disposable interstage shield
• Booster dome now directly exposed to upper-stage engine ignition
• Tank pressure + steel shielding protect structure
• Interstage actuators retract after separation for protection

New Fuel Transfer System:
• Massive redesign of fuel transfer tube
• Roughly the size of a Falcon 9 first stage
• Allows: simultaneous startup of all 33 Raptors, faster and more reliable flip maneuvers

Engine Bay / Thermal Protection Changes:
• Engine shrouds removed entirely
• New shielding added between engines
• Propulsion + avionics more tightly integrated
• CO₂ fire suppression system removed
• Simpler and lighter aft section

Propellant Loading Improvements:
• Moved from 1 quick disconnect to 2 separate systems
• Adds redundancy
• Reduces complexity of pad interfaces

Starship V3 Changes
Completely Redesigned Propulsion System:
• Clean-sheet redesign
• Supports: new Raptor startup method, larger propellant volume and improved reaction control system
• Reduces trapped/leaked propellant risk

Aft Section Simplification:
• Fluid + electrical systems rerouted
• Engine shrouds deleted
• Large aft cavity removed

Flap Actuation Upgrade:
• Changed from: 2 actuators per flap to 1 actuator with 3 motors
• Improves:, redundancy, mass efficiency, cost

Faster Starlink Deployment:
• Upgraded PEZ dispenser
• Faster satellite deployment speeds

Long-Duration Spaceflight Capability:
• New systems added for: long orbital coasts, orbital refueling, cryogenic fluid management, vacuum, insulated header systems and high-voltage cryogenic recirculation

Ship-to-Ship Docking + Refueling:
• Added 4 docking drogues
• Added propellant transfer connections
• Directly supports in-space refueling architecture

Avionics Upgrades
Massive Electrical System Upgrade:
• ~60 custom avionics units
• Batteries/inverters/high-voltage systems integrated together
• ~9 MW peak power capability

Better Navigation + Redundancy:
• New multi-sensor navigation system
• Designed for precision autonomous flight

Propellant Monitoring in Space:
• New RF sensors measure propellant levels in microgravity
• Important for orbital refueling missions

Camera + Connectivity Upgrades:
• ~50 onboard camera views
• 480 Mbps Starlink connectivity onboard
• Low-latency redundant communications

Raptor 3 Engine Changes
Higher Thrust:
• Sea-level Raptors:
• Increased from:
230 tf → 250 tf
507k lbf → 551k lbf

Vacuum Raptors:
Increased from:
258 tf → 275 tf
568k lbf → 606k lbf

Lower Mass:
• Sea-level engine mass reduced: 1630 kg → 1525 kg

Simpler Design:
• Sensors/controllers integrated into engine body
• Removes need for engine shrouds
• New ignition system for all variants
• Huge Vehicle-Level Weight Savings
• ~1 ton saved per engine across vehicle systems

Launch Pad 2 Upgrades (Starbase)
Faster Propellant Loading:
• Larger propellant farm
• More pumps
• Faster fueling operations

Chopstick Improvements:
• Shorter arms for faster movement
• Switched from hydraulic → electromechanical actuators

SpaceX: "Together, these new elements are designed to enable a step-change in Starship capabilities and aim to unlock the vehicle’s core functions, including full and rapid reuse, in-space propellant transfer, deployment of Starlink satellites and orbital data centers, and the ability to send people and cargo to the Moon and Mars."

This is going to be an epic flight! 🚀

@kayla_wolfe Those who say that are just jelly. Gotta respect the hustle. Hope you're well btw.

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

@kayla_wolfe I feel your pain. The phone camera never does it justice

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

I have been loving #StarCitizen Alpha 3.10.1. Just wanted to give a big shoutout to @RobertsSpaceInd @CloudImperium for all the great work and progress being made. Thank you for the best damn games in the verse. https://t.co/dknlp6HHjz

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

@reksmore Sea of Thieves is a lot of fun. Thats a big portion of what I stream, and you'll find the content creator community for the game is filled with amazing and helpful people.

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

@kiralee_twitch @SeaOfThieves Ashen Winds broke my in game voice comms as well

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

She's a rolling now boys!!!

[Inkstar714 @Inkstar714]

Sunday Funday with smoked pork butt and an ice cold beer. Hope everyone is doing well.
