@kjmathew@cb_doge@grok Might also allow much faster x/y laser scan and acquire time if they can get radio feedback of the received signal strength directly from the receiving sat. They often do avoidance maneuvers and would have to reaquire laser links each time.
@eevblog You forgot the option of AI/quantum breaking the public private key system and money starting to randomly disappear from people accounts
That would tank it to zero really fast
@shoe0nhead@hankhanknhank@KyleKulinski You have your shower head set way to high. The water is supposed to hit you below your face when looking at the head. You bend down into the water when you want to wash your head/hair
@shoe0nhead@KyleKulinski Also the pressure of your hot water changes the arc the water takes, so that is a factor too.
So many people get confused by the 'face the shower head' thing, but they are comparing it to if 'they' faced the shower head. Which is not a fair comparison.
@shoe0nhead@KyleKulinski It's very dependent on the height you have the shower head setup. If you have the shower head height set so it blasts you in the face when you look at it then the idea 50% of people facing the head seems stupid.
@surplussoft@cb_doge Rockets, just like skyscrapers, are not designed to fall over. It's just that, in this case, it doesn't matter if it falls over because the goal is not to "have" a rocket. The goal is to get the data needed to improve the 10 other rockets that are in the process of being produced
@TitaniasIII@DJSnM Na, it's normal to have some issues the first time you test new hardware designs. It looks more like a procedural/timing issue than a hardware problem. Just need to adjust the flight software, and now that they have data on how this separation system works they can do that.
@DJSnM There's not much you can do to stop engines exploding if they ingest gas bubbles when expecting to get liquid. Gas is too compressible vs liquid.
@DJSnM I had that after playing portal. My brain would instantly find ways to solve real life problems with portals before I realized it's real life and I don't have a portal gun
