Luke Plapp about Tour de Romandie:
“It was just ridiculous, sort of the difference they were making last week. I mean, when the break established itself, the UAE boys would control, keep the break pretty in check. You had one or two UAE boys chase in a break, and they were managing to keep it pretty similar.”
“And then the motorbikes came in front of our bunch, and the speed was just unbelievable in the peloton. We were just lined out sprinting out of every corner, and the time gaps just raced down. It was probably the most effect I’ve ever seen motorbikes have on a bike race.”
“There were some stages where it was just a bit of a joke how fast we were going and how much the motorbikes influenced it.”
Day 069, orbit 1071 — The gyroscope, key to maintaining a spacecraft attitude in space 🌀
A spacecraft’s attitude is the direction it is pointing in space – crucial information for correctly aligning its antennas, solar panels, and cameras. To stay stable and maintain its attitude, the Station relies on four Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs), large spinning wheels that use angular momentum to keep it properly oriented.
