I like how the Moravian Church is only .3% Czech today. If you'd only read about Hussitism in a historical context you wouldn't expect it to be majority Tanzanian.
Co víc můžeme udělat pro asimilaci paní Demetrashvili, aby bylo na důchody?
Jinak stále platí, že masová migrace = nižší porodnost. Zbývající mladí lidé budou soutěžit omezené zdroje na trhu s bydlením i práce s nově příchozími.
Existuje za tím ekonomický kalkul, kdy je importovaná pracovní síla z principu levnější, než podpora dětí.
🚨 SPACEX JUST GOT FAA APPROVAL TO TEST ITS NEW “STARFALL” CAPSULES.
These are not regular reentry vehicles.
SpaceX’s new circular Starfall capsules are designed to bring up to 1,000 kg of payload back from orbit safely, repeatedly, and at scale.
They can launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship, perform in-space manufacturing, then reenter and splash down in the Pacific for rapid recovery.
Why this matters:
• Enables true commercial in-space manufacturing (microgravity + vacuum) that can be returned to Earth
• Could become a “proliferated successor” to the ISS for self-sustaining space industry
• Opens the door to rapid point-to-point cargo delivery from orbit to anywhere on Earth
• Directly competes with companies like Varda that have been flying similar missions on SpaceX rockets
The deeper implication is massive:
We are moving from “occasional experiments in space” to routine manufacturing and logistics in orbit.
If Starfall works at scale, companies could build factories in space, produce high-value materials that can’t be made on Earth, and ship them back down regularly all without needing a full space station.
This is one of the clearest steps yet toward a real, self-sustaining commercial space economy.
What do you think will in-space manufacturing finally become a serious industry, or is this still too early?

Especially including the regime anti-racists who enabled all of it.

Just learned about the concept of a “telescope ranch” in Texas.
People pay to have their $10,000+ telescope rigs set up in the middle of TX to avoid light pollution.
Every night the roof rolls back off the warehouses.
Then you can remote in to your telescope and use it from anywhere in the world.

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.

The main failure of flight test 12 is actually a sign of how insanely powerful the Raptor 3 engine is.
During "most engine cutoff," that extra power from the booster and the upperstage engines during the hotstage separation pushed the booster to flip sideways at 44 degrees per second, or 0.77 rads/s. Nominally, it should flip up instead of sideways more slowly.
That rotation was WAY too fast in the wrong direction with added axial rotation, causing an estimated 2.2 g outward force at the nose of the booster, causing massive sloshing for the propellant. That caused gas ingestion, engine explosion, and cascading failure for the boostback. This led the booster to an uncontrolled fall at terminal velocity.
I think for the next flight, they are going to have to change the gimbal profile for the MECO to reduce rotation and counteract the upperstage engine push, increase the coast time to allow propellant to settle, and stagger the relight more slowly with 2 engines per 3-4 seconds or so.
This won't need many hardware changes, mostly software changes, so the next launch will probably be sooner than expected... classic too much of a good thing problem.
