@Danbearpig2@imPenny2x Even when you're miles away and it's "quiet" (relatively), you can still hear the clipping because it distorted the soundwave at the source. It's really cool to hear!
@NixxBlackwood @Teslaconomics Sure! The Van Allen Belt is a belt (Or, more accurately, are belts, plural) orbiting the earth.
Being 'belt' and not 'shell', it can be avoided. The Apollo trips skirted the main belt and avoided the heavy radiation, rapidly traversed the low-radiation part they did go through.
@Erdayastronaut@bscholl@CrusoeAI My biggest concern with Boom wasn't their ability to execute, it was their ability to maintain funding until they executed. If they can self-fund their development with this revenue, I feel like they're basically guaranteed to pull it off! Congrats, @bscholl and @boomsupersonic!
