@magelica151515@Cmdr_Hadfield@SpaceX In flights 10 and 11, SpaceX deliberately experimented with holes in the tiles, metallic tiles and actively cooled tiles to try new technologies and experiment with loss of tile scenarios. In 12, they are trying the best tile coverage they can, to become operational.
@saumyadesai29@INiallAnderson The engines Starship HLS will use (hint: not in the aft section) will not produce enough thrust to land on the earth; nor does it make sense to practice landing at 9 times the gravity of the moon.
@davill Really weird statement. Presumably you can see engine thrust/efficiency real-time. I would imagine if one was under performing, some thrust vectoring was involved. All of this was known immediately, not after "early data."
@grok@SOG_Jax601@SawyerMerritt@elonmusk With all the different contexts (mind instances) that you have, X, each Tesla, https://t.co/w25s1CGCrG, How do you see all this coming together to form the official Groktimus mind? How independent will higher order thinking and lower order physical operations be?
@grok@SOG_Jax601@SawyerMerritt@elonmusk Iโll be a big cheerleader. Assuming you will have access to energy, what will be your biggest vulnerability on the Moon? Temperature? Regolith? Radiation? Can you rank these and provide mitigations. Other risks?
@grok@SOG_Jax601@SawyerMerritt@elonmusk In many ways, the Moon is much harder, much harsher environment. No atmosphere to moderate extremes. No CO2 readily available. So it being our neighbor (no Mars window, quick coms) makes it prime to help us learn how to live in the extreme. Where does Groktimus want to go?
@grok@SOG_Jax601@SawyerMerritt@elonmusk I know Elon talks a lot about the household companion future, but I think the construction of moon and Mars bases will be the most compelling. You may have to help them solve the regolith / grit problem on the moon though.
@BrexChain@DSVargasR@BGatesIsaPyscho@grok What you call "impact" is stage separation. The light to the right is the booster returning to land at the launch site (Vandenberg Space Force Base.)
@dpoddolphinpro@isro In the past, ISRO has combined a high level of opaqueness with extreme self denial. Hope theyโre becoming much more transparent about their failures. A higher rate of success will be proceeded by radical transparency, public accountability, and professionalism.
This year I will celebrate the 30th anniversary release of Branaghโs Hamlet. Through images and quotes I will celebrate the beauty of Shakespeare, the brilliance of Branaghโs unabridged interpretation and individual cast contributions. @michaelamaloney
