our future is in space

@HalcyonHypnotic Blue will have become a bunch of former SpaceX interns in a trench coat.

@Robotbeat Craziness is already happening. One company has over 10k birds in LEO.

Next 20 years are gonna be wild.

I think solving gigantic boosters that float themselves out to sea and ballast to point upwards will eventually happen. With any luck.

Let's face it guys. Sea dragon is still pounding all the competition when it comes to big paper rockets.

Why did this post get people so mad? New Glenn 9x4’s fairing is huge compared to Starship currently.

Sure, V4 of Starship is planned but we have no idea what that would look like, nor how payloads other than Starlink would look and be deployed from it.

@llcrabbie @jaiyagill Inversion table might help for a minute.

@jaiyagill Elon's around 6'2". This was always nice as a fellow 6'2" person. I could usually fit in the dragon / tesla products and feel like I wasn't oversized.

Anthropometry driven design is so much better than just playing averages.

@WHarper10 The memes evolved a lot. So much better than the life-size Justin Bieber that they'd put in whoever broke the builds desk.

[Kyle Cothern @risknc]

@WHarper10 Reminds me of dumpy the dump truck we were gonna use to pick up the rockets that landed on land.

@profplum99 Robots in a box look too much like a vending machine.

[Kyle Cothern @risknc]

@profplum99 Americans don't like vending machine food.

Gotta figure out when the ROI break even is for roasting in house at the aerospace startup.

@mhaeberli Also always use protection kids.

In hardware analysis paralysis is death.

Build, test, repeat.

“We’ve done the analysis, reusable rockets aren’t economic.”

SpaceX makes reusable rockets economic.

“We’ve done the analysis satellite internet isn’t economic. The antenna alone is tens of thousands of dollars. The cost to manage a constellation that size, the radiation, the space hardened solar cost…”

Satellite internet appears to be a very good business with antennas in the $100 range.

“We’ve done the analysis, orbital data centers aren’t economic. The radiators, launch costs, the radiation, the solar…”

You are here.

@mhaeberli Once it's in space

[Kyle Cothern @risknc]

Autonomously headed towards the gundo for lunch.

It's come a long way in 15 years. Now I'm inside the car lol.

someone made a fork of opencode that routes through the unsecured ai endpoints from chipotle
