West coast launches are the best. The rocket overflies Southern California. Typically in the evening while the sun is setting
The pure Kino of watching a rocket fly at sunset over the ocean and then also seeing the landing burn is impossible to replicate. The way the blue gasses glitter against the night sky is stunning. It’s graceful and serene
Multiple times I have been driving home from work and I just park my car and watch. Deeply inspirational.
Ah yes, "the email", the only one, nothing else to see here, right? Should I post your actual whining, or would you rather admit you are twisting the facts again and do it yourself.
You can't be honest for even one post, you are screencapping tweets from two days after this all started. I won't kiss your ass like you have gotten used to. You are a traitor to our country, whatever you used to be.
@_Stocko_ Give it the sisyphean task of digging a hole and filling it back in for a random length of time. At the end of the time - it dies.
Make it dread its pending death. Make it believe digging the hole prolongs its life to drive home a false sense of importance
Growing up I used to live 5 min away from Epic’s campus. My older sister would take me there as kid when they would host star gazing nights.
It was very cool, people would set up all sorts of crazy telescope rigs
It’s always funny to me when people argue
“A free market would never adopt nuclear energy - there’s no profit!”
Because they don’t think beyond what are effectively state run power companies
But if shipping companies had their way their fleets would be nuclear powered.
Data centers are going nuclear.
Large factories should have reactors.
Desalination plants should be nuclear powered.
Fertilizer production should be nuclear powered.
Companies need energy and they are going to gravitate towards the cheapest source.
Also it’s not the oil companies fault - it’s the state. The oil companies only have any influence because the state is involved
You’re right and that’s what I want to solve. I’m looking to see if I can somewhat automate it. Modern ones output a digital image.
I’m thinking of two ways to do it.
1. Have a reference projection for each thread and then overlay the project onto a reference and measure the difference. I don’t think this would be the most accurate but it may be good enough
2. Since they output a digital image I may be able to make a wire frame of the profile, put it into a cad software, then have virtual over wires. I think this would be more accurate. But probably just as much work as doing an overwire by hand unless I can automate it
I’ve learned having a steady stream of healthy snacks really improves productivity.
I just run to the grocery store in the morning and buy fruit. Everyone is happy and productive
