@julia_bergeron Thank you for the updates!

Living 100m from a freight line, I did the only reasonable thing: pointed an RTL-SDR at the tracks and built traintap, a Linux tool that decodes End-of-Train telemetry from passing trains into a live dashboard. Open source, mostly written by Claude Code.

One more Falcon 9 launch before we left town in a hazy morning. Beautiful rumble today, seems louder than other days, but maybe that's just my excitement about our next visit. Had to pay a visit to Falcon 9 at KSC too. Never gets old.

I wonder what will roll out of those big tall vertical doors? 😉

[Patrick van Staveren @trickv]

No better TV to watch this on than in the Rocket Garden at KSC

B1090 back in port (grid fins down now @dpoddolphinpro ) and fairings too!

[Patrick van Staveren @trickv]

Gigabay on the bus driveby too (a week ago, they've already done more to it!)

Great pictures of LC-39A Starship launch tower as seen from the newly-redone gantry about a week ago. Stunning view!

@julia_bergeron @NASASpaceflight Really? OK! Thanks :)

Rolling up Courtenay Parkway - whose rocket is this I wonder?

Added a weather-balloon decoder to radio firmware in ~15 min with Claude Code — one-handed, holding a baby. What struck me isn't that AI wrote the code. It's that it absorbed the friction.

Welcome back B1085. Nice to see you again!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

[Patrick van Staveren @trickv]

Never felt anything like that. "No, It's Necessary" just exploded during a static fire test. My sky turned orange, I heard a brief rumble, and then the pressure wave was intense. @blueorigin I hope everyone is safe, and you find your way back to flight soon. It's a sad day.

"It's not possible"
"No, it's necessary"

@xdNiBoR https://t.co/tExrW9SSYk showed me what’s possible with a 360° camera in this video: https://t.co/95KyiWotlm

Falcon 9 B1078 meet New Glenn "No, It's Necessary"

[Patrick van Staveren @trickv]

A short little story about an unplanned experience with an AI agent makes a useful point:

Keep on learning!

Anyone else found that Claude Code /ultraplan is ultrarubbish? I've been trying to use it this evening for the first real time in anger, seeing glimmers of hope, and nothing but errors - all to find that all that planning we just did is now lost "this session has been archived"
