Hard disagree. SpaceX has been pushing the envelope into reusable rocketry like nothing that's ever been seen before. They delivered their crew capsule years before Boeing, and Boeing's is still far from operational. If you ask me, the cost-plus contracts given to companies like Boeing are the real problem, and contributed to the SLS delays. That rocket will cost us billions of dollars per launch. Compare that to a few Falcon Heavy launches and see whose budget is overblown. At least with the fixed-price contracts given to SpaceX and Blue Origin, the taxpayer isn't on the hook for any delays or cost overruns. Plus, they're the only ones seriously building human-rated lunar landers. Yeah, I wish our space companies weren't in the hands of egotistical billionaires, but that is the world we live in.
One party favors RCV much more than the other. I know who I'm voting for.
A gaurd at every ballot box might start being necessary...

Tesla's NACS charging standard is now the charging standard for most car companies operating in the USA.
It's uncomfortable to walk up stairs and uphill when my phone is in my front pocket. Plus the movement to get it out from my back pocket is so much swifter.
How do we know that's his phone and not one belonging to one of those youtubers on the plane?
I'd like someone else as NASA admin tbh... We need to axe the SLS.
It's easier to sell yourself as a scientist than a failed military leader
The tax will burden the end consumer the most - perhaps that's what's need to end especially polluting buying habits: charge the true cost.
Bro, the US Military uses MS. Most institutions in the west do. They'll be just fine.
Yeah me too! (BTW Lloyd Austin, where's my BlueMAGA check?)

Precision expects its minimally invasive brain implant to hit the market next year.

Hey, I'm tired of manually setting the brightness on my monitors every morning and evening. Is there a DDC/CI program out there that I can setup to change the brightness automatically at set time points?
This LEGO STAR WARS BD-1 statue has been tricked out and come alive! With various gadgets, I’ve taught BD-1 to beep and chirp (and, most importantly, turn its lights on) when someone is detected nearby. This is done via a motion sensor attached to BD-1’s left foot. Everything is controlled by an Arduino Nano, and its code lets BD-1 know when to beep so it doesn’t become an annoyance! This can also be set manually via a mute button. But if it’s been a good droid, you can pet it, as it reacts to the outputs of two capacitive touch sensors.
The Adruino is connected to a DFMini MP3-Player, which can play sound files loaded onto an onboard MicroSD card. These soundfiles have been meticulously extracted from the STAR WARS: JEDI: FALLEN ORDER game files. This was only possible thanks to the many hours of volunteer work that has gone into identifying the files.
You can see the code on my github.
Resources used:
- JFO Audio Files Database
- JFO File Extraction Guide
- ChatGPT and Claude 2
Note: I have no affiliation with STAR WARS, Lucasfilm, Disney or LEGO. This project is just for fun, serves no commercial purpose and falls under fair use doctrine. The sound files were extracted from my copy of the game.
The plan involves two launches, one for the lunar lander and one for the crew.
Gunship's newest song, 'Monster in Paradise'. I think it's pretty cool!
Hey,
I'm not sure if this kind of post fits this community or not, but I'll give it a go. Is there a possibility we could add a bot which creates music? I'd be down to listen to some AI tunes during work, if we could find a fitting model. I have no idea if this is already a thing or not, I'm just sharing my thoughts.
