Regardless of politics, NASA's money are always appreciated.

Any vessel has a limited amount of fuel, calculated for the particular mission and target orbit, just several hundreds of m/s for all. Nauka was able to keep running the show just because its fuel tanks were oversized from the ship pov, due to its historical ancestry. No problem, Roscosmos can lease Angara. Which got known after the accidents due to raised attention to this particular plane. Who knows what have many others.

Something auxilliary to fill the pause before the release. Some KerbalEdu 2 or so.

Shouldn't you first release your moose and let it grazing?

Young people know about the brooms much more than you think.

No, but can clearly see in it without night goggles and hear weak sounds. I wish I could fast-travel like vampires do.

Of course. I was a friend and a meat provider for the survived (after my previous visit) members (actually the only memberess stayed alive, because too beautiful to harm) of Andale family, helped to sell the Little Lamplight little inhabitants (and would do that again, cuz they are jerks) and Tenpenny Tower customers. Let alone the countless devastations of the latter and many jolly tricks played on the Megaton inhabitants with help of pyrotechnics. Once I had blown up Megaton, and once helped the ghouls to capture the Tenpenny Tower, just to watch what happens then. Though, the result looked disgusting, as I always kill the ghouls from humanism misery pure true-human racism. So, I reverted and never did it again. Just many times made deadly trips for Mr.Tenpenny on his balcony, usually ended with his flight towards his guards standing on the ground. (Of course to those of them who could stand after a grenade stealthed into their pocket). I many times attacked the raiders who were peacefully passing by due to my stealth skills (because I prefer to cowardly hide and sneak, sniping the NPC with as long shot as possible, to run away if they see.) The harmed fauna was just countless. Do you think, I feel guilty? No. Irl those mutants would be eaten by wolves. Why do the Fallout wolf-dogs attack armed people instead of helpless mutants? And why this all?! I could just use ~tgm/tcl, and everyone would stay alive. This bad, cruel world... Are the Legion and the Casadors absolutely stupid and excessive in Fallout New Vegas?

In September they will be showing the actress casting and training on Russian TV. So, Musk can calmly watch it and then visit Baikonur.

It gloriously succeeded the testing of everything but docking, but the docking was not failed, it was not attempted. The thing which failed is the clock, and if there was a crew onboard, they would just click with a finger or ignite manually. It was a maiden flight of the ship, so its main goal was to deliver the imaginary humans here and back alive. The IDSS/APAS docking adaptor and Tridar approaching system have been tested many times, so if it had docked, this just proove that they successfully worked once again. Why should they be in hurry? The fact, that they found them before the launch, inspires. You probably confused it with Starship. Starliner is a traditional, Apollo-like capsule ship. It has flown once and there is no reason why shouldn't again. 737 MAX has 2 accidents per 650 000 flights performed. It's even not a statistics.

But happily an improperly closed parachute box opened, and the chute pulled it for 20 degrees back before tearing off.

What if the particle count is negative? Let's take -1 particle of normal mass. What gravitational field will it cause?

Hehe. sqrt(-1) = i What's a gravitational radius of a negative mass? An imaginary space? A time? I mean, what's the speed/momentum/energy of that? Will a particle orbiting around the negative mass black hole move in time?

That was a planned route. The goal was to bring back the crew alive. Yes, the route stayed incomplete, but the main capability was proven. Starliner just missed the train and returned home. It was not an unsuccessful docking, it was a missed attempt. And the docking system is standard, so its additional testing was not critical.

Probably, but the goals and their existence stay unknown, and a process with unknown aim is undistinguishable from a process with no aim. And maybe vice versa, who knows. And SpaceX just got/not got the order to start designing, while two others have only mockups. 2021 is ending. With - would be faster. For China. Nucleon/Zeus and Draco are nuclear, and they are based on designs being tested for years. Both are needed for lunar cargo support. Reusability means not that much when you are sending a hundred of tonnes to the Moon by a nuke tug. And SLS is purposed for the recon phase of the lunar expansion, it isn't needed in hundreds. So, it's a getting everything possible from the very good engine before the new epoch will require and bring more advanced technical solutions available to that date.

Those Tesla androids + brooms remind me of the now-old story.

Not trapping, but tlorring. SpaceX failed such obvious PR step like a movie. Just a friendly Holliwoodian kick.

That's what they call "Space Race". There is only one Shackleton crater at the South Pole. Like everyone does. 2030+. They haven't hid the drill on Soyuz - and see what happened. Also, to be sure that the neighbor's module won't crash the whole assembly done for decades, and a short circuit in it won't turn the whole wireworks into fireworks, this module should be studied rivet-by-rivet by all participants of the station. At this point China has redone the early 1970s spaceflights of Soyuz/Salyut and Luna/Lunokhod landing. It was 50 years ago. US/EU had Apollo, Skylab, Spacelab, Shuttle, KH-11 and Voyager (long-term space electronics). SU had Mir, Buran, and nukesats like the one landed on Canada. Everyone needed each other and had something significant to share as ISS. Now they have something to share in the new lunar race. SLS is a wise reusage of the existing Shuttle ancestry, maybe not done in the best way. And a great step in that direction would be sharing the lantanoid production which is concentrated in China, and next probably on the Moon. So, as the Chinese part is available for sharing right now, NASA should make steps to make the lunar deposits aavailable, too. Because why make China take care of everything, it's busy enough.

True hackers despise the proprietary Excel. Have you tried table formatting in the free Open/Libre Office? They had... The regional team losing the weekly competition, donates.

"Siri... Are you sure this is the Mars we were looking for? I just wanted a candy."

Something should buzz. Why Robocop never lubricated his mechanisms, so they could hear his servo buzzing from a mile?

Alternatively granted. You realize that a Sriracha Sauce which you can't find by its smell is not a real Sriracha, so you purchase another manufacturer's bottle. No, it was (display + UOS) = "the server" from Fallout, so it's single. But anyway. Now I wish for the UOS applications for that.

Somebody has brought a bed and put it on the flat top. A flatbed hill.

Some stuff for quidditch.

Made for each other. Literally.

When I was reading the NASA forum to understand, what's the Boeing proposal of a docking adaptor, they explained (to each other) why everything is so long and so expensive. Every change in design or a part replacement requires to repeat a whole sequence of examinations and expertises for safety and coordination. A whole lot of people redo their calculations and reports to collect all required signs. This takes time. The worktime. The worktime is payed. The payment needs money. The money comes from funding. The funding is scheduled. The schedule means everyone's time. The worktime. The worktime is payed. The whole personnel worktime. The payment needs money... So, while in 1930s two engineers would just unmount passive hooks from a docking port to make it lighter, and nobody cared, now this change takes a lot of worktime and money for the collateral administrative work. And this makes everything long and expensive. Just the human life was cheaper, because humans were reproducing like rabbits. And now they don't, so the life costs much. M4 replaced M1 because now a soldier costs more than his rifle.
