I wonder if they'd attempt those last two tubes after all the others have been filled.

Because it's a vastly less deadly place to be.

Working on a 3x5x7 Rubik's cube design.

Nothing on the Moon is going to be limited by light pollution, at least.

If Titan looks bright, on a clear winter night it's worth going for Rhea, Dione, and Tethys too. You probably won't be able to make out any detail, but Neptune's not too hard to find right now and is about as bright as Titan, and Uranus is close to the Pleiades. Also, after the Full moon look for Reinier Gamma, it's a squid-shaped bright spot caused by a magnetic anomaly, not a mountain or crater. It's flat and doesn't cast any shadows. There are also some volcanoes and lava flows that can be seen when the phase is just right...

KSP 2 Episode 1

Don't refresh this page.

The ultimate irony.

I can't WAIT to see one of these things come back to Earth filled to the brim with well-packaged, organized and labeled lunar rocks.

Yeah, I think that part gets clamped to the transporter-erector and contains the release mechanism for the rocket itself.

I'm hoping to be doing the real thing by the time any decent successor comes out.

I find it interesting that PD was less than thrilled by the lack of art, and then KSP2 ended up being all art and no function. I'm glad the spirit is still alive!

Picked up Webfishing the other day. It's nice and chill.

Rain currently transitioning to snow here.

It's been a while, so here's some various interesting things I've done during the outage: -judged an egg drop -solved a 3x3 in 10 seconds at a competition -watched the sun rise -cooked some mealworms -went planespotting -went to a really exciting astrobiology lecture about hot springs -saw comet 2023/A3 move against the stars in real time -tried to solve 15 Rubik's cubes blindfolded

Thank you!

Oh geez, not this thread again already.

The computer you sent this message on can most likely pull off such a maneuver in a realistic simulation, in terms of raw calculation. Of course, the sensors gathering the data, computing and commanding control inputs on Starship are built a bit differently to survive being thrown into space, shaken around, and sending data across such large distances.

And it's only a little bit on fire! Awesome.

Today I visited my local impact crater! It was really cool to see the folded rock layers there and the central uplift peak sticking up out of the landscape, although most of the crater's original structure is heavily eroded and reduced to some weird hills.

I noticed my forecast was being overly optimistic during the day before it got dark. I ended up driving south, which felt pretty odd.

I have noticed during multiple storms the pillars don't point straight up, they're tilted a bit south. I wonder why that is.

I went out to some darker skies and saw some beautiful reds, back home in the city light now but can still see rapid flashing at the moment. Well worth staying up for!

I might not have evolved ears yet at the time...

How curious, I was also wondering today what the minimum size for central peak formation is.
