  1. I would be interested to know at what depth those 640 m/s winds occur on Neptune.
  2. Water and clouds in the atmosphere of the gas giant WASP-96b
  3. After seven months in space, it should be arriving at Mars soon.
  4. I assume the image will show up on the NASA link tonight? I'd rather look at the image myself than listen to White House chatter over it Edit: looks like yes, it will show up there
  5. A rocket lands itself on a platform on the ocean and no one bats an eye.
  6. My guess is it is doing a burn with the same deltaV of a circular orbit insertion, but with an elliptical trajectory that carries it back into the atmosphere.
  7. Yeah, at least when that happens you'll have communication as telegraphs carry over the air....
  8. Even if it does, larger vehicles tend to be less affected by that force and I'm assuming SH has high enough inertia to push through anything the atmosphere tries to throw at it.
  9. I'm guessing the behavior over water vs over land wouldn't be significantly different.
  10. I've heard that gimballing the outer engines inward in a configuration like that can give you a little bit of an aerospike effect without needing to build an aerospike.
  11. Let's just goooooo already I've got my space boots on!
  12. A person on the ISS has been imaged from the ground. Here is an image I found of a Space Shuttle imaged from the ground: Starship is a similar size to the Shuttle.
  13. Back in my day, I remembered that I made this thread.
