I did not considered Russia in. And on this I completely agree

Nope, this is the difference: in other European nations they do the test on those who already have symptoms, we don't, especially where there have been dozens of cases, we had entire villages of 3-5k people who had been all screened, what I'm saying is that probably Italy is the best "test subject" for this virus

In other places? Maybe, but in Italy is completely different: we did alone more than double the tests of the rest of Europe combined ( 1 week ago we were at 40k and the rest at 20k now the rest of Europe is at 40k, we are at 90k right now, and I'm counting The UK who did alone 20k tests). Other nations dont release real data ( France and Germany). I wouldn't believe too much in Chinese numbers either. What I'm saying is that in Italy we are at almost 9k infected and 3k of assisted pulmonary ventilators are already being used ( we have like 6-7k in the entire nation) Edit: data of 40 mins ago have 10.149 infected finded with 630 death ( so 6% mortality rate, probably because Italy is one of the nation with the oldest population), we have a day-to-day exponential growth of 40-50% . There is for example no way that Germany has only 1k cases, considering that the 1st infected in Europe was a german businessman. And to give you another example of difference between europen nations: on the 3rd of March we had done 37k test, France was just surpassing 1I and germany was at 4-5k.

you are missing the problem tater, the problem are not the death that the coronavirus does, it's the fact that 30% of the infected need hospitalization and half/a tird of them ( so 10-15% of the total) need intensive care, when places for intensive care ends, then it's start to get really ugly really quickly, especially when medics have to decide who will live or who will die

no, you better go into lockdown early than later, it is better to stop now that you ahve only few cases for 2 weeks than for 2 monts like we are doing here in italy: from yesterday(i live in Rome) the nation is basically in lockdown and everything is closed at least up until the 4th of april but there are already talkings about to stop everything up until the 10th of may or thereabouts. The italian healt organizations are sending emails to the hospitals and healtcare centers that sound like war bulletin, and i know that becuase my mother is a dentist and my close relatives are all medics of some sorts ( surgeon, professors of medicine etc..). Trust me, our family and our relatives were the first to downplay the virus. In 1 week we went form " this is way too much worry" to:"oh crap it's a gigantic problem, hospitals here are full and we risk the collapse of our medical system. The problem with this virus is not the death rate, but the hospitalization rate, especially the ones who need intensive care ( 10-15% of the infected) In the U.S. if it become widespread it will be way worse than here in Italy, because we have a way stronger healtcare system here ( considered the 2nd in the world after Spain) and the other fact is that our is public, your is not

In space the sense of smell is reduced and thanks to the fact that you don't have convection the smells don't go around too much

let's hope it wont RUD

I was like: "are they gonna land on the engine bells? I'm quite an expert on that." It's also true that the booster's camera has a few seconds of delay

man to be a small rocket it's very "bratty", and it is quite thick, so it shouldn't have the finess problem of falcon 9

are you talking about this maybe? this is a short film but it's talking about a real, terrifying future

look at page 16 , i would love to see this launch cadence http://

kerbin and eve have atmosfere!!!! yeeeeees

from the last "the space show" https://www.thespaceshow.com/show/11-feb-2020/broadcast-3459-dr.-robert-zubrin He talked to Elon in Boca: - employees: 300 now, probably 3000 in a year - production target: 2 starships per week - Starship cost target: $5M - first 5 Starships will probably stay on Mars forever - When Zubrin pointed out that it would require 6-10 football fields of solar panels to refuel a single Starship Elon said "Fine, that's what we will do". - Elon wants to use solar energy, not nuclear. - It's not Apollo. It's D-Day. - The first crew might be 20-50 people - Zubrin thinks Starship is optimized for colonization, but not exploration - Musk about mini-starship: don't want to make 2 different vehicles (Zubrin later admits "show me why I need it" is a good attitude) - Zubrin thinks landing Starship on the moon probably infeasible due to the plume creating a big crater (so you need a landing pad first...). It's also an issue on Mars (but not as significant). Spacex will adapt (Zubrin implies consideration for classic landers for Moon or mini starship). - no heatshield tiles needed for LEO reentry thanks to stainless steel (?!), but needed for reentry from Mars - they may do 100km hop after 20km - currently no evidence of super heavy production - Elon is concerned about planetary protection roadblocks - Zubrin thinks it's possible that first uncrewed Starship will land on Mars before Artemis lands on the moon

it aged like wine http://

the backup window looks way better

it might be a nice idea as one of the last mission in stock career ksp, deep impact style: "there is an asteroid in colllision course with kerbin, you have 1 year of time before impact and you have to change the trajectory of the asteroid enought that it won't impact kerbin"

this, i hope the engine didn't hit the barge, because it looked like it

yeap

i see even the mission control audio stream? i've never seen it before

1 billion? that is the marginal cost, you are looking at 2-2.5 billion per launch. p.s. there is a tread about sls 4 post lower than this post

man i think that the finess of the falcon 9 is starting to really show his hugly head. I think that spacex wants to movce to starship asap so that their launch cadence can be more reliable

at 41.56 secs you can heal Elon musk mumble " if you played kerb.....ehm a lot of space game it's helpful" when he was asked " have you tried the crew dragon simulator and the docking procedures?" lolled so hard

Crew dragon IFA slipped 1 week from the 4th to the 11th of January
