    Called it. Wish they’d release some video, it’d be nice for us plebs to see just how close (or not) they’re getting.

    That’s exactly what someone who did have something to do with how the redesigns look would say.

    Kids these days. Back in my day, we just programmed “hello world!” in BASIC on monochrome screen loaded from a 5.25” floppy! And we liked it that way! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go yell at a cloud.

    Probably didn't want to make ULA feel upstaged. It is the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program, after all.

    So after today, not landing a rocket will officially be abnormal! And then they're gonna go an do it anyway in a month with GPS-3, which isn't even that heavy....

    Aaaaaaaaaand right here I run out of likes for the day, figures. They've picked up soft-landed fairings from the water before, maybe they finally decided to tweak what needed tweaking to make them waterproof? I can't imagine the structure needed much, and the metal fittings would be pretty straightforward, it seems. Also wonder if this means they're having second thoughts about ol' Steve.

    Imagine the vibration-free coverage we’ll have once Starlink starts coming online.

    Boo yah! Live ground camera view of a drone ship landing! That’s gotta be another first, right?
  10. CatastrophicFailure
    Woohoo! Live ground camera of the landing!

    Dat coastline, doe!

    What the others have said, but I think you’re thinking James Webb. Europa Clipper is (currently) scheduled to launch on SLS. Needs a big rocket. Go, you dirty, schizophrenic thing, go!
  13. CatastrophicFailure
    Woohoo, launch time! Also, found this...

    Sigh. Once again, this is what happens when I post stuff whilst half asleep at 3 am. Tho I'm also trying to move through screenshots and get somewhat caught up with game time, which is, for once, way ahead. And, er, some external synchronization before I forget about the mystery butt prints on the couch...

    Because, like most things on the interwebz, it’s actually a perversion of something else even weirder. [mild language and singing cowboys warning].

    Year 12, Day 113...After a record transit to far-off Gratian, the mapping probe comes to a screeching halt in orbit. More or less. 'Cuz there's no sound in space, and it's still moving. Or maybe that's the Gratinian dawn. Hey, who shuffled all the pictures up?! I had all this organized, guys!

    I was hoping the Internet deity on shift at this odd hour would have favored me with a simple number, but all I got was this. So instead I’ll just say, “Delah. Many.” and only this past August got his star on the walk of fame. This particular song remains a bit of a black sheep, as it was quite controversial among people who can’t take a joke.
  18. CatastrophicFailure
    poop.

    PЦTIЙ, it has been a month! And a very trying couple of weeks with one more on the way. But progress has been steady, about 75% and 4000 words in @KSK should be expecting a PM any day now No hookup with the holiday is planned, since that would give me a deadline, and we all know how well I work with those. But expect pretty lights and sudden dance numbers. Aiming for maybe next weekend. In the meantime, enjoy this holiday video that at least matches the story’s theme:

    This is a test. This only a test. 

    If this had been actual message, it would have contained content.

      I... had no idea that actually did something...

      SCIENCE!

      Well here’s a status, I’m excited to be getting to bed at 10pm on a Saturday night!  :confused:

    Welp, if they’re anything like the pine trees around here (we have one or two gymnosperms in the Evergreen State) they could be pollinated entirely by the wind without any two trees ever touching. Tho Kerbals would probably have noticed this. For A couple weeks every spring, everything around here is covered in yellow. Contemplating this for too long leads too all sorts of unpleasant fridge logic. flarp this flarping mobile editor Space tape? Space tape.

    Was gonna say everything is blocked for you, but can confirm, no joy here either.
  23. CatastrophicFailure
    And, confirmed. ...now if the weather will just cooperate...
  24. CatastrophicFailure
    Speaking of the static fire...
  25. CatastrophicFailure
    Yeah, but, not like... dead people from space... @XB-70A Last I heard rocket was at pad, but for sure no static fire yet.
