CatastrophicFailure

As speculated...

Totally legit...

@Triop hasn’t made one for me to pilfer yet...

Your like-cycle runs on a floating 24-hour clock, in 24 hours, your 24-hour-old like will reset and become available again. If there were no like limit, likes themselves would lose all meaning. Like rampant inflation, like counts would skyrocket out of control with no sense or reason eventually leading to a cascading quantum singularity and the end of life as we know it.

This fluffy little such & such has figured out how to fly the coop. Not even two weeks old and she jump-flew right out of the brooder cage. And seemed every bit as surprised about it as we were. Guess we’ll have to double check the lids from now on.

Despite the state-wide lockdown, somehow I still managed to get stuck in traffic: ...nothing to see here, just a ginormous boat on freakin' tank treads on an idyllic country beach... Tiny humans for scale.

That thing is flarping incredible. All it needs is a couple dozen Kerbal paratroopers sliding off the wings. I really need to get back to Kerballing.

Deep space disposal is probably an option, too. Again, that NRHO makes that relatively easy. But 20 tonne lunar lawn darts would be so much cooler.

Ninja’d again. But yes, IIRC the whole point of the near-rectilinear halo mouthful orbit is that it takes very little DV to get into/out of. The gateway’s propulsion module will do the whole thing with only a low-thrust, high-ISP ion drive. It’s not like Apollo, et al, where they need a big burn to brake into LLO.

Wait, so like... a boring cylinder, or a Boring cylinder..?

Indeed. And speaking of which...

Dang it, I was just pulling up the tab, too. But yes, frarpin’ LUNAR DRAGON! 5 tonnes of cargo there, but could also return cargo. Wonder what we could do with 5 tonnes of moon rock samples... Er, edit, return cargo does not seem to be the case, I squeeeed before I actually read the article. Tho seems odd that SpaceX would design anything to be disposable from the beginning at this point. Wonder if they might have longer term plans for used modules?

Actual good news:

Aaaaaand more meh news:

California’s on lockdown, Italy’s saying “mama Mia!” and the Great Cornholio has become the prophet of the modern age. How has no one posted this yet?? it’s time I had some time alone... Why no, I don’t deflect my growing anxiety with inappropriate humor, where ever did you get that idea? Are you threatening me?

Wow, still not locked? this truly is the apocalypse. *masked click*

Bigger question these days seems to be, is there any intelligent life at home? Ah yes, I too know this misery. Good on ya for figuring it out.

Actually, he did mention switching to a different stainless alloy, 304 I think. Could be better strength/weight ratio. Also, this:

Starting mucking about with Folding@Home. This is a very cool distributed computing thing like the old SETI@Home, that uses your PC's idle time (or while you're working) to help simulate protein folding. This is of crucial use to all sorts of medical... stuff on the edge of my comprehension, but given everything that's going on in the world today it's also involved with seeking a solution to CORVID-19. And it includes this neat little visualizer. I have no idea what's going on here but it look cool. In other news, ice continues to fascinate me.

CLICK. But then wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds and always maintain a two meter distance from any other clicks.

Just a chipmunk. That is all. As you were...

Another thing they cannot speak of. Because it might reveal information to the wrong people. What... is the airspeed velocity of an unladen forum?
