cubinator Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I watched Falcon Heavy launch, and have been too hyped to work on the 9-page essay that's due Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnianBlue Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Finally finished my 53-page long submission for the Ames Space Settlement Competition—over 100 hours of work in a month. The person at the post office was a little confused by "Moffett Field" (Where NASA Ames is at, which is unincorporated and separate from nearby Mountain View) but I'm sure it is fine. Not sure what to do with my free time now that this is done... I guess it is time to get back to work in KSP! First I have to do homework (thankfully reduced, since we got snowed in).

ProtoJeb21 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Got a snow day (barely any snow but a LOT of ice and slush), had 9,001 failed rocket launches (okay not that much), started fixing up the Wikipedia pages for the TRAPPIST-1 planets, and found out my foster cat wants to eat Tide Pods.

It was more like a layer of dust, rather than a slushy. Anyways, i finished half of my schoolwork today, 2 of them without even realizing i finshed it. Turns out i am way too pessimistic about my school work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yesterday while I was watching the ISS fly overhead I saw an actual satellite reenter Earth's atmosphere, and it looked just like Kerbal Space Program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB-70A Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well, it did not happen today but during the night of Friday to Saturday. I just drove for 90 minutes to reach Orlando, and finally got the chance to have my second live ever of Marillion! Everything was simply amazing! If there was only a microscopic thing to complain about, it was the low number of 80's-90's songs. I don't know what I would had given to listen to Blind Curve or Out of this World in live just like the first time. Steve Rothery is still such an amazing player.

Ultimate Steve Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Friday night while I was camping I saw this really bright moving dot in the sky, even brighter than I'd seen the ISS. I put down the container I was carrying and looked up two seconds later to see it already extremely dim, and it completely vanished a second or two later. Curious, how something can go from that bright to nothing in four seconds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, Venus and the ISS reach about a -4 magnitude at their brightest, the full moon is around -12. The older Iridium satellites, due to their huge, flat, shiny antennas, can (briefly) reach around -8. @cubinator Speaking of such, you sure it was a satellite and not just a meteor?

They were red points, and they moved much too slowly to be meteors - I thought it was a fleet of drones or military aircraft until some of them stopped glowing. One fragment veered nearly 90 degrees, and I could see it's brightness oscillating, presumably as the thing tumbled and settled into the most aerodynamic orientation.

And according to the star map it happened right in the middle of Orion, and I remember it being in the center of a few more bright stars. I had thought it might have been an Iridium flare, but thanks for the confirmation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're staring up at the sky, keep an eye out for Humanity Star from the first (sucessfull) Electron mission, tho prime viewing isn't for a few weeks yet.

kerbiloid Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not really today, but a month ago I've read about punt guns. Spoiler Until that I was always thinking this is an artistic grotesque.

Jimmidii Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ok, technically yesterday, but I was lucky enough to attend a talk by Chris Hadfield, which was awesome Hearing him talk about his experience with space and everything he'd done to get there was inspiring, and he's also got an awesome ability to take any questions and run with them. I highly recommend attending one if you ever get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chel Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I went to have my normal Wednesday pie for lunch, and completely forgot that it's Lent. So, as our school is very religious, I can't eat meat for the next 39 days. Which means no pie for approximately 6 weeks. Yay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
