threelonmusketeers,

The wide capsule on a skinny booster is giving me Ares I vibes…

threelonmusketeers,

Sprinkle it on roads during the winter and have it wash back into the ocean, whence it came?

threelonmusketeers,

Hmm, good points. Though if it is produced as a “waste” product, is there a chance it could be cheaper/greener than our current sources of salt?

threelonmusketeers,

they popped out of a pod-thing fully formed

Weren’t those just the Uruk-Hai?

threelonmusketeers,

I also used Joey just before the great Rexxit, and I loved this feature.

threelonmusketeers,

I’d love to see a NASA-hosted Mastodon insance. Until then, you can use a FOSS Xitter viewer like nitter:

Update: Due to unfavorable weather conditions, #MissionToPsyche is now targeting a Friday, Oct. 13, launch. go.nasa.gov/45qCd0T

(Yes… Friday the 13th. How metal is that?? 🤘)

threelonmusketeers,

Isn’t lunar regolith super sharp and abrasive? Of all the rocks to frolic naked on top of, moon rocks seem like they’d be near the bottom of the list.

threelonmusketeers,

Is the string a massless, frictionless, magic physics string that doesn’t stretch? Yes, you can ring the bell.

Normal real-world string? Probably not.

threelonmusketeers,

a mod on lemmy.ml

Well there’s your problem.

threelonmusketeers,

Funny, I was actually thinking of Adam Savage on MythBusters.

Microsofit

threelonmusketeers,

Launch thread here: sh.itjust.works/post/6647570

This was the final launch of the 501 variant of the Atlas V. The 501 has a 5-meter fairing, 0 strap-on SRBs, and 1 Centaur engine on the upper stage.

threelonmusketeers,

The ability to hear this comment is dependent on the reader’s age in a rather interesting way.

threelonmusketeers,

Yeah, I think “adapted” would be a better term than “designed” in this context.

threelonmusketeers,

starlink satellites do not have any boosting thrusters

Starlink satellites actually do have Hall-effect ion thrusters, and can raise and lower their their own orbits. Though like any spacecraft, they still have a finite amount of fuel and will eventually deorbit.

PIßATE

threelonmusketeers,

You should add the Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus re-re-classification debacle. That one spans multiple decades.

threelonmusketeers,

*off, council’s

threelonmusketeers,

but has fallen out of fashion

It’s a bit of a shame really, since it makes much more sense: How big is a billion?

threelonmusketeers,

Yeah, there’s very little information in the article on what type of reactor they plan to use, but I hope they’re able to go with something like a molten salt reactor with a thorium fuel cycle.

threelonmusketeers,

Reddit had a built-in wiki system. Could Lemmy have something similar?

threelonmusketeers,

Bears get fat every year to prepare for hibernation.

threelonmusketeers,

This kills the crab

threelonmusketeers,

to overbuild and waste electricity

Rather than waste the electricity, could we not put the excess towards energy-intensive but time-insensitive projects like direct-air carbon capture, green hydrogen production, or desalination of seawater?

threelonmusketeers,

threelonmusketeers,

2,000,000 micrograms. 2,000,000,000 nanograms.

threelonmusketeers,

How many Mars probes have we lost though?

Roughly half of them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mars_landers

Success rate is a lot better this century than it was last century though.

Benchy is love, benchy is life.

threelonmusketeers,

Where did this heat death of the universe idea originate? First time I’ve heard of it here in this thread.

It came from Kelvin’s work on thermodynamics in the 1850s, and has been refined by many scientists since then: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

It’s also the subject of a famous short story by Isaac Asimov: www.thelastquestion.net

threelonmusketeers,

There are still plenty of fossil fuels, but we’ve used up the deposits that are easily accessible with 1700s technology.

threelonmusketeers,

But at least we messed up the billions

No, you folks did it correctly. It’s everyone else who messed up: How big is a billion?

1 million squared is a billion. 1 million cubed is a trillion. (1 million)^4 is a quadrillion. And so forth with pent-, sex-, sept-, oct-, etc. Milliard, billiard, trilliard, etc. slot in between the powers of one million.

threelonmusketeers,

Even Reddit has a built-in wiki system. Why not Lemmy too?
