  • Ukraine Eliminates Shahed Drone Relay Stations Operating From Belarus

    Jump

  • Is this the first attack they've done against Belarus? They weren't really clear how they did it in the article, could have been with weapons, or could have been some sort of cyberattack, but whatever it is had to be an attack special military operation?

  • TIL that Elon Musk controls 90 companies. When he buys land, when he orders food, or when he gives money to politicians, he uses shell companies

  • and then when they die and the loans do need to get paid back, there's all sorts of tax advantages when it gets all settled.

  • BREAKING: U.S. and Israel Bomb Iran Amid Peace Talks

    Jump

  • I can just see this happening while literally negotiating at the table. Like US and Iran are there, the mediator mediating, someone walks in and whispers into the US sides ear, they say carry on everything is fine and continues. A few minutes later someone walks in on Iran's side and whispers into their ear and they freak out.

  • Can you source it as being sold as 1? AFAIK it was never sold as 1. There might have been planning where they thought 1 would work, but not sold.

  • Ah yes, something that an arm chair rocket scientest says can't exist

    This is it firing.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJdu5ee_ohA

    This is the clean side of it

    This is looking at the vertical slice head on we see in the original image where we see it as only the vertical part of it. There were other pictures where that 1st one came from with other angles as well, they weren't hiding anything with a specific shot.

    People said it was impossible to propulsive land a orbital booster, and said it would also be impossible to land it on a barge in the ocean.

    SpaceX lands a orbital rocket on a barge in the ocean.

    People said even if you can reuse a rocket, it'll never be affordable to do so. One very prominent space person (someone in boeing or something) said, you'd have to fly it 10 times to even be worth making one!

    SpaceX flew their first Falcon 9 for the 33th time last week.

    People said no ones going to want to use a re-used rocket

    SpaceX has people including government agencies specifically looking for used rockets as they're now flight tested.

    People said even if you can relaunch a rocket, there isn't enough things to put into space to even warrant having one

    SpaceX develops Starlink to create a use case for their new rocket.

    People said Starlink would never be profitable, you have to keep sending new satellites up they'll never make money!

    SpaceX's starlink division is now profitable and accounts for more revenue than the rest of the business. (satellites coming down now don't matter as they can be profitably replenished. All them coming down means is bandwidth capacity will stagnate IF technology doesn't improve to increase it when more go up)

    People thought it was nuts they were going to try and catch Super Heavy booster on 2 chop sticks

    SpaceX lands it on their first, and subsequent tries.

    The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on, and they keep doing it.

    Falcon 9 is the most reliable rocket we have, and you're sitting here going don't trust musk to build something reliable lol.

    Jump

  • The point is no one has done what they are trying to do. Hur dur NASA got to the moon and SpaceX cant even do it is an apples to oranges comparison.

    NASA used a fully expendable system and delivered about 15 tonnes to surface.

    SpaceX is building a fully reusable (in theory) first and 2nd stage that can deliver 100t to the surface.

    You cant compare it.

    Edit: My bad - thats 100t cargo to the moon, actual mass including ship is over 200t. Apollo was still ~15t

  • Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon

    Jump

  • Well, if my google search is right, they've already done 15 crewed flights (there/back so 30) with the longest duration in the capsule being over 3 days, and there are people on the ISS, so whatever it is, isn't needed for any of that manned spaceflight which makes me think its just something that allows for an extended trip, and having a bigger ship, opens the possibilities of other solutions.

    For example, they can just take a less complicated but larger CO2 scrubber and/or more oxygen instead of having to use a super complicated one with a material we maybe can't re-create due to space/weight constraints. They'll have 100 tonnes to work with. 1 tonne of oxygen would last a small crew for years. Also that 100 tonnes might probably be after life support systems if they're talking about delivering 100t to surface.

    I'm tired as well, I'm going to head off to bed.

  • Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon

    Jump

  • Like deliver 100 tonnes to the moons surface in a single ship?

    What do you think they're failing at so badly compared to 60 years ago.

  • Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon

    Jump

  • None of that was like what SpaceX is doing.

    There were failures in the race and they were testing things, but failures weren't the expected outcomes and part of the planned development cycle. Like they still don't even know how to make a reusable heat shield which is fundamental to this working.

    SpaceX has built a manufacturing line to churn these things out and is like we think this might work, let's try it in flight hardware. Oh okay that didnt work, let's try something else. Oh okay that did work now, but if we do this does it still work because if it does we can eek out 2% more performance. Oh shit now we have a brand new mark 2 engine. Does it sill work? Let's make it longer now with more fuel and new tanks!

    Starships blowing up is part of how they are iterating. No one else has done it this way, or so publicly.

    The government cant handle things like this because people like you look at it as a failure and shit gets shut down. If they IPO its also going to cause issues for the same reason.

    Meanwhile SpaceX has designed, built, flew and landed two orbital boosters before anyone landed one. They fucking caught it in chopsticks.

  • Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon

    Jump

  • What are tou talking about?

    Falcon 9 is fine.

    Starship & Booster are continuously improving. When you see that a starship blew up, what's probably conveniently left off from the headlines you read is its a major revision. New engines, longer, different flaps etc. The last one went up and down wonderfully. The next one launching is v3 and has the latest engines and hundreds of changes and will probably go boom and maybe even the one after that.

    They're literally removing heat tiles from critical areas to see what happens.

    In no way is SpaceX messing up here though.

    Nobody has ever developed a rocket in the open like this before where stuff breaking is expected and normal.

    Edit: Attaching image of their engines for example. That v3 is not a render. This is a brand new engine type (full-flow staged combustion fuel cycle), never flown before SpaceX built one and flew it. Russia built one in theory, but never flew it.

  • Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."

    Jump

  • Which is why SpaceX is about to suck once they IPO :(

    The original stated plan was no IPO until Mars transits were normal.

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

    Jump

  • I'm sorry she's having to deal with this BS. I have a feeling the next step is to arrest her in a pullover for having an invalid license when the cop doesn't believe the M instead of the F and says it's fake. Or when she tries to go to a bar and gets told its fake.

  • Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps.

    Jump

  • This still allows the government to see which service provider you are using.

    That was a poor choice then. They can do this with ZKP and not even know that.

    Like it should be doable where sure the website might ask the government if its valid, but the government doesnt know who owns the token, so all they know is someone accessed the site, not who. So they could know general traffic to sites, but that would be it.

    There would be ways to hide even the site as well where the website gives you a non identifying token to use with yours and be verified by the government as well, then they only know some site is requesting verification and sign it back to you as valid and you return it to the site. In this one the government only knows your using it, but not where.

    Edit: clarity, but also if they put this much effort into the system using ZKP, this oversight almost sounds intentional so they can track people / population usage even if less.

    Edit: 10 years from now - our age restriction service shows traffic to porn hub increased 10x over the past decade while poverty has increased! PornHub is clearly the cause of our poverty situation we should ban it! The traffic is too high! A bit over the top, but the info is still useful to them.

  • Key Russian Surveillance Ship Appears Crippled After Strike in Crimea

  • Wow, almost 2 years to verify it was or wasn't hit. Hope the person who made the hit is still alive to cheer it.
