  • Canadian b-boy Phil Wizard takes gold in Olympic breaking final

  • It's all good. And plenty of other people agree. Because break dancing isn't coming back for 2028. Hopefully the equestrian junk and a few other style point events make an exit as well.

  • Oh you mean another even that's dumb as hell and shouldn't be in? Past bad decisions for events shouldn't justify continuing to add others.

  • Have you ever read how fucked boxing is in the Olympics? It's potentially been rigged for a long time now.

  • I don't. But it's still dumb they're in when other non-judged sports that should be aren't.

  • No it's not. Wrestling doesn't involve style points. Track and field don't either. I've never seen judges grade marathon runners on their form.

  • If it takes a panel of judges to determine style points it shouldn't be in the Olympics.

  • Which also shouldn't be sports. Yes they're hard to do. But if the scoring is mostly based on style it's not a sport. That's a hobby that got out of hand and over competitive.

  • Boeing Starliner astronauts might get a ride home from SpaceX — in 2025

  • Americans continue to rack up credit card debt, hitting a record $1.14 trillion

    Jump

  • People stopped traveling too. This year the record for US domestic flight passengers has been broken and reset multiple times.

    Lot of my colleagues are doing bucket list vacations because they don't give a fuck about saving anymore. They're convinced the world is ending so everyone millennial and down shouldn't bother saving.

    And I can't say I disagree with that outlook. But I'm still maxing my 401k to be safe.

  • This is also potentially the last mission for both of them. I'd be surprised if they're upset. Astronauts are a different breed.

    They're more likely to be having a good time than not. They knew from the start the mission plan included an option for a longer stay. Sunni also once held the record for ISS mission length for female astronauts.

  • Plenty. Cygnus capsule that docked a few days ago was a scheduled resupply too.

  • It's only an issue in that the logic isn't currently turned on. The capsule can do it just fine. It just wasn't the point of this mission.

    NASA update earlier today said Boeing can turn the ability on if needed. Will just need time for update and then testing to make sure it's all good to go.

  • We're back on pace for where we would have been pre-pandemic.

    People chilling out on spending and/or paying down their debt during the pandemic was the weird part.

  • 56 days and counting: Two NASA astronauts are still in space as tests on Boeing capsule continue

  • tl;dl

    Starliner thrusters all passed 3 hot fire simulations of a return mission. Probably fine to fly home.

    Ground testing was able to match what happened to the thrusters on approach. NASA now more confident the theory around fuel flow restrictions was correct.

    Catch is they'll never know for sure because the thrusters in space can't be taken apart to examine. And they won't make it back to Earth because they're on a portion that detaches before re-entry.

    The rumors around using Dragon for a return mission are true. But in that NASA has had time to think up multiple scenarios that weren't ever possible prior for return missions. There are now around 4-5 options thought up. NASA might go on to test some of those ideas out.

    ISS has so many ships docked, with more planned, that a decision on Starliner is happening soon. Regardless of if people are aboard, it needs to leave ISS by September if I was following along correctly.

  • That's overblown per the latest NASA update a couple hours ago.

    While waiting on engine test results part of the mission team has been brainstorming all kinds of new return contingency ideas that were never an option in the past. The SpaceX idea is one of 4 or 5 mentioned. It's just the one the media ran with.

    The main announcement today though was that all thrusters passed 3 hot fire simulations of a return mission. And that Starliner is likely fine to come home. The issues during approach seem to be understood and worked out.
