I love that everyone from Starship engineers to Starliner CAPCOM watches NSF.

TL;DW highlights:
Side note at 01:40 on Falcon 9 upper stage production: Close to 200 this year, likely over 200 next year.
Stage 1 landing confirmed!
Edit: M-vac shutdown, nominal park orbit insertion.
MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.
Liftoff!
Edit: Per NSF, this marks a new fastest pad turnaround time at 2 days 19 hours 40 minutes between this mission and Astra 1P. Previous record was 2 days 20 hours between Starlink 6-48 and 6-49.

All systems are looking good, weather is currently 70% favorable, and propellant load is about to begin for today’s launch of 22 @Starlink satellites from Florida
Currently, the highest Q value obtained from a tokamak is 1.53
I’m pretty sure this is the value of Q achieved by the National Ignition Facility, which uses inertial confinement, not a tokamak. As far as I know, the record Q for a tokamak is still only 0.67, set by the Joint European Torus back in 1997.
localized entirely within your Lemmy instance?
Well, not entirely. It federates to other instances, which is sort of the point of Lemmy :)
“Darth Plagiarism” is just… *chef’s kiss*
Specifically Lumiere and Babette, I believe.
We’re going to have the healthiest mice in the future!
the first astronauts warned us about a private space industry. Sure, they can innovate faster and cheaper, but not as safely.
Crew Dragon: 0
Space Shuttle: 14
I wonder if Suni and Butch are secretly happy that they get a longer stay, worried about the integrity of their ride home, or maybe a bit of both?
