Some news about . Astra just announced it's laying off 25% of its workforce and is relocating 50 employees from the launch service department to the space systems department.

They also secured a $12.5M from senior notes.

Seems like Astra is refocusing its resources on making as much money as possible in the short term so they can sustain their operations.

They currently have 278+ orders for their space systems segment which represents +$70M in revenue.

Time will tell if they survive 2024.

This is a cool idea! A different type of 2-stroke engine, but called a
1-stroke, with eight pistons and only four cylinders... :-)

A little confusing, but a really innovative idea!

I'm normally pretty cool around the house, in the .

But (since I do all the cooking), I do tend to get mildly when things I expect to be in a certain place are no longer in a certain place and I have to hunt for them. Usually while something critical is happening on the stove.

And by mildly irritated I mean from .

Every is dangerous, and the more powerful the tool the more dangerous it is. Of course. Is as dangerous as ? Probably not. It might be in the same league as, oh, say —and those have done a hell of a lot of damage. But they haven’t done it by ushering in the . Instead the damage is from slow, creeping, cumulative change where the effect of any one individual event is too small to measure.

So I really think the focus on world-ending scenarios takes away from the conversations we need to be having. This reminds me a lot of the simmering “how far is too far” debate, especially the kibitzing from “” with no understanding of the and an sense that isn’t nearly as developed as they think it is. There are conversations on that topic I’d like to have without the constant Greek chorus of “! ! !”

Panavia Tornado F.3 The Tornado GR.1 was originally produced by the European multi-national Panavia concern as a 'strike' aircraft. However, the Royal Air Force also needed an air defence fighter, capable of defending U.K. airspace. Redesign, including a lengthened fuselage, new radar, air-to-air missiles, and engines re-worked for higher altitude operations, gave rise to the Tornado F.2. Sadly, the new radar wasn't ready in time for this aircraft, which meant that early examples flew with a concrete block in the nose to restore balance! The final version, the F.3 (as shown here at the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum - NELSAM - in Sunderland) proved itself a capable long-range interceptor.
