Not #RocketScience : Fixing 🔧 the #Centaur V is relatively simple: #ULA is making the top of the dome a little bit thicker. “The corrective action is a pretty low-tech thing,” Bruno said. “We will simply put in another layer of stainless steel" https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/space/united-launch-alliance-aims-vulcan-first-flight-year-end

The Debrief - Impossible Quantum Drive That Defies Known Laws of Physics Scheduled for "Do or Die" October Space Flight - The Debrief

A controversial new type of electric propulsion system that physicists say defies Newton’s Laws of Motion, known as the Quantum Drive, has secured a spot on a SpaceX rocket and will launch into low Earth orbit (LEO) this October.

Dear #Meetup.com,

If you cannot produce an #ad that does not cut off the first letter of the ad, why should I think that the device is going to be any good?

I mean the ad itself is not rocket science.

I'm pretty sure you did not mean "reakthrough" there.

hanks,
erminal Impala

@Walmart What the hell is wrong with you guys? Why do you think that auto-playing video is okay? For the first time today I click on one of your products and a video immediately plays.

Do you realize that some of us may be browsing your products in places where we have to be quiet?

I guess not.

In 2023, it is not rocket science to keep videos from auto-playing.

You've lost a sale because of this. Bravo!

#SpaceX had some #RUD until the 1st #successful #landing (meanwhile #routine) https://youtu.be/bvim4rsNHkQ

Scott Manley on youtube has done an early postmortem of the #SpaceX #Starship launch failure.
Some pretty good OSINT stuff along with the official SpaceX footage. They are not going to be able to send anything else soon. The launch area was damaged by the liftoff. Turns out it's #RocketScience

I never thought I'd say "It's not rocket science" about something actually claiming to be #RocketScience. Calling the need to intentional destroy a rocket because it veered off course a "success" is not rocket science. Using the PeeWee Hermanesque claim "I meant to do that" is more akin to throwing spaghetti at a wall.

Watching #Starship inaugural launch was awesome. This is science fiction come to life! Even clearing the pad was a huge milestone, let alone getting all the way to MECO.

Lots of data for the amazing engineers at #SpaceX to analyze. Can't wait to see this behemoth complete its first orbit!

Working on something in Juno: New Origins. I hope to finish before the real one launches.
(Fully automatic payload to orbit including landing of both first and second stage.)
