... Do I like need to make a thread discussing trajectories, upper stage disposals and such. Because a lot of the stuff around the stuff for the F9US is driving me crazy.

Oh wow: ESA announces it has a positive detection of the SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage booster impacting the moon! I still haven't seen any images of a flash, but that's not surprising. It was faint. Here, they saw evidence of gas (vaporized material) in the impact plume by taking spectra.

Earlier today, the discarded upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket impacted on the Moon. As part of a coordinated observing campaign, our Very Large Telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact. 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C. Schmidt et al. 1/4

this is not at all clear and is a poisonous sentiment

It's pretty clear that, for centrist/establishment Dems, "Blue No Matter Who" applies only to progressive voters whose preferred candidate lost The establishment has cooked their brains into thinking winning over moderate GOP voters is a winning strategy

You guys are going to make me write about that New Mexico medevac crash, aren't you? Stop spreading articles claiming it was shot down by DOD or DHS or CBP, etc. Read the Prelim here. There was a NOTAM on the GPS being down. If the crew needs GPS to fly, then don't fly. web.ntsb.gov/investigatio...

[stares] Genuinely how the fuck do you believe an 'ex' Neo-Nazi should not be pushed out of public life permanently, or more like, not fucking run for public office, christ.

Hello I'm an idiot

Hope you all have a lovely evening

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Technology makes flying easier. It helps. But at the end of the day, a pilot has to be prepared to fly the aircraft even if you lose the technology. Even if you lose an engine. Or both engines. Or hydraulics. It has happened. I wonder what this crew would have done in those situations.

The more that we ignore the basic piloting failures on the New Mexico medevac crash, and try to excuse them as due to lack of GPS, the more we deny the basic requirements of piloting. You can not need GPS in order to fly. You can not need autopilot in order to fly. We learn without those things.

Just a girl thinking about how many failing newspapers could be bought with the amount of money Stevens set on fire

one of the coolest things about the internet is that you can tell a writer/artist/etc that you like their stuff, and they'll probably see it

actually, maybe ~1600 for eight sessions of full facial laser is reasonable when looking at average price urgh

doing a search of "spacex moon" gives an interesting cross section of "I'm angry about this because it involves Musk and for no other reason" and "I don't understand fucking anything about space"

You know, sometimes I do wonder if there is kind of the case of like, places that pride themselves or place themselves as trans friendly in red states do like intentionally mark their prices up, knowing that there is a captive market present.

Misses most of the history of US MSR - not doing MSR has been a US space program passtime since the 1960s (first "serious" efforts were in response to Viking in the 1970s). In 2003, MSR actually *ended* (for the Nth time) after the loss of Mars Surveyor '98. US MSR is always ending and starting.

The Mars Sample Return mission got off to a promising start, hunting for potentially humanity-changing space rocks. How did it fall off the rails?

I’m sorry this kind of story is supposed to come with a picture of a hot woman so that we can all post “I can fix her” or “god forbid women have hobbies” and piss off like 5-6 big accounts who “don’t want this place to turn into facebook”

... I do not like this liked by ppl you follow. Not a fan

was just thinking the other night that we need some kind of chemical/biologic that can just nuke these things from orbit. as far as i know they're not even a critical part of the food chain, nothing eats them as a primary food source.

You actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.
