@freebeard since the subject of indoor farming came up and I thought of him. Relevant part around 1:14:00

...I bet he knows how I ended up coming across the video.

It's in my queue.

All this good news is positively depressing.

Next time I suggest you use some sort of identifying font, italics, or bolding. Some here are whacky enough to treat all your posts as verbatim.

Have you seen the Rocket Labs Neutron rocket? It's got proper 1930s tailfins.

[Piotrsko]

Short stubby fins. I was hoping for Warner brothers cartoon large sweeping fins 1/2 the rocket size.

...I bet he knows how I ended up coming across the video.

You've bent the front page recommendation algorithm to your liking?

The big 'n little fins are only the start. There's the You Only Live Twice alligator fairing, and the aft taper that is away more streamlined for the return leg of it's journey.

And those fins negate the need for the chopstick arms that SpaceX utilises. The forward rudders are the only thing not predicted in the 1930s.

I still like the Ariane aerospike engine best.

Nobody was certian if landing was actually possible, so the chop.sticks were long throw hydraulic dampners for those odd off kilter landings. Turns out they don't need them as much and it's way easier to do things on the second iteration

"The best process is no process, the best part is no part."

Angry Astronaut says the Neutron will loft 4 of the Axiom inflatable modules, or the Chinese crew rated second stage. And they're partnered with Astroscale (https://astroscale.com/), to reduce the Crisis In LEO.

Jefferson's revision of the New Testament removed all the miracles from the text. It was intended to humanize the Gospels (and by extension Christianity) by ridding it of Jesus' alleged divinity and presenting only moral teachings.

Jefferson was not a fan of organized religion. He wrote to his friend Charles Thomson in 1817: "Say nothing of my religion; it is known to my god and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life. If that has been honest and dutiful to society, the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one." He considered himself Christian but explicitly denied any claims of Christ's divinity. As most Christian denominations today build their doctrine on a claim of Christ as God, that would make him non-Christian in any modern sense.

Isn't that getting awfully topical?

I tend to agree. Not a fan of political parties either. I've moved on to Is Reality a Controlled Hallucination? - with Anil Seth. Delivered at the same Royal Institute podium at which Micheal Faraday expounded his six lectures on the candle flame.

I'd read half of it before I figured out that Carbonic Acid is CO2.

Those chopsticks can roll the booster like a joint.

Dangerous talk.
Contextual, without the context.
The reason we have a climate crisis, is because people like him, who don't know what they're talking about are influencing those who know even less.
I'd like to know how much the American Petroleum Institute is paying him.

What is this? I don't even....

They called Chicago the Windy City not for the meteorology, but for the hot air from people's out-gassing.
