this issue of Wired is how I learned about SpaceX. reading it kicked off a long saga that led to me writing this tweet from the cafeteria at 1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne, CA.
This @WIRED cover from 14 years ago (!) would not be out of place today. Love that Falcon 1 in the foreground.

man if these dinky ass VC bait rockets are what we’re defending the west with, we’re cooked. there are dozens of college teams working in glorified garages in their free time that can shit out a supersonic sounding rocket 10x better than this on a lark, for fun.

1058 was the first booster I did refurb work on. First booster to fly 19 flights. First Falcon 9 to carry people to space. Rest in Pieces to the King of Kings 😭.
During transport back to Port early this morning, the booster tipped over on the droneship due to high winds and waves. Newer Falcon boosters have upgraded landing legs with the capability to self-level and mitigate this type of issue.

After a month-long anomaly investigation, we have concluded a most likely cause of failure for our Earthshakiier static fire. Learn more about what happened in our anomaly update:

gee it sure is nice that composites have notoriously linear mechanical properties :^) and that fracture mechanics isn’t exponential at all :^).
Ok, so Rush isn't a complete idiot, he knows that the carbon fiber is going to get weaker on every dive. So he invents the Acoustic Real-time Monitoring System. During descent, a computer sends acoustic pings to 20 sensors through the carbon-fiber hull, to detect weakness

excited to see fusion power getting more investment. however, since they are not boiling water to turn a wheel - as is tradition for all new power sources humanity has unlocked - they do not have the Mandate of Heaven.

Unfortunately, Earthshakiier failed shortly into firing. Next, we will begin an all-hands anomaly investigation to determine the root-cause and come back with an even better design. Stay tuned for what's next to come!

Dweeb behavior is misrepresenting code reforms that embrace global best practices to reduce per-unit costs for small buildings by conflating them with a tragedy that wouldn’t haven been averted by multiple stairwells *and* wouldn’t be subject to the aforementioned reforms.
The single staircase in Grenfell Tower has been an object of criticism since a disastrous fire claimed the lives of 72 people six years ago. But a bunch of dweebs online in the US think cutting back on safety regs in will improve developer profits, to "solve the housing crisis".

it’s anti fascist to oppose dense housing in exclusive enclaves. won’t someone think of the poor homeowners in west SF and Redondo. South Pasadena is an anti-colonial outpost we must defend at all costs. It’s anticapitalist to make apartments illegal and keep the poor out of El S.

the Waltons are the richest family on Earth, yet in NW AR we have:.•No functional, accessible, or affordable mass transit.•median income of ~$40k/yr.•10% of households and 14% of kids living in poverty. They don’t pay their fair share. How is that acceptable, @rep_stevewomack?.
The Walton family makes more money in one minute than Walmart workers do in an entire year. This is what we mean when we talk about a rigged economy.

this kind of take makes me embarrassed to call myself a socialist. gnashing teeth about housing not having enough parking and causing displacement, when it’s being built in place of an empty 1 story grocery, is car-brained NIMBYism. car bad; density good; simple as.

@opinonhaver this is fine. using powered tools to install small bolts can break them, or damage them such that they’d fail during operation, so using a hand ratchet and then a manual torque wrench to final torque is proper technique.

@HenrySternCA @JalbyMD No there isn’t. The bill text explicitly prohibits housing construction on wetlands as defined by a 1993 USFWS manual, unless specifically permitted. SB 423 sites are also restricted to residentially zoned land in urban areas. What cities are zoning urban wetlands for housing?.
