Estimated $15 million for the upper stage, the most expensive part of the launch.

Me in 2010: "Boeing and SpaceX both unveiled their capsules. Good luck SpaceX, Boeing's going to nail crewed flight with all their experience."

Then 2014 hits, SpaceX announces Dragon 2 for crew. Boeing, where are you? Still working on it I hope.

Then 2019 SpaceX successfully tests a Crew Dragon trip to the ISS, while Boeing fails a test flight. WTF is going on?

Then 2020 SpaceX delivers crew to the ISS, and we still have no clue when Starliner will fly.

How the great have fallen.

What we know of it so far looks about like an M1. It’s unlikely it will match an M2, and it will show up on the market after the M3 (not just a few months). Don’t they know you’re supposed to lead a target? They aimed at two years behind.

Their big problem will be heat. Apple’s M are throttled by heat in small devices, and so will theirs. If you see a big score, find out what kind of device it was on. Don’t compare a desktop Q chip with an Apple laptop or tablet.

Qualcomm is aiming for M1 performance levels with Oryon. It will be somewhere around the Pro or Max, but slower than Ultra.

It’s running quite late, so it’ll be shipping in devices after Apple already has the M3 on the market.

They tried this with the Fiero using snap-on plastic body panels. The panels ended up being expensive and few people took advantage of it.

Apple demanding to do everything itself when it doesn’t have a car is going to keep it out of the market. Qualcomm doesn’t have anything close to an M1 chip, which Apple could already be selling to car makers.

Well, at least misinformation they don’t like. The rest will be left alone, or even propagated by the government itself.

It's not Russian, it won't accidentally spin the ISS.

It is a pretty brilliant idea to bootstrap a new space station off ISS instead of starting from scratch.

They go up on Crew Dragon. Eventually they plan to have their own ISS modules, which will then spin off to become their own space station.

>Kaiserslautern High School junior Vera Bahl said she then used her school-issued Chromebook to shatter the door so kids could climb out.

Don't they have those little glass breaking hammers in the buses anymore?

Very close, but I've always liked the funky Night Court one better.

His Air Force photo may disturb you.

AFV was okay, Full House, eh, but Saget doing comedy otherwise was frickin' hilarious.

Also, watch Brad Williams to see a practical joke Saget played on John Stamos using Brad.

If you watch the more current series Mrs. Brown's Boys (Brendan O'Carroll in old woman drag), he is constantly roasting the shit out of his neighbor, who in real life is his sister. His wife also plays one of his kids, and his son and daughter also have roles.

If there's anything Redd would have wanted, it would be to get in one last joke as he died.

SpaceX has to play by the rules.

SpaceX wanted to get paid like everyone else. About the drones, they were exported with license for general communications. SpaceX did not have ITAR permission to export weapons systems. Dual-use technology can be legally dangerous. So Shotwell said to stop doing that.

Every other company was getting paid in full to provide its products and services to Ukraine. You think Raytheon was giving away Javelins for free? What’s wrong with SpaceX wanting some payment for continuing operations too?

SpaceX has already saved the government far more more money than it spent.

One reason Arianne isn’t doing it is because the rocket maker needs to keep making new rockets, and you don’t need new ones if you land them.

Quite a bit more, I’d say a few degrees.

Fun fact: If you Google NASA DART, the spacecraft will fly into the page, which gets hit and stays crooked.

It was a genius idea to dispense with individual injector mechanisms and just rely on natural motion from spinning them. You can pack in a lot more satellites that way.

Looks like Starlink revenue may slightly surpass launch revenue, but that Starlink program also has a massive cost, as it'll take up about twice as many launches as SpaceX is getting paid for, plus the cost of the satellites.

A rocket motor needs liquid propellant at best, so no. So like a jet engine first stage? A Falcon 9 is already 40 miles up in less than two minutes. Your jet first stage would maybe be able to get the rocket to 40,000 feet before rockets have to take over, so maybe some tens of seconds of flight. And then we have size/weight issues. Our most powerful jet engine is the GE9X at 110,000 lbs thrust. You'd need several of these to replace rockets, and they're huge and heavy.

The best idea we have so far is to haul a rocket up high on a jet airplane and then launch it, but that only works for smaller rockets.
