Queer middle-aged guy. I work on radars. Opinions are my own but I'm trying to make them everyone else's problem also. In my spare time I fence and make music.

Drake losing the rap beef, suing for defamation, and then losing the case because of his own song is hilarious.

Now that Starship flight 9 spun out of control on re-entry and burned up, it’s time to take stock of where we are in terms of Starship HLS progress. Reminder: everything on the top track is gated by progress on the bottom track.

Spot the discrepancy
While the failure manifested at a similar point in the flight timeline as Starship's seventh flight test, it is worth noting that the failures are distinctly different.
The mitigations put in place after Starship's seventh flight test to address harmonic response and flammability of the ship's attic section worked as designed prior to the failure on Flight 8.

Other fan favorites include the Irish entry, which features a Norwegian singing about how she hopes that Laika lived forever and has a party in the sky every night. These are far from the most bizarre entries. The first semifinal is today, the second on Thursday and the grand finals are on Sunday.

Personally, I just wouldn’t launch a spacecraft that has a fuel leak. I’d fix it before launch. Not fixing first seems wasteful to me.
