As a sailor, I appreciate the tradition of the port and starboard lights on the Dragon capsule.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.

"And he's buying a grain silo to heaven"


Mj2V0PxlFvU

"There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lad, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a guy we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And he's buying a grain silo to Heaven"

Just bought a new 2020 Chevy Equinox. Nice basic SUV for $21k.

There was a new Suburban in the showroom and it is an undriveable tank. No visibility within a ten foot radius.

You're gonna pull off all the Chevrolet and Equinox badges, and replace them with Range Rover badges..... rite?

Hydrogen from a paste

Still working on whether to squeeze the H2 tube from the end or the middle.

This could be a game changer.

Which part? The Hydrogen powered toothpaste or being able to put it back in the tube?

If physics haven't been able to solve the Schrodinger's Cat problem in decades, the probability of solving this simple binary dilemma seems low. :P

Hey, Colonel Sun, next time you're at one of those Physicist's Conventions, If you see a vendor selling WWSCD? hats or t-shirts, get me one and I will gladly pay you for it! ;)

Indeed.

Comparable to the development of petroleum cracking.

Hydrocarbon cracking requires a considerable amount of energy - the last part of the article is being a bit precious in this regard.

This H2 paste technology, as I've found out, is not new.

Probably a question of getting the chemistry right.

One photographer that was there said it was the most surreal thing he has ever seen in his life. It is the same size as a 16 story building. When they launch both a Starship and heavy booster it will be the size of a 40 story building. But it won't rise so slowly.

Thanks Nonc.

My nieces is very dissapointed that the starships keep exploding and doesn't seem to believe me that it is all part of the process. I'll pass this on to her.
