We're going to have to expand Phobos a bit.

Shutdown of a Raptor vacuum engine in slow motion. The engine’s nozzle is sized for use by Starship in the Earth’s upper atmosphere and outer space, so operation at sea level and low chamber pressures results in flow separation creating visible rings in the exhaust

Who is ready for this?

The coolest eclipses are Lunar eclipses viewed from the moon. Who is going to see these?

It blows my mind that LinkedIn use flows involve menus and cell shifts that block each other.

Why in this year 2024 is there still no search engine for map layers? Either integrated with Google maps, or standalone, that indexes the web for custom map layers, .kmzs, arcgis content, etc, and allows the user to rack up tabs of layers with different transparencies, etc etc.

Do you know what exergy is? Not energy, exergy?

Turns out all you ever needed was an impossibly enormous reusable rocket. Logistics rules all. 70 years of paper missions spending 98% of their ink trying to cram 20 lbs of stuff into a 10 lb bag. All their insights irrelevant once we build a 10000 lb bag.

This trend applies…

Endless carbonates.

This was a fun conversation, thanks!
