The ULA launch team is authorized to begin cryogenic propellant loading operations as today’s #VulcanRocket countdown proceeds on schedule. Weather is 80% favorable to launch the #Cert2 mission at 6:00amEDT (1000 UTC).
Not entirely unrelated. Solar panels have to be manufactured somewhere, and I’m pretty sure China currently the top producer.
I love that the elixer didn’t just give them beards, but also top hats, lit pipes, and suits! I forgot how powerful magic could be in this world.

Bon voyage, Milo.
Wait, is Shatner playing the role of Jabba in the sail barge scene?
Yeah, seems like maintenance would be more challenging, but hopefully solar doesn’t need much?
Yet another NoSafetySmokingFirst on an oversized pickup truck…
With sunshine, this is exceedingly easy.
Sunshine yes, manufacturing less so.

The One Million Checkboxes story was unexpectedly heartwarming.
Apart from the ‘don’t dead open inside’
A “NoSafetySmokingFirst” is actually subtly different from a “DontDeadOpenInside”.
In a “NoSafetySmokingFirst”, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.
This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.
But yes, format aside, it seems like a nice initiative :)
How do they clean under them?
Gateway’s primary purpose is to prevent the Artemis program from getting cancelled, and for better or for worse, it has succeeded so far.

And the entire process can be carried out at the newly renamed Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center!
Surely by now there would be tools that let them post to twitter and mastodon with one upload.
There are a few, but they all require Twitter API access (added cost).
we should encourage companies to run their own instances
I’d love for this to happen! Though it is another added cost for (currently) marginal benefit, while Twitter is free.
Companies that offer email hosting services for companies should throw in mastodon accounts as well
This is an interesting idea. Do you know of any companies offering fediverse hosting services? This could be controversial among the diehard FOSS folks (and does pose an embrace-extend-extinguish risk), but it could also be a way to onboard more mainstream organizations who don’t want to deal with hosting themselves.

An SRB blowing its nozzle off is certainly one hell of an “observation”. Pretty impressive that the rest of the vehicle was able to compensate for the funky thrust.
