After flying F-14's for the aerial stunts in Top Gun, Scott Altman became an Astronaut, here's him landing the shuttle. I think he planted that nose wheel like he was landing on a carrier.
Tianzhou-8 will carry bricks made of lunar simulant. These will be placed outside Tiangong for ~3 years to assess the impact of the harsh outer space environment. Results will help inform plans for future lunar habitats related to China's ILRS. Images via CCTV
Tianzhou-8 is set to launch at 1513 UTC today (10:13 am EST; 2313 local) from Wenchang, according to China's human spaceflight agency. It will deliver supplies and experiments to the Tiangong space station, with docking scheduled for around 3 hours after launch. Livestream info…
I've just found out there's an official sequel to Artemis bridge simulator - and it's 1.0 release is now available. store.steampowered.com/app/2467840/Ar…
That Minuteman ICBM test last week was part of a test where the launch command was sent from an airborne command center. I'd saw this flying out of Travis on my tracker, but never made the connection until I saw this: dvidshub.net/video/943060/6…
ABL have realized there’s no longer a chance for them to compete in the launch market:
ANNOUNCEMENT Today we’re announcing major changes to our mission at ABL. We are stepping away from the commercial launch market and focusing our efforts on missile defense. Commercial Launch Over the past six years, we developed an orbital rocket with unique traits. It can be…
50 million years from now the Martian moon of Phobos will orbit close enough to mars to be disrupted by tidal forces. Mars will likely gain a ring system (note that Phobos here is scaled up a lot to make it more visible)
What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!
Happy 85th birthday to Wendy Carlos, an electronic music pioneer. Did you see the films Tron, The Shining, or A Clockwork Orange? If so, you've heard her work.
I think I still have an @ARM 1 second processor in my loft somewhere too. Started writing Lander and Zarch on it. The MUL instruction didn't work until ARM 3, the released version - which is why those games didn't use it.
The first ARM processor ( ARM 1 ) was made available to the public in summer 1986! It was released as the 'ARM Evaluation System' 2nd processor unit for the BBC Micro. The one in @computermuseum is signed by Steve Furber and Sophie Wilson, the ARM hardware/software architects.
Papers retracted after authors discovered to have used unlicensed software. I won't be surprised if the software authors may have accidentally listened to unlicensed music while coding. theregister.com/2024/11/14/aca…
There was a time I was rushing to get gaming videos out because that was the core of my channel, now I'm looking at @MSFSofficial releasing next week and I've barely mentioned it. Haven't even bothered to chase up early access keys or anything. Too much real science and flying…
I'm not sure exactly where they'd land this, but it'd be cool to see a large sea plane landing on the bay.
If in San Francisco, San Diego or Phoenix area around 18th, keep eyes open for last flight of the Martin Mars before display at Pima @scottiebateman @BlickyIan @Boneyardsafari @USAS_WW1 @AviateAddict @clark_aviation @COAPhoto @thresholdaero @pimaair avweb.com/aviation-news/…
For years the Lego Friends series has been making sets aimed at young girls, so, I’m glad they recognized that little girls like Spaceflight too. And you might dismiss this as a not entirely practical Mars base, but it has one practical feature most other LEGO space sets leave…
First images from CGST's Jilin-1 Gaofen 05B satellite launched Nov. 11. 200 kg satellite is said to be able to deliver full-color resolution at 0.2 meters res and a swath width of 13.5km. Source: weibo.com/5838191069/P0i…
I saw a promo for the new Gladiator movie and said to my husband, “That looks good. I wonder if I need to see the original first so I know what’s going on.” My husband jumped up and with his full outside voice said, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN GLADIATOR?!?” 2.5 hrs later, credits…
Can’t trust anyone these days 😭😭😭 Per Fortune, “The chocolatier’s lawyers maintained that the words “excellence” and “expertly crafted with the finest ingredients”, printed on its bars, were unactionable “puffery”, according to a decision by the Eastern District of New York…
Imagine if some clueless amateur had told researchers they shouldn't be wasting money on gila monsters, sea squirts, cone snails or leeches. It's easy to take meaningful work and make it sound frivolous if your personal engagement matters more than the researcher's work.…
I’m sure a lot of us have learned things about flying after hearing stories of crashes. And it’s a sobering thought that many nuggets of wisdom come at a high price to others. However, NASA runs an anonymous reporting program where pilots can report things that went wrong and…
