Frankly I’m surprised that I couldn’t find any disintegrated SLS flight tests with what happened to Colombia. There was something about Orbiter Integrated Tests but I couldn’t find some sort of itemized record on it.

I refrained from bringing up ancient stuff like Ranger because that’s a much higher R&D milestone to surpass.

Because it’s 3D? Have you seen the advertizements?

i don’t think that’s appropriate for such deeply-invigorated trauma

Well, I can’t conceive anything other than streaming 4K satellite terrain data that could take up that much data and be nefarious. This is download activity, not upload, so I don’t see it being like a botnet or something.

I don’t get it; what do you think they’re doing?

1. Okay, I stand corrected, NASA tests probably didn’t disintegrate. But something to consider is that SpaceX has always expected that the pretty early tests would fail as you can see in their statements.
2. The Starship tests didn’t crash either. The first three disintegrated at different points in time and the fourth succeeded (albeit with one engine failure out of 33 and slight damage on reentry).

I was gonna answer that it’s both, but now I see that that’s New Latin.

I think you meant descriptivist.

The podcast sourced this:

Mullenweg has publicly challenged companies in the WordPress industry, including those in competition with his own company. He prefers to settle disputes in the court of public opinion and describes his approach as “brinksmanship”, noting that the potential cost of legal action could put Automattic in a “tough spot”.[24]

The first sentence was changed to the following in the interim before I summon the will to attend the podcast again. Haven’t found what it meant originally yet.

On several occasions, Mullenweg has publicly challenged competitors to WordPress and WordPress.com.

Yeah, I understand that. It seems a bit misleading worded that way, though.

Actually, as the article says, “octopodes” is older than “octopi” as the real Latin plural; the latter was invented when a bunch of fancy Englishmen saw that pig Latin was in fashion.

I’m glad that the gist of the Wikipedia thing has finally been implemented, but it currently has major glean issues

In my impression, the payload includes the entire spacecraft, none of which is part of the rocket.

I was under the impression that a “rocket” does not include the payload. Now that I search it up, I am not sure what to call that part.

that’s not what I see in a private tab.

I take the part about “a small part” back as that’s a misleading term for what I meant: The Super Heavy booster is much bigger in both technology/complexity and physical size and has many more parts than the old space shuttle rockets as it needs to carry the weight of two space shuttle orbiters. Plus, spaceplane is weird.
