Yeah, I have the heavens-above app, I just didn't realize it can also go backwards from the current date. Oh well, one just needs to use the calendar feature. Turns out there was nothing too bright at that time. I guess I'll juat have to file it as 'unknown' edit: even looked up the fireball...

Not sure if I should post here or in the astrophoto thread, but I managed to screw up the focus anyways, so they,re not that good as astrophotos 😂 I was doing a night timelapse with my spare phone, a Samsung S10, using the Intervalometer app. Basically, I just put it on a tripod mount and...

So.....this is what he'd been saying in 2020. Perhaps that anti-safety drive got to him and he thought that, since safety margins are exaggerated, it can probably go deeper anyways. https://www.geekwire.com/2020/oceangate-raises-18m-build-bigger-submersible-fleet-get-set-titanic-trips/ But I'd...

Might just mean they're higher up (partial failure of ballast) or they're even on the surface, floating around undetected. Surfacing is quite useless as long as they can't make radio contact or otherwise signal where they are

So, subs getting tangled in debris has happened before, notably with the Mir submersible. A comparison of the thrust capability of the two might be useful https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65972686

I mean, this had more red flags than a small communist country. From the inability to open the hatch by themselves, to having been damaged and lost comms several times on previous dives, to using a gaming controller. I play almost daily on the Xbox, and I have 5 or 6 controllers laying about in...

Welcome!!. You'll see that it's a great community for a great game:cool:. Don't hesitate to look at some of the tutorials, the learning curve can be quite steep

Yeah, I guess it remains to be seen whether water-cooled means 'with a water suppression system' or actively cooled like from inside. I wouldn't put it beyond Elon 😅

So, no flame trench, but the 'steel plate' thing goes ahead. If the damage to the engines was also caused by sound/shockwaves, it could still mean trouble, if it ends up reflecting them. Would surely be awkward to have Elon admit the need for a flame trench after yet another failure. Damage not...

Yeah, I mean, given the amount of stuff that gets thrown around by impacts, the moon should have had rings by now

In the long run, of course. But even launching from the bottom of a crater means most fragments impact the landscape, and what's left is at a high angle/eccentricity, so it will impact the moon on the return trip. And any lunar base would need a form of micrometeor protection anyways

Assuming those are still intact themselves🤣
