NASA TV is showing the KURS view most of the time.

Yeah, the rotation prior to the braking maneuver made me suspect that Jebediah snuck on board.

Now approximately 4.7km at 10m/s:

I am genuinely tense for this event and the risk associated. I can't imagine how I'll feel during the launch of JWST.

On a mildly related note, yesterday I managed to spot Nauka:

I am beyond terrified that something goes wrong and not enough usable fuel is available for a new attempt.

Inevitably, a question regarding feature requests, possibly remotely connected to the x64 transition - the way Orbiter currently handles controllers is very basic: a single controller can be selected and on this only the throttle axis can be selected from a dropdown menu: This is a bit of a...

This may not be out of the question: what Krishnan is referring to, if I understand correctly, is the development of a new simulator by one of the more notorious KSP modding groups, without any direct KSP affiliation. In principle this group could well use bits of orbiter, even taking the...

To be honest from a "user's perspective" if there's a time to have this break now would seem like it. It's not like this won't be a watershed of sorts anyway. Sure, it would be nice to be able to load addons for previous versione, but it's not like previous compiled versions won't be available...

This. What advantage does the version with integrated graphics client have over just shipping a client with orbiter_ng.exe by default? Just maintaining the core server and a default client would seem to be both less work and more robust should a change to Vulkan or whatever other API of choice...

Yes, the fact that PIRS will have to be undocked before Nauka arrives does leave the risk open of not being able to have either one of them should Nauka fail to dock.

"Don't count your cats until they're docked to the station", as the saying goes.

A translation from a Russian article link here: Should the pressurization bellows have really burst a couple of questions open up: Is enough fuel available for a rendezvous via RCS only? Is the fuel system safe enough to keep Nauka docked to the rest of the ISS provided it's possible to get...

According to Anatoly Zak of Russianspaceweb.com the main engines are dead for now:

"All according to plan"

They wouldn't post these messages if there were significant known problems, right? Right?

A screenshot from Nasaspaceflight.com's forum:

Got it. Still, almost any modern system has toggles in its UEFI firmware for both Hyperthreading (from what I've seen always enabled by default if supported by the installed CPU) and for the AMD or Intel "proper" virtualization technology used for VMs and such which on a number of motherboards...

No, virtualization has nothing to do with it. As Urwumpe said it's hyperthreading, a feature present on many modern CPUs that helps with parallel workloads (though not as much as having a "real" second core).

Yes, that was a bit baffling!
