The Pod Bay

Shenanigans is all I have. :(

In order to respect all parties, we should leave it at that it's a difficult situation and we hope for the best

If he can't come back, fine. I'd rather him be healthy

There is certainly some value in pushing people a bit. The trick is to know when you've pushed far enough. Not an easy thing to know really, when is enough enough.

uhoh for sure has trouble with getting into heated discussions and bringing drama to meta. Sometimes it takes him a while to understand what people are trying to get at, but rep grubbing is not the source of pain here.

@uhoh Because ESA are awesome, of course ☺

The Sword of Damocles doesn't have the same psychological effect if you just throw it at a dude.

@kimholder Quick start home schooling your dogs!

check it out y'all :) ckwstv.com/2016/03/04/brian-lynch

geez

it is fun, I didn't say who's gonna enjoy it tho :P

A for affort

@uhoh You caused me to dust off my old trajectory optimisation library by that cycler inquiry, and now all the fun projects from back then are all coming back to me.

Next one is is "badges"

well, it's "microgravity" not "zero gravity", so small, personal use doses of gravity should be fine

"Please leave any gravity outside before entering the microgravity lab."

@FutureHistorian Choosing a programming language is like choosing an ice cream flavor.

Idea for an update to the Tour:

I meant that it would frustrate so many geeks with too much time on their hands, we'd have cheap spaceflight in no time

oh hey that's a lovely freehand circle!

The biggest spike I've seen since the month after launch was maybe 2000 simultaneous visitors. Right now is around 400. Elon Musk tweeting the link to the site the first time was at least 40K I think.

Darn, they ONLY put the payload into orbit, on time, for a 30 second launch window. They only got the booster most of the way back, but could not quite stick the landing. We are so spoiled.

@uhoh Hundreds of cars are colliding with my path through town.

And since bounties usually expire, I make a standing offer for these ones:

@uhoh "nobody is exempt from being human here, well except for one or two whom I suspect are indeed extraterrestrials." (DrSheldon sheepishly raises three hands.)

can my 3 degrees in aerospace engineering please earn me higher weighted votes? lol, I'm sick of seeing so many half-baked assumptions used to answer questions! argh! happy new year! :D

@JamesJenkins I for one welcome our hypothetical overlords. As a trusted member of the community I can be useful in recruiting slaves for your underground idea factory.

FREE ROCKET

@uhoh I actually set an alarm for when I could start a bounty on that one: it would be such a cool thing to see :D

I doubt anyone is surprised, but Tuesday was the most popular day on this site by a factor of 3 that we have ever had.

Mostly I want to know what was in Wallace's monopropellant fuel.

I realized this morning that the space shuttle could have carried two Soyuz spacecraft to orbit in the payload bay.

me, I am the fool

Hey there Space.SE family. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm participating in the ARSSDC this year and this website has been absolutely CRUCIAL to my research. 75% of my data is from here, I just want to thank you guys!

@Undo No, the real question is why aren't they starring more things in Astronomy?

boobies it looks like the audio recordings I did today all worked out

He evolved from a flightless manicotti.

CHICKEN!

I wonder if they had to stick the Roadster in a vacuum chamber.

I just called out Manishearth on his physics. :) It's a good day for me.

Current Topic of the Week : planetary-science until October 5. Next Week: juno from October 6 to 12.

So they are just going to crash a booster stage because they don't want to have to store it?

Trust me, I've had a payload on a rocket that I was at least partially responsible for. I know that the solar panels need to deploy quickly:-)

Pretty Starship family photo. Nice that SN5 is in flight in its portrait.

> Gravity is the result of asymmetric distributions of vacuum energy caused by the presence of matter.

and I do sleep and do the other things too ... not because it is easy but because it is hard :D

Kerbal Space Program is 40% off on Steam this weekend, for anyone curious.
