nice moment at this time mark
white come is oxygen, when it hits the flame, can be seen it burn the thing and thus can be seen it is reducing exhaust.

you watch the whole broadcast, huh? i always tune out after the landing now.

I watch engine nozzles of second stage. It is entertaining to watch, how matter behaves in the condition on the orbit.
I try to determine how oxygen flakes are affected by the gas concentrations on that altitude.

Also nice views, recent 10 satellites they have launched, had very interesting views/picures.

kim holder

yeah, that part is interesting. And the oxygen fluff is interesting. picking out how they are different from oxygen frost in different conditions is beyond my ability.

I'm less interested in the event itself, and I'm more interested in the information spacex provides. It is funny how such pictures/information are/became now like usual everyday things.

I feel that way as if I life in the future ))

kim holder

it's amazing how quickly it became a routine event alright.

MolbOrg

thanks for formulation, exactly.

kim holder

It's one of the reasons why i feel a project like Moonwards is important. People don't understand how quickly things are going to change in our near future.

I guess it is a good thing. Instead of seeing the novelty in that, we can make the next step and begin to see more practical things in the existance of that opportunity, or get more used to those as the opportunity appears.

kim holder

yes, i was just going to say, i think you think things will change even faster than i think they will. And you are much less concerned about problems caused by that.

MolbOrg

Maybe. Maybe I'm less concerned because problems we had and have plenty of them, nothing new in that. But the prize is a new dimension to untangle knots of those problems. And everything as usual in hands of humans.

it will create new problems, new solutions to old problems and new problems.

But the probability of exttinction of species will be significantly reduced. Hail space habs. ))

kim holder

I just think we are going to be caught unprepared for those problems unless we develop ways to think about all the implications for what we are doing.

Thus, Moonwards.

MolbOrg

Humans adapt, they always do. The strong thing of diversity and having crazy people - nothing is unexpected.
