@PearsonArtPhoto it's always good to have labels. you have the space. there are always corner cases of people who are seeing it in black and white or some weird thing, and it helps.
@gerrit i think we'll keep some. after all, this should be the beginning of an ongoing increase in launches, and people are becoming more aware of the whole field. a week after the FH launch, we are still getting new people dropping in, i think it's all going to be good.
Could they not set up some sort of Euro/African operation where they just collect the FH core stages further down wind (near Africa) and just load up a boatload and ship them back?
@PearsonArtPhoto just checking as that pic makes me think mine may not be working. I have the Roadster icon pretty much still on top of Earth. That's right, yes?
0.014 AU is only a couple of pixels away on the chart?
cool - I was trawling through my plugins and blockers in case I was breaking something. That pic up there is one of the views under close approaches, then?
The entire thing shows about a 4 AU space. Assuming the pixels are around 500 (It depends on the screen width), that would be about 1 pixel every 0.01 AU or so.
Huh, so I guess you are technically supposed to ask before using Horizons data for projects. They probably will let anyone use it, but they at least want to know what you are doing with it.
So I just sent the team an email explaining exactly what I am doing with the data.
@CBredlow That would be an acceptable question.
I'm sure they won't have any issues with it, but... Maybe they will even be excited about it? Who knows.
@CBredlow Wet workshop space station. (Launch S-IV-B stage full, and use it to boost a much heavier space station to orbit. Then 'dry it ouot' and occupy the tanks where the equipment was immersed in the LOX). Super big probes to outer plaets.
S-V, no clue if N-1 had such ideas.
Actually, ask it, and I shall answer it. :)
I found the answer
But wait till after midnight UTC, as I am already Rep-Capped for today. :) And I want me some points.
Saw a Tesla Model 3 today. Saw one in STL as well. Walked aroound looking. Nice looking car.
The dash is cool.
Drove a Model X 100D (not P nor L). My son loved it. The acceleration off a highway ramp (only place I could gun it) was awesome. He really enjoyed watchig the car drive and park itself. That is pretty cool stuff.
Because linear increases in delta-v require exponential increases in mass, small changes to the assumptions you make about fuel tank structural mass and engine thrust-to-weight ratio start to make very large changes in the final size of the rocket.
For example, if you're getting off a 3.6g plane...

I just searched for footage of the habitation module of the soyuz when it is in use, but couldn't find any. It seems you can only find footage of the launch or landing. Is anoyne aware of something like that? The closest I could find was footage from the various ISS tours.
@flawr I have only seen the cosmonauts strapped into the descent module (launch or landing) and the hab when docked to ISS. Never seen them goofing before they get to the ISS in there.
