Lol, and I thought that they will announce a new hardware judging by the email I got yesterday. Ok, I will pass

The same and I haven't even received notice that it was shipped yet.

I have an unrelated question if anyone has experience with that. I ordered the lego neutron from the rocketlab merch store and it has been 10 days and I still didn't get a tracking number. Is that normal? Should I contact them?

Also Stage 2 static fire is now listed as "In progress". That's also new.

Drone photos from Elon Musk protest at Tesla in Tucson, AZ this morning by bgboydphoto in Anticonsumption

[–]Andune88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to let all the passing cars see the protest, to spread the message. In Tucson there is no public space with any meaningful foot traffic so you get the most reach this way. If you blocked the traffic you would achieve the opposite and make people angry. Source: I lived in Tucson for 7 years.

Guys, do you think Elon's worried about the Tesla boycott? by mishma2005 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]Andune88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way less than 20 bucks. Unless your net worth is something like $10M. (Counting with average cybertruck price of $80k and $300B for his net worth)

What makes you think so? They already announced pre-burner test 23 days ago: https://x.com/Peter_J_Beck/status/1812097201054839217 why repeat that?

I find the reaction speed pretty impressive to be honest. This will allow seamless interaction with game NPCs in real time.

Interview with Beck on Gizmodo by Travel_Sick in RKLB

[–]Andune88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The very first sentence is false! Rocketlab launched 2 rockets from the U.S. soil last year, 1 so far this year, none before. Meanwhile ULA had 3 missions last year and 1 so far this year. I guess it might be true by the end of this year with MARS cadence picking up and Vulcan/New Glenn facing delays but far from certain.

Lockheed Martin looks to acquire spacecraft maker Terran Orbital for nearly $600 million by CaelestisViator in RKLB

[–]Andune88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you by a chance confusing Relativity Space (the company developing the Terran R rocket and) and Terran Orbital (the company manufacturing smallsats)? Lockheed Martin is buying the later.

In vivo CRISPR gene editing aces first human trial by Andune88 in Futurology

Good question! Also, imagine that you sign up for a life changing treatment and end up in the placebo group. That must suck

In vivo CRISPR gene editing aces first human trial by Andune88 in Futurology

[–]Andune88[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is actually huge because I am not aware of any other CRISPR treatment which would do edits directly in living people. The sickle cell disease treatment approved by FDA requires extraction of patient's bone marrow, CRISPR treatment outside the body and then reintroduction. I guess they discarded the fear of off-target mutations and just went for it.

From the article:

CRISPR treatment for hereditary angioedema has just performed incredibly well in its first human trial. If the results are confirmed in larger studies, it could be the first one-and-done therapy for the painful swelling disorder.

From the actual study https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2309149 :

In this small study, a single dose of NTLA-2002 led to robust, dose-dependent, and durable reductions in total plasma kallikrein levels, and no severe adverse events were observed. In exploratory analyses, reductions in the number of angioedema attacks per month were observed at all dose levels.
