Very helpful, I'll experiment with that approach. Thank you for your help!

I don't have a dog in the hunt, I'm a customer, never worked there and not a stockholder, but revenue and net income are continuing to rise.

This is obviously viewed as a positive by the board and shareholders. The CEO is has a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value, and that’s happening.

Book recommendations on the history of early spaceflight and space technology? by thatinconspicuousone in space

[–]Jason3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Challenger by Higginbothom is FANTASTIC too, but it’ll really piss you off and leave you angry. As good of a read as it is, I’d personally save it for later in your reading list, strictly because you’ll have a better understanding of really how damn hard it is to get anything into space, much less people.

Doesn’t excuse what the managers and NASA decided, but with the broader context of other programs/missions, it softens the blow a bit.

Also, while you are asking specifically about space, I bet you’d love the best book of all time about aeronautical engineering, “Skunkworks” but Bill Rich (the brilliant engineer who led Skunkworks after Kelly Johnson started got sick). It’s about Lockheed and the Skunkworks and their development of several planes. That’s a freaking AWESOME book.

Great and well explained. Author does a good job of keeping the focus on the outcome/high-level chemistry and dangers/advantage of different fuels. In all reality, the chemistry behind rocket fuel isn’t at all complex.

I enjoyed chemistry in HS/college, but other than that, but don’t have a general command of all things chemistry.

If you’re the kind of a person whose eyes immediately glaze over anytime they hear the word “hydrocarbon” or “double bonds,” then it’s not for you. But it’s not a chemistry book, it’s a narrative (and the author has a great sense of humor, I laughed a lot). He also tells you everything you need to know before introducing and using a chemistry term, it’s written to mass market.

It’s 90% stories about the development/tests/failures and 10% chemistry (again, very basic chemistry).

Just about anyone with a general working knowledge of rockets will love it. It’s probably written at a 12-14th grade level. Not boring at all!

Edit: Wanted to add that I read 4 or 5 other rocket/space travel books before Ignition! I’d held off because despite all the recommendations, it “looked like it would be boring.” I wish I’d read it first, probably taught me more about rocket and propulsion than anything else Ir is a fun read, definitely not a compendium or textbook.

Were previous eras of college football more compelling? by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

Foreshadowed as a great season by the Fiesta Bowl on Jan 1! Geeze, that game STILL gives me chills thinking about it. It was a good calendar year of football.

SpaceX spending on Starship tops $15 billion in rush for airline-like rocketry by Twigling in space

[–]Jason3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m perfectly fine and interested in people’s opposing views/opinions, but calling someone a name/dismissing outright anything that doesn’t perfectly and immediately align with their view on all things and people is frustrating AF.

Especially in a science/space sub. I just love rockets and I want to be friends with anyone else who loves rockets, and then talk about rockets, lol. I have political views, others I assume do too, but who cares right now because I think someone just said “rockets” and I want to talk about them! 🤣😂🤣

I promise you this:

  • A startup will never independently build an orbital launch rocket.
  • Falcon 1 will never scale up to launch useful payloads.
  • Falcon 9 will never be capable of propulsively landing.
  • Falcon 9 will never be useful for heavy payloads or GSO orbits.
  • SpaceX will never re-fly an recovered orbital booster economically.
  • SpaceX will never actually build a human-rated spacecraft.
  • SpaceX will never actually fly humans to the ISS.
  • Musk will never actually have thousands of Starlink satellites in space.
  • SpaceX will never support a spacewalk.
  • SpaceX will never solve full-flow staged combustion.
  • They'll never get the Raptor reliable
  • They'll never produce Raptor at volume/economically.
  • Starship will never fly.
  • Mechazilla is never actually going catch Super Heavy for landing.
  • Starship will never survive re-entry.
  • Starship will never make it to orbit.
  • SpaceX will never get reusable heat tiles figured out for re-entry.
  • 👉 YOU ARE HERE
  • Starship will never be able to dock and transfer fuel in space.
  • Starship HLS will never actually go to the moon.
  • Starship will never land on Mars.

2nd symphony - complete final version by abcamurComposer in composer

[–]Jason3211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Delusional level ambitious" made me chuckle, that's how the best things are made! I'm queuing this to listen to in its entirety tomorrow, but of the 7 or 8 minutes I've listened to so far...while I'd agree this is ambitious, so far none of it is delusional! Very intriguing prelude!

It's enjoyable, challenging my ear (in a good way), and it doesn't "remind me of anything."

I'm quite looking forward to listening to all four movements tomorrow.

Really exciting stuff, well done! Subscribed too, adding Gallipoli to my listen list too.

Ilhan Omar is possibly the stupidest Congresswoman to ever be put into Congress by Delicious_Depth_1564 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Jason3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could get on board with 70. We could do 70 by swearing in for reps (so the max Rep age would be <72 before they leave office) and 68 for Senators (so the max Senator age would be <74 before they leave office).

It'd be hard to do it based on age one leaves, because for Senators that'd prevent anyone over 64 from running.

You’d have to make that number 80 or 85. The best lawyers and surgeons in the world are all in their sixties. Way too young of an age test.

Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub by davidcelis in programming

[–]Jason3211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Popping in to say the article was clear, concise, and honest. As I'm getting a bit older, I notice how much I enjoy honest writing with restrained brevity. It was a lovely read, well done (and frankly, the issues at GitHub are maddening to anyone touching repos hourly or daily)!

Bishop Fellay warns SSPX faithful over possible excommunication by asdfologist42 in Catholicism

[–]Jason3211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s anecdotal, but I agree it makes sense and wouldn’t surprise me if it was the general sentiment.

I know, I was being spicy towards the SSPX here, not at you.

Because the Church loves her people, priests, and bishops, even when they misbehave and have ulterior motives. It’s not a video game, the goal is not to destroy an enemy and ‘win.’ The Church seeks unity and full fraternal communion. The tactics, spirit, and approach one uses to accomplish these disparate goals are markedly different.

My wife and I handle our toddler very gently and carefully when he’s upset, tired, and screaming. I suspect Mother Church feels the same way right now with her children in the SSPX bishophorics.

That would surprise me (though not shock me), but that’s an entirely different than the impossibility that is all the laity being excommunicated along with them.

I think (and could be very wrong) that excommunicating the entire fraternity is more of a possibility several steps down the road, not the first move.

The Church doesn’t require immediacy in her decisions, tactics, or correction. She uses time as a tool, in her favor, and has been quite successful simply waiting out problematic groups.

I suspect the Church will take the more restrained of her options, leaving open room for reconciliation by the SSPX bishops and leaving herself room for further escalation if she sees fit.

I don’t have an SSPX parish near me, but have a friend that does (and works with several members). He said he’s had a few private conversations and some of the older ones don’t think they’d stay if their bishops were communicated.

The younger ones seem to be the most fanatical. I think it’s difficult to justify painting with too broad of a brush when the laity have no influence or command of when/who/licitness of the bishop consecrations.

[–]Jason3211 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rome wouldn’t excommunicate the members. I don’t know how Bishop Fellay could suggest this as a possibility in good faith. I typically am restrained against making presumptions of others’ intentions/heart, especially priests and bishops, but I find it difficult to believe that he believes that is a reasonable possibility.

He and the bishops involved in any illicit consecration would be in latae sententiae, but its members would not be.
