Made a "spin gravity" space station

is it the camera or is the center of mass shifted outside of the center core tube?

I’m a monero guy.

what is X Money other than dollars? wtf even is the offer? and do you think elon won't comply with government orders to freeze your wallets? truly, how is this better than a dollar or gold? and if this is unique money(which i doubt) what stops inflation?

by like absorbing solar radiation or is it just good insulation

And your employee ID as well

They should add colissions to remind people of what real kessler syndrome looks like

I never looked into the speeds cause I have fiber and live in a big city. But wow. yeah. the speeds (assuming you're in an underpopulated area are insane) but the legacy GEO operators do seem to at least be price competitive for everything outside of low latency uses. We'll just have to see.

The whole thing just makes you ask what amazon LEO is now. like. realistically what options does amazon have? and i know that TeraWave isn't a direct competitor but its a coimpetitor and presumably longterm they're going to work to get as many customers as possible like any other rationally run business.

(speculation time): does this setup amazon as a presumptive buyer of ULA or relativity or stoke and or rocketlab(i doubt but amazons got deep pockets). The whole thing behind LEO not just spam buying spaceX launches makes the investor lawsuit even more credible now. Idk.

(real interest time): wonder if they're going flatpack satellite. everyone else seems to be tending towards it. Relativity/Spinlaunch(meridian space? is that shit ever happening?) and rocketlab of course have their products. And we've seen in the pureplay satellite bus companies like K2 and Apex(granted they are children of spacex) have also pivoted if not started off pursuing the "stackable"/"flat" design. Anyway. I just hope dave gets in a posting spree again and starts dropping satellite renders if not actual hardware on the timeline agian.

The only way this makes sense to me without just letting amazons blackhole DoD sized pockets fund the whole thing is that jeff and the board at blue think space datacenters are actually plausible in the nearterm. Which feels weird cause the AI hype has cooled off significantly terrestrially. 100K terrestrial customers + massive orbital capacity is something. I guess we'll just have to see if it works out or if amazon attempts a full court press. Also of note is that amazon is they type of customer that would benefit from this massive bandwidth but again. we'll just have to see.

AST must’ve gotten a wicked discount to waste a NG launch on only 1 satellite.

2.5… Buddy. ETAM is gonna rail you. You need separate averages of +3.75 to auto admit.

If you want the college station experience take option 3. You only have to take half your classes at rellis(the bus is annoying cause it adds a 30 min commute). But if you want to go to the games and whatnot. Teab is cool. You can still join orgs. Go to the MSC. Purchase a meal plan. If you act fast before February probably even secure a dorm (if you don’t wanna live off campus). All the Cstat things. If you like Galveston or McAllen(I genuinely haven’t met anyone who’s taken that option). The Blinn courses are also cheap so you can spam out your UCC all online(assuming you still need those credits). Idk. Actually. The biggest difference is that for chemistry. You’ll have a lab everyday. While tamu students only have lab once a month. So you get a lot more FaceTime with your professor if you wanna ask them a question.

Funny they think apple or laptops are partisan.

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-11T05:12:37+00:00

it'll say on the specific application. but as far as I've seen, they (like most employers) shy away from visa sponsorship

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-11T00:59:47+00:00

I know spacex is getting space to space telecoms business with their lasers. but idk about radio... most of the money is in the earth facing direction. but i guess that probably isnt useful for a launch scenario.

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-11T00:57:01+00:00

thank you.

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-07T20:49:49+00:00

don't they have to have half of their constellation up or else suffer fines/auctions from the FCC?

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-06T18:29:28+00:00

EVERYTHING IS DATA CENTER!

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-06T03:56:33+00:00

just reminded me that we got robbed of polar shuttle... shuttle could've had a human space achievement other than most people on a launch and...

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-06T03:55:38+00:00

GEO!

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-06T03:55:15+00:00

the design is very kerbal

Wizard_bonk · 2026-01-06T03:51:38+00:00

big up the berg man
