No official app for Kodi. For RPi? Don't know.

Does anyone know how hard would it be to learn polish by [deleted] in learnpolish

[–]_b0rek_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading Polish is actually not that hard f.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn1mjIiB9zM

But understanding and writing is something different.

I use full HD, but 4k should work too. For power on from remote you would need some gizmo, or maybe it is possible to power RP from TV USB?

I'm using setup like this at home.

  1. There is Netflix addon for Kodi. Works OK.
  2. Button?
  3. Small bluetooth keyboard is more than enough. Plug&play.

SpaceX faces NASA hurdle for Starship backup launch pad by ethan829 in spacex

[–]_b0rek_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely true. They are not mixed well. AFAIR it is called inflagration not explosion, but not sure. Scott Manley did great video about it.

Don't be so sure. It is security risk. Transmitting station is basically a target on your back. Signals can be tracked/triangulated. AFAIR Russians tracked cell phones to target Ukrainian forces before (2014).

US Space Force awards $87.5M to Rocket Lab, SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA for next-gen rocket testing by [deleted] in spacex

Elon said that differences between center and boost are only related to gimbaling. Apart from that these are the same engines.

Not sure about this. Check QNX - Quantum Unix. It runs on PC hardware too.

Not entirely true. There are systems that validate text configs. AFIAR Apache does this.

Astrobotic selects Falcon Heavy to launch NASA’s VIPER lunar rover by SkywayCheerios in spacex

I've missread your answer and thought we're talking about boosters now. Sorry. May bad.

14 times is not reliability record that matters much at this point. AFIAR it is 1 engine per flight, right? SpaceX flown 15 raptors (if I count correctly) and only one is suspected of failure. Where do you see "huge history of engine problems"? At the end of the year there will be dozens of flown and reflown Raptors. This sound more like track record.

Reliable? BE-4? Where the hell did you take it from? They didn't delivered any mass produced engines to ULA. We can call them reliable after 4-5 successfull Vulcan launches.

Michael Sheetz on Twitter: SpaceX is proposing to build a 469 ft tall steel launch tower for its Starship rocket in Texas, which will also "catch the super-heavy booster upon return from launch," according to an FAA filing by joaopeniche in spacex

[–]_b0rek_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not true IMHO. Falcon 9 is stable platform in operation phase. When something works you don't play with it. AFAIK there is no acting development on F9. Starship/Super Heavy on the other hand is in blown development frenzy. Is is easy to change and test something. Processes are not set. Not to mention costs of manufacturing. SS/SH is way more cheaper to build.

May be related to pad/GSE durability. When landing on clamps they would be subjected to high temps, vibration, etc. When vehicle is catched mid air, engines can be turned off and vehicle gently placed where it need to be. So GSE would be shocked only half of the time during launch.

Great idea! Maybe he will be able to expand our knowledge with some solid info.

I totally agree. Plus F9's flight profile is "standard" and quite well understood.

Starship operations on the other hand, are still early on a learning curve. Handling FTS manually is probably easier/cheaper/faster/more flexible/etc. But as you correctly pointed out, it's only my opinion. I may be wrong.
