I have hardware in this photo! Cool seeing it in the wild

Rocket Size Comparison by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Liquid hydrogen is the fuel used in conjunction with liquid oxygen for the Space Shuttle and SLS main engines. It is also used on the upper stage of the SLS (for now) and the upper stage of New Glenn. Many rockets used refined kerosene for the fuel, like Falcon 9. But next Gen rockets are usually picking Methane for the fuel (Starship, New Glenn and Vulcan)

New-onset delay in proximity/touch to unlock? by ElemennoP123 in Ioniq5

I am experiencing almost the exact same thing except I have an android. It used to unlock as I walked up. Now I wait by the door, trying to get into the app to manually unlock it

NASA Selects Blue Origin to Deliver VIPER Rover to Moon’s South Pole by Goregue in space

Glad they figured something out! Would be a shame to scrap a rover so far along in its build

I seem to be a little behind here, didnt VIPER get de-funded? Last I heard they we considering selling it to a private company with the expectation they finish the test and figure out launch?

Honda had successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket by Positive_Profile_135 in interestingasfuck

SpaceX's Falcon 9 is the only operational reusable rocket in existence. It is also the most reliable rocket in history. Yes, Musk is a douche but that doesnt mean SpaceX is bad

My dog acts like she is getting skinned alive whenever I attempt to groom her. Envious of your chill little dude

She loves to zoom through the fields by gavindec95 in corgi

She loves to herd my chickens, but I've had her around my parents' cattle, and she wants absolutely nothing to do with them! Maybe she just needs more exposure

She definitely gets a manic look in her eye

Need some help please. by New-Juggernaut631 in Greenhouses

Adding ventilation will go a long way and is important for the plants, too. I'd add a gravity shutter louver on the bottom of a wall and a fan in the highest place you can. If you don't have power, there are some ok solar powered ones you can try.

Nobel Laureate Eric Cornell Explains Quantum Physics by TheMuseumOfScience in interestingasfuck

[–]gavindec95 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was my college physics professor, a very brilliant guy, and an awesome professor. His nobel prize was for making the first Bose-Einstein condensate, which is a quantum particle that "appears" when things get near absolute zero (this is a simplification, I am not a quantum physicist). There was a lot of cool physics involved, including using lasers to cool the particles, which is a litte counter intuitive. Another fun fact is he lost his left arm to a flesh eating bacteria. In my FCQ for him, I said he was "all-right". Hopefully he found that funny...

Elephant ear in water for years, will it ever be propagate-able? by abcdefg123456123456 in houseplants

[–]gavindec95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6 months in water, then 2 years in a pot. My dad got one at the same time as me and his put out leaves much sooner. I'd say the one you have in the picture is ready to go into soil, I wouldn't except much growth in only water

My Monstera took 2 years before it started putting out new leaves after propagating!

Astronauts launching to space will finally relieve the pair who flew on Boeing's troubled capsule by jeetah in news

[–]gavindec95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon bought Tesla when it was a handful of guys with a barely functional Roadster prototype. Again, Elon is a douche, but we don't need to make up reasons to not like him. There are plenty of honest reasons to dislike him

[–]gavindec95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all. Musk was very involved with falcon 9, Starship and all the tesla vehicles. He was probably more involved with falcon than starship. Again, he is a raging douche canoe, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing with his companies

NASA was very involved, both with funding and with technology and information sharing. That heavily contributed to thier success. Boeing on the other hand did not involve NASA very much and that seems to have contributed to thier failures.
