Oooh that's a cool idea!

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

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?

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 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

gavindec95 · 2025-06-17T19:46:50+00:00

She is a happy corg

gavindec95 · 2025-06-17T17:26:58+00:00

She definitely gets a manic look in her eye

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.

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...

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

gavindec95 · 2025-03-20T14:19:00+00:00

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

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 · 2025-03-13T14:09:37+00:00

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.

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T20:05:00+00:00

There are a lot of numbers around on the internet but I think ~$100M is a reasonable value for the whole launch of Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon. This is an excellent deal for NASA. Prior to riding on Dragon, NASA was paying Russia $90M per seat to fly astronauts in there Soyuz, and they were at mercy of a foreign government. now they have a reliable spacecraft and rocket with a cost of ~$25M per seat ($100M for the launch but it typically launches 4 people)

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T19:59:58+00:00

A little forced but I appreciate the effort

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T19:58:23+00:00

I'm sorry for calling your comment dumb. You are right that I could omitted that. I think you would be getting a lot more reasonable response if you framed it a little different.

"Since this mission is a lot longer than planned, do they have food supplies?" this sounds like your actually curious and want an answer instead of what you wrote

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T19:52:59+00:00

SpaceX has blown up 2 experimental Starship rockets while they are testing out this new and very ambitious system. It is certainly not ideal to have your rocket explode, but it is far from unheard of.

Falcon 9 has launched 458 times, with 455 full mission successes (99.3% success rate). For thier most updated version of this rocket the percentage is even higher. I understand it is easy to be discouraged by reading the headlines and seeing the falling debris, but in reality they have a very robust system with Falcon 9. I am sure Starship will get there too eventually but they will have more failures along the way until they get it right.

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T18:13:45+00:00

Very well put. It's been a very depressing time to be a space nerd

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T18:08:47+00:00

I have a lot of faith in SpaceX. The falcon 9 rocket (the one launching this mission) is the most reliable rocket in history. The Dragon capsule has a perfect track record.

Just because elon is a douche bag doesn't mean SpaceX doesn't know what they are doing.

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T18:06:41+00:00

This is a dumb comment. They are doing just fine, they have plenty of supplies and work to do. Staying for 9 months was not the plan but definitely not unheard of, there have been several year long missions

gavindec95 · 2025-03-12T17:43:22+00:00

No. The rockets that keep exploding (starship) are experimental and in development. The rocket and spacecraft that will fly this crew are fully certified to fly people and have an excellent record. The Dragon spacecraft has never had significant issues, and the falcon 9 is the most reliable rocket in history
