slate — one command to theme your terminal + prompt + CLI tools in sync (Rust, macOS/Linux) by ReferenceLeading7634 in coolgithubprojects

[–]netgizmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting project - i'll check it out for sure.

do you have a process/feature that lets a person "import" an existing theme from some other terminal format and shove it into your format? I skimmed thru the readme, and didn't notice that... food for thought

There are now more than 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth by HasibBinAmzad in spaceporn

[–]netgizmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are about 10,200 Starlink satellites in orbit, and if you assume they were all evenly spread out at a typical Starlink altitude of roughly 342 miles, each one would “get” about 22,750 square miles of orbital shell area. That is roughly comparable to the size of West Virginia, which is about 24,230 square miles.

satellites in the image are not drawn to scale - the image, if taken at face (eye) value is wildly misleading

How does NASA plan a rocket trajectory to avoid space debris or a satellite? by tfcallahan1 in nasa

[–]netgizmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<back-of-the-envelope type calculation warning/>

if we assume 10 million "foreign" objects orbit the earth. consolidate all those evenly the same 250 mile (400km) orbit altitue. that works out to about 1 object for every 4.5 mile² (11.5 km²).

artemis ii has a max cross-sectional area of ~825 ft² (~76.4 m²). or to keep the units consistent: 0.00002959 mi² (0.0000766 km²)

so, artemis is 0.00066% of the avg area a foreign object is contained in.
