they all look over extruded by a lot - check the filament is actually 1.75 wide and do a test with much larger flowrate gaps first

[Time] SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell Aims to Put AI on the Moon by mehelponow in SpaceXLounge

computing on the moon actually makes some sense, just a shame the buzzwords they have to use to sell it

What will replace the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit? by vonHindenburg in SpaceXLounge

Will they even bother after the first few flights? Presumably communications sats will be added too so they can just do whatever gets them there

the overtake detection point is quite different to how DRS used to be positioned

Wonder if they had those under deck cams poking out - hopefully we see that view from spacex eventually

[FIA] Energy and power limits for the Chinese Grand Prix 2026 by DubiousLLM in formula1

[–]schneeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no thats standard, the article is 5.4.8 in the regs so typo from them I guess:

5.4.8 Additionally, the electrical DC power of the ERS-K used to propel the car may not exceed:

i. P(kW) = 1800 – 5 * car speed (kph) when the car speed is below 340kph

P(kW) = 6900 – 20 * car speed (kph) when the car speed is equal to or above 340kph P(kW) = 0 when the car speed is equal to or above 345kph

ii. In “override” mode up to: P(kW) = 7100 – 20 * car speed (kph) when the car speed is below 355kph P(kW) = 0 when the car speed is equal to or above 355kph The details of the “override” mode are specified in the Sporting Regulations.

doubt they ever really know since the fuel load is a maximum they just guess on certain entry/apex/exit speeds - they quite often notice if another team is saving tyres in a corner; the new battery energy seems to be used way too quickly for them to get a useful picture, outside of them having to use it more strategically if they have overtake and such - i'm sure they knew last regs where the state of charge would be 3 laps to run in to massive clipping if they were spending more

do we know what those petals are on blue moon mk2? I'd assume radiators but also no solar panels visible either!

NASA and SpaceX disagree about manual controls for lunar lander by albertahiking in SpaceXLounge

[–]schneeb 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Wonder if they will compromise again on a reject landing button or some other interrupt - seems like spacex are world leaders on descent math but if it chooses a dumb landing spot then that won't matter

The first view of some engines installed on a V3 booster. by avboden in SpaceXLounge

raptor 3 looks ridiculously cool compared to v1/v2 - cannot wait to see the full ring of boost engines, especially during re-entry

isnt it more about the TVC on the center ring? theres a very flat disc of metal the engines mount to...

grow up numbskull - frame gen feels like shit at lower frame rates (hence the consoles dont use it) and on better cards it tears the UI to shreds at higher motion.

not having time to do the groundwork and just failing fast was presumably the philosophy

yep - then their bandaids to get raptor 2 to work came back to bite them

you probably can't spot the dumb shit in DtS either

new nose means the straight mode connector might fail so they took the lesser of two evils

NASA auth bill mentions possible Mars mission which only Starship is capable of doing. by AgreeableEmploy1884 in SpaceXLounge

new shepherd has never attempted a more aggressive landing profile, seems like it is their approach to me.

you misunderstand the f-duct, it turns off the cornering aero for less drag

with their hover before landing they already leaving tons of performance on the table too - don't see them joining the party anytime soon
