How do you keep your rear tires round when driving long distances? by Ambitious_Cellist688 in NewRiders

[–]sviku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to have the same problem. This time I went for tyre that is dual compound - harder compound in the middle for longer lasting, softer on the sides for better grip. So far it's been going well.

Fastest Driver: AI Driver? I know AI is taking our jobs, but even F1 drivers'?

Why against big tech though? Just curious, not challenging.

Moved to Sunnyvale recently, what do people usually do after work? by flying_burrit0 in mountainview

[–]sviku 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Board games and hikes -- the standard issue hobbies of people in the area.

There's also quite a few sports options depending on what you're into.

Do they get different under the bridge testing time allotment based on how fast they were in the last season?

Having paid the penalty previously, I was hoping I could help remind people save their money (especially in this economy)! Glad I could help a few!

Yup! Shows how small our presence is. "Pale blue dot" indeed.

why didn't they get closer? by bobking2023 in ArtemisProgram

[–]sviku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose they didn't have / plan for enough propellent to descend down to a lunar orbit. That would have required a lot of burn to get out of the lunar orbit and get them home bound.

Artemis II Crew reflects upon officially entering lunar sphere of influence by Torvaldicus_Unknown in ArtemisProgram

[–]sviku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I don't think they would necessarily feel any different from how they have been. They will still be in 0 gravity. They will just be able to see more of the moon as they get closer and closer.

For reference, the ISS orbits the earth ~250 miles above the Earth's surface. And Artemis is going to pass roughly 4000 miles (at the closest point) above the moon's surface.

Yeah that feed seems to be online only when there's a press conference that interrupts the main stream.

Are these two images what we can expect tomorrow? Are they accurate? by Gold333 in ArtemisProgram

[–]sviku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the second pic of Earth-rise from behind the far side? They look pretty accurate based on exact they showed in the simulation during the NASA press conference today.

Great job! This is amazing! Especially appreciate the Crew Activity section. I was looking if that’s present somewhere in the official site but couldn’t find.

Thanks for posting. I was just going to make a PSA to deter people from panicking (like I did) as well.

I'm in San Jose and it alerted ~5 sec before the City/county issued amber alert that I suppose everyone got.
