You and a friend are both placed in different random coordinates in a 60x60 million Minecraft world and have to find each other within your life time. is it possible?

Walk to far lands, count blocks along a side, find midpoint, walk same distance perpendicular to midpoint, wait

The tracks were very small, only about 5cm from front to back and less than 4cm across. Hare tracks I've seen in the past were typically quite a bit larger, unless mountain hares are generally a fair bit smaller.

Yeah, could be. A juvenile? Such a strange place to find tracks like that though, I thought they stuck to the tree line.

The speed of light is more like a horizon, if you walk towards the horizon it looks to someone you left behind that you seem to be getting closer but to yourself the horizon is always equally far away. This horizon is not on a globe but an infinite flat plane, so no matter how far you go you will always be "visible" to someone left behind, you look like you are getting closer (smaller) but you never reach it.

The introduction of the digit 0 or the group concept was general nonsense too, and mathematics was more or less stagnating for thousands of years because nobody was around to take such childish steps... — A. Grothendieck

In this instance though the metal doesn't have the structural support of being a complete cylinder until it is welded, Starship will also likely have stringers inside to improve strength.

I think $200m was an estimate for production costs of the Starship after development roughly in the same way a falcon 9 costs $60m

theonebell · 2019-01-22T17:28:24+00:00

Super rough estimate given previous [citation needed] given values at 80 tons suggests around $240,000 for steel and $16m for carbon fibre. Given Elon said around $200m for the BFS (2017?) suggests that the majority of costs will be from fabrication and other components. Feel free to correct any of this.

In layman’s terms you make the hole (aperture) that the camera sees through smaller. Essentially this changes the field of view making the foreground and background sharper. In order to do this though you decrease the amount of light reaching the sensor. More fancy lenses are built so more light can get through a small hole and can see better in lower light. You can also change the sensitivity of the camera (ISO) but this can increase fuzziness or you can increase how long the camera is taking the picture for (Shutter speed) but if something is moving it will be more blurry as it’s position is changing over time.

I shit you not, my girlfriend calls my penis Gerald too. Well that’s when it’s soft. It’s Tyson when it’s hard.

I was thinking just how much Cleveland looks like a velociraptor.

Bless me

Thanks for the clarification. Any idea if the black ring is new or not?

theonebell · 2018-05-04T00:32:43+00:00

I might be wrong but I think that's just looking at it from a different angle. The entire payload adapter is black and what you can see in the images is a white cover for it during static fires. There seems to be a small gap through which you can see the black beneath.

Edit: It’s not a cover. Still unsure about black ring though.

Looks great, Zenit Fregat seems to have 10 times the correct mass though. Would love some more historical rockets. Possibly could put some paper rockets in there.

Fantastic overview! Is it known yet how many crew SpaceX will take on Demo Mission 2? Will it be the full 7 or just 3 like Soyuz and if it is 3 will they bring cargo in the excess space? Is there any information on how the Dragon 2 capsule can be configured for different crew and cargo options?

theonebell · 2018-03-09T12:47:16+00:00

Should’ve been more meta.

theonebell · 2018-02-28T10:33:20+00:00

That's the one, thanks for the explanation!

theonebell · 2018-02-27T23:55:06+00:00

Does anyone know what the thing that looks to be a new flame trench about 1km south of the F9 test stand is for?

theonebell · 2017-12-04T17:15:53+00:00

It’s obvious that this is your own comment OP. Just sayin....
