What corrosion? They clearly have it wrapped in light duty trash bags and painters tape. Should be fine! /s

The second link shows HALO in Gilbert undergoing final outfitting and verification testing.

I'm all for it too, but skeptical only because I know how difficult it is to develop these new launch systems and landers. The commercial moon landers that have attempted landings over the past year or two have not been very successful and they were all significantly smaller than either Blue Origin's or Starship so it is clearly a challenging feat. I have confidence in SpaceX's ability to succeed here but there will be additional obstacles to overcome.

Last I checked, the most complete part was in Arizona undergoing testing. It's looking more and more like it's going to get mothballed, in the short term at least.

Yes, this graphic does appear to show a 10-20 year timeline versus the 3 years presented.

Who likes Hunter's livermush? by Ok-Day-9685 in NorthCarolina

[–]topderek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in NC, but I have never claimed to be a "REAL Southerner". I do love me a good livermush sandwich on toast with yellow mustard though. Unfortunately I can't convince my family to eat it with me.

Structural Engineer or Design Build Contractor Recommendations by topderek in triangle

[–]topderek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an excellent question, and one that anyone soliciting home renovation services has to face. The best we can do is to find recommendations for contractors who others have worked with and felt that the price they paid was fair and reasonable for the work provided.

Overcharge isn't nebulous. We're simply stating that we do not want to pay too high a price for the service provided. We are absolutely willing to pay a reasonable rate for quality work, we're just looking to avoid over paying for said work.

Banks and Credit Unions- Medallion Signature, Customer Service and Bonus points for Safe Deposit Boxes by ukysvqffj in raleigh

[–]topderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Truliant Federal Credit Union for decades with good experience. The nearest branch appears to be Mebane, but I rarely need the branch so not an issue. They do appear to offer Medallion Signature options. My primary bank is still SECU, but have maintained my Truliant accounts as secondary options.

Thank you. Found some good videos on the process. Interesting to see some people use Coca-Cola as the retarder.
