SpaceX Test the Starship Catch System, and China Accidentally Launches a First Stage Booster...

6 күн бұрын

We saw some big progress down at Starbase as SpaceX began testing of their booster catch system, while Ship 31 was rolled out of the Highbay for cryoproofing! SpaceX also pulled off several Falcon launches, including a record-setting Falcon 9 and a Falcon Heavy mission! China also conducted 2 rocket launches, one was intentional, and one was…not…intentional, SpaceX were contracted to deorbit the ISS, hopefully after Boeing’s Starliner has a chance to leave, as inspections continue on the vehicle, which has remained dock to the station far longer than planned, Japan conducted the first operational launch of their H3 rocket, and much, much more. Enjoy!

@SuperLuminalMan 4 күн бұрын

6:40 Tangent: It's because NASA is an acronym, a pronounceable word formed from the initials, in this case of an organisation and FAA, CIA, FBI are all initialisms. The pronounceability of NASA lends itself to a degree of 'personhood' or the ascribing of human motives to that of the whole organisation that makes us want to treat the NASA acronym like a name, and we become uncomfortable using the grammatically correct 'the' to refer to the organisation.

@ismellofsandwiches7058 4 күн бұрын

maybe it's also because of seriousness, aint no way someone will go 'CALL THE FBEEY!" or "The FAAAA has banned us from airspace" (

@FruitLoops_ Күн бұрын

It's not about comfort. It's just gramatically wrong. Acronyms follow the rules of proper nouns. It's not "The John", it's "John". Same way, it's not "The NASA", it's "NASA".

The reason we say just "NASA" without a "the" article in front is due to it being said as a word, and not an acronym. The other examples (the FBI, the EPA, etc) all are pronounced as their individual letters. This is held generally true for most acronyms in modern use.

@9:16 also in 1986 the Space Shuttle Atlantis suffered a Thermal Curtain Failure (later determined to be caused intentionally by a robot named Jinx) during a static fire. In order to prevent explosion, the shuttle was launched. Unfortunately, several students from Space Camp were onboard at the time and were sent to orbit. The shuttle was able to ultimately safely land at White Sands and all aboard survived.

I agree, it would be nice, but that would encourage more problems, along the lines of Kessler Syndrome. The orbit ISS is in is relatively safe from junk because most junk deorbits fairly quickly because it is so low. Put it much higher and it is in orbit with a bunch junk and without means of avoiding any junk that comes too close.

You wouldn't fill the test tank with water to "simulate" the actual booster during the catch attempt, because that booster would be almost empty at landing/catching*. * _If this succeeds and becomes a thing, we're gonna have to work up some new terminology!_
