COTS? --> Very successful demo!
Cargo? --> Mostly successful
Crew? --> SpaceX succeeded, let's not talk about the rest.
CLPS? --> Mmmh, it'll get there eventually, have faith!
HLS? --> Drool about Starship's future wonders despite every milestone being downgraded or extremely late, ignore the rest.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.

And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

How strange nobody needs to worry about saving money but accumulating trillions is quite advisable for him.

Ah, it's for Mars, I forgot...

Interestingly, Bolden's swearing in has been *deleted* from NASA sites. I found this old picture (yay forums!) forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?to...

However, Griffin and O'Keefe were also sworn in by VPs (Cheney). Couldn't go back to find who swore Goldin in.
Bolden, Garver nominated for NASA Administration

Nice idea until you see the usual handicap: focus in just our (Western, developed) bellybutton, again.

Same happens in developing, growing countries (India, China, Brazil until recently...). Everything hints to a global trend. Is it just political - or unsustainable growth hitting obvious excess?

With respect, but - is it so difficult to grab a stock (or even custom-made!) coffee+flowers postcard from non-genAI sites? It seems... one the most... basic/run-of-the-mill postcard choice imaginable.

Why give up to AI (and waste the associated resources) even for tasks already solved elsewhere?

Oh but they have for a while now!

By reading NSF forums alone, you would never have guessed anything that happened in the Artemis front since its inception. SLS cancellation was so obvious and imminent since 2015 or so that no serious discussion against it was even possible.

Unless the Trump-Musk clique pulls off one of their stunts (they will 100% try, but their success record is hit or miss), this can be good:

1) Repurpose A-III into HLS-free mission?
2) Accelerate Gateway?
3) Takes A-III into next Admin=eventual cancellation reversible.
4) More time for alt HLS.

La comisión europea lo que tiene que hacer con X es cerrarla. No quieres respetar nuestras normas? Pues fuera

Exacto, a eso me refería con "publicidad".

Está documentado que fue deliberado (www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-...), y ahora es lo mismo con los LLMs, sólo que aquí se están disparando en el pie y están perdiendo mucho más de lo que ganaron anteriormente. Me parece políticamente dirigido.

Muy cierto: Google es peor (a posta, por meter más publicidad al principio; ahora es descarado que para imponer LLMs).

Un uso cuidadoso de LLMs puede ser útil, pero para mí cuenta más el equipaje que lleva (quién lo apoya, cómo lo escora, el coste ambiental) y perder fluidez en mis aptitudes.

So the H-10-3 spage, the darker section on the top of this bad boy, the last (of three) A40 launching Helios 1B + Clémentine...

The HM-7B engine appears to be somewhat canted to the right in the pics? Maybe expected after passivation?

Si intentas codificar "vibes", el vibe coding puede funcionar, sobre todo si alguien ya lo ha hecho antes y no tiene dependencias enmarañadas.

Si necesitas precisión, rigor y un proyecto sólido, vibe coding sólo lleva a más trabajo (y una pérdida de aptitudes): www.theserverside.com/tip/The-case...

Vibe coding offers benefits for simple scripts and tasks, but is vibe coding bad for enterprises? Beware of hidden risks over the long term.
