If we could just work out how to efficiently mill waste plastic into 15 μm or so sizes, we’d then be able to mix the plastics directly into our wheat flours and whey protein powders. Why try to beat plastic when we could just become plastic?

OK, but why the ship and not the booster?

How did Tim manage to refrain from asking ‘Where are the engines, Jeff?’

Really surprised me, too. Wow

I bet they all got paid though

Thanks to your comments, I went looking at more about Jupiter’s influence on us and read that most of the other planets are more in line with Jupiter’s orbital plane than the Sun’s equatorial plane (which sounds impressive, but maybe only makes complete sense since the planets would have all initially formed from the same disk). Anyway, thanks

I don’t know. I don’t think we should make excuses for Jupiter just because of its size. Pluto’s doing the best it can. Could any of us do any better, so far out from the sun?

Exactly. That’s also why Jupiter, which shares its orbit with thousands of asteroids, isn’t a planet either.

I know. Nothing stresses me out more than weighing mice

Yeah. I was in Hawaii when 9/11 happened, and of course all flights at the time were canceled for days. It wasn’t a bad place to be stuck for a little while, but even that short of a delay in returning did cause a few issues.

Yikes, does that say a single stick solid booster for the first stage? Seems like it’d be a rough ride up.

I was wondering how the capsule was doing. After 20 missions, I guess they know what they’re doing.

I don’t remember if Northrop Grumman submitted a commercial crew proposal. Like SpaceX, they would have benefited from their supply mission experience.

Eventually, they became confident that they were working with new material from two fragmentary Euripides plays, Polyidus and Ino. Twenty-two of the lines were previously known in slightly varied versions, but “80 percent was brand-new stuff,” Gibert says.

This cleared up my first thought: how can you tell the lost writings of Euripides from the lost writings of Sophocles (or from the writings of playwrights that haven’t survived at all). I mean, unless these are sizeable fragments, it might not be easy to tell even Aeschylus from Euripides

Yeah, and the estimate is for the update to take 4 weeks? Didn’t Boeing do an inflight update on the landing software on OFT-1?
