[Scott Manley | 9:06] Rocket Explosion Caused By Microscopic Defects (www.youtube.com)
 

Video description excerpt:

I saw this great video of a rocket engine exploding during a test and discovered this was part of detailed scientific paper which looked at how the defects that destroyed the engine were the result of quality control during the additive manufacturing process. Rather than just repost the video as a short, here's some more detail on the problems in the manufacturing, and the consequences on the test stand.

[Scott Manley | 37:55] The First Interstellar Software Update - The Insane Hack That Saved Voyager 1 (www.youtube.com)
 

Video description excerpt:

In November 2023 Voyager 1 stopped communicating with Earth, the telemetry it was sending contained no information, but engineers working on the spacecraft could tell it was still listening. It would take months of experimenting to understand the problem and develop a fix using techniques that had never been employed before and designing software for a 50 year old computer using pen and paper.

I would personally lean towards keeping the focus of this community to the content in the books (and to a lesser extent their adaptations and other media), but I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts.

[Meta] The elephant in the room (self.harrypotter)
 

What are our thoughts regarding posts focusing on (potentially unsavoury) views held by the author of the series?

Is [email protected] community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

Huh, is this the Schroeder? I never knew he started off so much younger than Charlie Brown.

No thoughts. Head empty.

A couple days ago, I overfilled a glass and spilled a portion of the contents while transporting it.

While reporting on the crash during their noon newscast on July 12th, Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU co-anchor Tori Campbell reported that the names of the pilots on board were "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk" and "Bang Ding Ow."

On the evening of July 12th, the NTSB issued an apology via press release noting that a summer intern had acted on his own authority by confirming the fake names, and asserted that appropriate action would be taken to assure a similar error would not happen again.

As far as I know, the identity of the intern remains undisclosed.
