Who were they trying to add? Durin's Bane? Curunír?

Do you have a support email address shared between the admins? Lemmy.ca have one, and include it in the sidebar of their instance.

Violating ITAR for 5 million dollars seems like it would be a irresponsibly reckless risk for SpaceX to take. And it's not like SpaceX are short on cash. That's like, 5 hours of Starlink revenue.

The UK Engagement with Space Committee was established by the House of Lords in January 2024. As a special inquiry committee, its primary aim is to examine how the UK can effectively engage with the rapidly evolving global space industry and ensure that national policies, regulations and investments serve the country’s long-term interests.

During its 24 March session, the committee heard from six expert witnesses across two panels. The second panel focused on the United Kingdom’s need to develop its own launch capacity and featured testimony from Scott Hammond, Deputy CEO of SaxaVord Spaceport; Alan Thompson, Head of Government Affairs at Skyrora; and Adam Baker, Co-founder of UK Launch Services.

In response to a question asking what the case was for the UK possessing a sovereign launch capability, Adam Baker explained that the country was the “only well-developed space economy in the world who not only doesn’t have it, but we did have it, and we gave it away.” This is a reference to the UK’s decision to cancel its Black Arrow launch programme in the early 1970s, despite having successfully placed a satellite into orbit.

I have dvds with the original trilogy

I assume these are the bonus discs in the 2006 release?

My video and audio is probably better than theirs anyway

If you pride yourself on your home theatre system, you may want to look into "Harmy Despecialized" and "4k77". The 2006 DVDs are generally regarded as poor quality, as they are non-anamorphic video sourced from the 1993 LaserDisc releases.

And a bit of a spiritual successor to the Space Shuttle as well. Still has the advantages of a spaceplane, but mitigates the major risks of the Shuttle design.

Yeah, I think the fraction of Redditors (even among those who are interested in Lemmy) who already use Matrix is pretty small. Asking them to sign up for yet another service to debug Lemmy issues will turn people away.

Fortunately, kersploosh has volunteered to be an ambassador for sh.itjust.works on Reddit.
