certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I will definitely come back again
Machine no gettum patois, slang, sarcasm, and informal conversational usage.
Machine Intelligence isn’t.
I’m a programmer, among other things. I know.
Nopitty nope nope.
And I have a hard time with people complaining about gramma and spieling without the proper use of punksuation.
🤔😇🤣
Maybe it’s ai cummings.
If Skynet’s gonna be a pedant, we’re all screwed.
Yeah,
I wonder how it’ll handle thumbed-in phone text messaging.
I predict the booster will continue to set new records until it falls over or is damaged in transit. *
*exploding after launch is considered “in transit” right?
The logistics of a launch window fascinates me. I assume there are all sorts of things which have to be considered, such as closing air space, various objects in orbit, etc.
Been a long time, but let’s see if the ol’ memory still works:
Launch window is mainly driven by orbit requirements (target, sun angle, relative position of other satellites within the constellation, etc.).
This was more fun, back in the slide-rule days.
I’m not aware of any space-object collision-avoidance considerations, back in the day, just observation-avoidance, perhaps.
Go/no-go involves weather constraints (lightning, ground winds, upper-altitude wind shear, landing barge sea state, etc.), published safety zones (vehicles, vessels, trains, planes), and range-support readiness (comms, tracking, command destruct, emergency services, etc.).
The supporting ranges do heroic work making these routine.
No mention of the Blue Origin ‘Babes in Space’ launch? :-\
