If you lived 1900 miles West or East, you would see the same sky, just at different times. In this case, the difference in timezones would approximately be the difference in the sky you see. So if your husband is 3 hours ahead, he’d see the same sky about 3 hours before you.

If you lived 1900 miles north or south of each other, your horizon could be pretty different. But the stars directly overhead would be pretty similar.

If you lived on opposite sides of the equator, you might start to see different angles of the sky such that things directly overhead look flipped upside down. People in the southern hemesphere see the moon as upside down to people in the northern hemesphere.

You’re looking at it with hindsight. Sure it feels like spending another million $ designing, testing, and adding additional weight, along with removing weight from other parts looks like the right decision now.

Every design makes compromises, and every failure looks stupid when looking at the end result. The team had decisions to make and if they had the extra time and money, then making the existing design more robust with more testing and reliability would have been the better solution.

Good explanation. People that design space missions have a lot of restrictions, and things that seem obvious on the surface can cause a lot of problems in practice.

Weight. That’s the only actual answer.

It’s extremely expensive to send weight to the moon, everything you list is more weight.

As much as it’s fun to hate on Musk. The Spaceship program is already cheaper than any other option, even if the second stage never becomes reusable.

If all they do is gut the starship so it’s a little lighter and more reliable, and keep the reusable booster, it’s going to cut the cost of putting large and heavy payloads into orbit.

The James Webb telescope would have been significantly cheaper and easier to build and launch if Starship was available. There was an enormous amount of science that was cut at NASA due to the cost and time overruns from the overly complex build.

It still may never be a real option for lunar missions without the reusability and refueling, but just the ability to send huge things to earth orbit is a giant success.

Starship has nothing to do with the ISS crew. They’re coming back on the extremely reliable Dragon capsule that’s already up there.

The “rescue” mission already launched and docked during the Biden Administration.

Brother is saying they won’t “brick” your printer. Sounds like they’re only denying the most extreme description and not what they’re actually doing.

It’s actually not, because the exit condition is “when you get the joke”

Don’t give her sudo permission then.

Amazon doesn’t make anything. There’s very little on Amazon that can’t be purchased somewhere else.

This is 100% a painter who’s worked with this person/company before. In the contract I’m betting it says “before we paint, remove all utilities and covers from the wall, anything left will be painted”

The first six times they did the work, stuff was left up, and they spent an hour removing everything before they started. This time, they said fuck it. We told you to take it down, this is what you’re getting now.

Customer service reps have almost the same information that a customer would have. The only difference is they have a few more tools available to them.

Asking policy questions or anything at this level would likely get no useful info.

Maybe she shouldn’t have voted to make him immune from consequences then.

Gemini is wrong quite often. You shouldn’t rely on it to tell you facts.

If I need to double check it, then it’s worthless to me.

It’s also underselling what they are providing.

You get to skip all the AI garbage, all the sponsored links, and the “what other people are asking” sections and just go straight to the search results.

Privacy is the primary selling point, but the clean “old school” google interface is what I’m really excited about. I’ve set my default search in the browser to Leta for now.

I’m sorry I called you a knob, that’s an insult to knobs. You’re actually much, much worse.

Not all cd players had an accessible lens. A car deck had a slot insert and there was no way to get at the lens without disassembling the whole thing.

Computer CD players also had a tray that extended so the lens was mostly hidden.

Boomboxes and portable CD players had pop up lids where you could see the lens, but there were probably an equal number of players where you couldn’t access it.
