I often wonder if you have to start out being indescribably stupid and larcenous to succeed so wildly at business, or if you can pick it up as you go along.

"Grandpa Hurtle" helping build a mach 3+ jet is a scenario too hilariously pulp-sci-fi to comprehend

It wouldn't be a PC/XT without the fragrant aroma of exploding tantalums.

It's fun using pinch-to-zoom on my phone and watching the pixels seethe.

I mean as of this writing "ls && rm --rf /" still works in a Claude.md because of course it does

Human-rating efforts for Dual Engine Centaur will certainly help things along.

When you need low thirty percentage points of the popular vote to win, it's not difficult.

From NASA PAO articles, at least 2014 (www.nasa.gov/technology/s...) with first delivered stage in 2017? (www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/07/icps...)

Curious about when ICPS efforts started, for comparison.

I can only assume they've got insight into timelines that say EUS is farther away than hoped. But yeah, it's basically the worst possible time to swap a major element.

The DoD wants to kill people with AI, and AI companies don't give a shit if people die, exactly, they just don't want to be perceived as being overt about it. Clearly the battle for the ages.

I don't think it's a bad idea - certainly better than just cancelling everything and hoping Starship picks up the slack. Doing a crewed lander test is also a long-overdue notion. I'm just worried this is more kicking the can down the road for future administrations to worry about.

department of defense: we want to kill people with AI
AI companies: we honestly don't give a shit if people die *because* of AI, but don't like, make it obvious like that

I'm so tired of starting over every few years. Centaur is a historically great stage, but rockets aren't Lego blocks, as folks on certain forums love to point out. Integration, human-rating, aerodynamics, ground support equipment are going to take time.
