    Very interesting to watch, though I don't really have a great idea of what's going on most of the time. Performance seems to be fairly poor despite my system being pretty beefy (Ry…

    The battery pack contactor is one of the only, if not actually the only, moving pieces in a battery pack. A solenoid connects or disconnects the battery pack from the rest of the c…

    I understand where that sentiment comes from, especially looking at the slew of mid-sized companies that have never turned a profit despite paying multiple hundred K TCs, but if yo…

    Hey Billy, very small nitpick on your site: The "Mission Sets" nav button is broken on the Viceroy page, and it looks like it's just down to the href missing the correct target (# …

    SpaceX undoubtedly does have US government agencies as some of their biggest customers, but 98% must be a gross exaggeration. The Falcon 9/Heavy have made nearly all of their launc…
