There are doors (called hatches) between the segments. Each segment flew up separately and pressurized. So there are actually two hatches between each segment, since there’s one on…

The centrifuge module was planned at one point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge_Accommodations_Modu...

The shape of that graph is roughly equivalent to the shape of labor force participation for women [1]. I don’t think that detracts from your point in regards to the last 20-30 year…

I think the point is that if you’re going to get a degree in mechanical engineering, you need to study differential equation, and if you’re going to have a well-rounded education, …

Not really constantly. For 20 seconds every 30 minutes or so when it changes what satellite it’s pointed at, plus longer outages throughout the day depending on satellite usage by …

Is stated in the linked article but in case anyone missed it: same creators as Apollo in Real Time

Awesome work! Surely a huge labor of love to dig up that much content out of the public domain. Congrats on the launch!

Wouldn’t the minimum be 51? 9 3 2 =54, but if the team batting second is winning after the top of the 9th then they don’t need to play the bottom of the ninth, so subtract 3? Not a…

> I wonder if there's information on how many passengers of the Mayflower were left-handed. Probably 0% reported, considering the negative views towards left-handedness at the time…

Concur that it takes time (it took 2.5-3 years for me to open source github/nasa/coda), but in my experience at JSC it wasn’t red tape, but a lack of staffing in the export office.…

Just to be clear this is one center’s first open source release. There’s open source from other centers at https://github.com/nasa and https://code.nasa.gov/

My daughters, in 2024, still hear “you’re a girl, you can’t be good at math”. My 10 year old is the best programmer on her school’s robotics team, but she hears words like these re…

I know almost nothing about genetics or virology, but perhaps GP is saying the close proximity of genetic similarity allows viruses to mutate and infect people it otherwise wouldn’…

What ages are you talking about? Where I live (in the US) I can’t imagine parents scolding me if I let my kids wander 100 yards from me, unless they were very young.

Shower right before bed, maybe?

> I am not convinced about the rest of the animal kingdom. What about crows?

While the other replies about the legality of walking away for a short period may or may not be valid, GP was talking about leaving their car charging while they go get a short mea…

Maybe true for a lot of the HN population, but my teenagers are mortified by the idea of me giving them android phones because then they would be the pariahs turning group messages…

I work at Johnson Space Center on an app called CODA [1] that allows us to view all ISS video downlinks in sync with each other as well as with audio and data sources. We can view …

I was looking for a car for my kid last night and stumbled upon this gem: https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/hou/6565526716.html

Sometimes I need to search for something but can’t find the words for it. I can prompt something generally describing the concept.

Perfectly chaotic rotation might be worse. If it was a spiral then you could hit it at a pole. I think most things rotate about a semi-fixed axis (not totally fixed, often propagat…

I don’t even want to see the title of an It’s Always Sunny episode before the cold opening.

This is the final straw for me. I’ve wanted to cancel Amazon services for a while but since I have several bundled it was just painful enough to not want to make the effort.

Not my experience at all, in a similarly sized premium on-prem GitLab. I git-push and the pipeline is running faster than I can get to my browser. Jobs queue basically instantly as…
