The V3 booster and test stand did not RUD, but there's significant damage. It seems likely that this booster will need to be scrapped.

Wow! I am so impressed. Seems like they took a cautious trajectory and burned lots of fuel on the landing, but that looked great!

Crossing all my fingers and toes for a successful landing, but I'm not sure it'll be enough.

I keep changing my mind, but it feels like it was a deliberate choice to aim the shield at the camera. It's so perfectly centered!

I'm convinced that this presentation is a protective spell and Starship won't survive a launch until it happens.

It's wild how quickly they adapted the OLM for Ship testing.

I found this insightful. Eager Space has lost a lot of optimism about the program, and argues that SpaceX is now at the dreaded threshold of hubris. The Apollo program faced a similar crisis after the Apollo 1 disaster.

I find myself agreeing, especially with the spreading "block 3 will fix everything" mentality online. It doesn't feel that simple.

Wow, I had no idea! Nor did I know that Vulkan performs so well. I'll have to read more, because this could really simplify my planned build.

Count me as someone who would be interested in a post!

Are you saying that you're running an Nvidia/AMD multi-GPU system, and they can work together during inference? So, your LLM-relevant VRAM is 10gb(3080)+20gb(7900xt)?

Thanks! Time flies.

The static fire (at Massey's) hadn't actually started. Unclear how the ground systems are doing. At least it's a pretty night explosion?
