NASA also said it would be burned up in the atmosphere so even if it did hit us who really cares.

But we live in the Information Age now. Which means all these companies will abuse headlines to get clicks.

Yeah, he made enough public statements that you could include a lot of coverage just by quoting public statements. US government reports generally have no copyright, you can use them in your own work however you want.

Absolutely. Don't take my word for it, here's a detailed NASA press release about some of the changes they were making as a result. The review board went far beyond just looking at the launch process. They took a comprehensive review of the entire program, and most of their suggestions had nothing to do with not launching in cold temperatures.

I don't see SLS lasting beyond 3-5 launches.

While Solar Power Satellites for Earth are normally depicted as being used from a geostationary orbit, you can conceivably use them in other orbits provided you have at least two or three or so to provide continual coverage. Molniya orbits, for example, are a popular suggestion for Earth SPS to provide energy directly to higher latitudes.

For me personally, I went to work on the Space Station project the following year. Space systems is my career, but Shuttle technology carrying people was too flawed. That was borne out by the second Shuttle accident, and I fear for crew flying on the SLS rocket, which is still Shuttle tech (in some cases literally reused old Shuttle parts).

You must have been holding that one in for decades.

You need to have a good grasp of the maths and physics behind astronomy before rushing in. So assuming, you know the 2 very well, A Brief History of Time and Astrophysics for people in a hurry are two very good options.

But which phones and other devices support this new HAS mode for improved accuracy? They have to have specific support for it and not just general Galileo support, right?

Well reason number one is we keep getting better at detecting things like this

And reason number two is scary headlines get clicked on a lot

The first ones will probably be set up at the south pole with solar panels on the rims of craters that get sunlight all year except during a lunar eclipse, but there are stable orbits at Lagrange points. Since the moon has no atmosphere microwave power transmission would be pretty effective.

I wonder if this has some impact on the magnetosphere, the tides and the climate.

I feel like we keep getting "closest ever" every few months...

You know i slept on it and i think it might have been in ender’s shadow. That parallel book about bean.

A very weird question. Care to give us some background? Outreach to uplift braggers to become astronauts?
