You’re talking about New Shepherd, correct?

I thought the suborbital joy flight was a single stage.

The booster and capsule separate. Booster landing doesn't affect the crew capsule.

>That was never the purpose of Fermi's research.

I never said it was.

>Please do explain how weak interaction (Fermi's interaction) was the study of clean energy.

It was the study of its potential use, who said he first that thought of use as an energy source?

Forget that question, how was it research to make a bomb specifically?

In fact so many people were talking about it as a use for an energy source that it seemed like a universal inevitable conclusion to Fermi's findings and therefore it would likely be impossible to point at who said clean energy first.

Should I point out that your favorite weapon making project first produced an energy reactor? Probably not because you don't think clean energy was the focus of the discovery before the government tried to weaponize it. In fact many at the time were saying that an energy reactor could cause it to be an accidental bomb which is what peeked the war machine's interest into turning it into an on purpose bomb.

You would hope so, since it’s an all-in-one craft.

Everyone else is playing catch-up.

Congratulations on the Century! (Cricket reference.)

Yup! And ULA is up for sale partially/mostly as a result. Lmfao at old-space!

One reason Arianne isn’t doing it is because the rocket maker needs to keep making new rockets, and you don’t need new ones if you land them.

Heh, for my DPhil I basically relied entirely on Arxiv. There were very few occasions where I'd look at the journal's version of a paper.

It's a little surreal really - all the institutions pay great sums for access to various physics journals, and none of the researches actually have to use it because the web interface for arxiv.org is more convenient!

Well that shit cost a lot of money to develop, which most countries don't have especially nowadays with the current crisis.

Oh I didn't know that. Very cool. Thanks for the information!

Absolutely. In addition is insane they’re just getting started. Finally starting to master production. Going to be a very interesting next decade. People can say what they want of Musk. What spacex accomplished as an organization is nothing short of a miracle. As you said “science fiction”
