And of course "atabreh" in reverse Polish.

My vote would be to send a big yellow school bus into LEO full of K-12 experimental cube sats. Kids could communicate with it in science class. I'm sure there is enough know-how in the amateur radio community to help pull this off without ongoing expense to SpaceX or NASA. Plus folks at home could point their tracking telescopes at it and the hubble could check in on it at the start of each April.

The payload can be silly and useful at the same time.

I had a similar experience many years ago playing Rogue. I quaffed a potion with a funny name because I couldn't carry any more and it made me feel warm all over. It probably was not as spiritual as yours, but I seem to remember that it was fun and tasted great.

Is it really that hard to divide by three as you read?

delays in the early part of the exponential growth curve simply mean that the curve moves to the right, not that the curve will not be exponential once it gets started. judging future performance on the first few months of production is silly.

A number of other continents too.

He's crying today, because this huge revenue loss could probably have been avoided with a small budget for newer hardware or more redundancy.

And despite that s/he knows who will take the blame for it.

"Sorry we didn't receive your payment, could you try again?"

yeah either that or the test was bullshit

> Thus the actual increase in performance is very, very, very little.

Nope. CAS latencies are measured in clock cycles, so what you are seeing is the latency for the first read remaining at about 9ns. As the frequency increases the number of cycles it takes before 9ns has passed increases as well. Overall observable latency stays about the same for the first read, but you gain from the higher frequency on subsequent reads.

I have a billionaire I would like to nominate for this trip. We can throw in Carrot Top for surprise entertainment, to be revealed sometime after launch.

You really think the people in black masks breaking windows and setting fires on campus were elite Berkley students?

Pettit's Ice Volume Death Spiral graphs are somewhat more understandable, but no less depressing.

I think it's more a case of Musk running a number of companies which are extremely vulnerable to the whims of the federal government, especially SpaceX, and he is acting to protect those. As to his personal beliefs and how hard he may have bite his tounge along the way, I've no idea.
