They named the service for their target audience: twits. I have of course steered clear since day one.

So Amazon is launching Kuiper on 3 rockets that don't yet exist. Vulcan is close, but without those engines from Blue Origin their rocket isn't flying any higher than the vaporware that is New Glenn. Cool to see Ariane getting some commercial contracts though.

Here's hoping this pork barrel explodes spectacularly so it can be cancelled and NASA can spend its money on actual research and development of transformational space exploration technology.

So Boeing built thousands of airliners with faulty radio altimeters that are accepting interference from more than 200 megahertz away from their own operating frequency.
