In my basement I have a SCSI Zip 100 drive in its box, and I'm pretty sure there is a box of Zip disks somewhere as well. I think that the drive has been in that same box since we got R/W CD drives.
We only ever used the Zip for backups anyway, so switching to CDs was easy. When we first got the Zip we thought of it as a removable slow HDD but we ended up not exactly using it like that.
I was in his class for two semesters. It must have been very soon after he moved from U. Delaware to Penn. Being the ignorant person I was, I had no idea who he was!
I remember around that time attending a demonstration from NeXT Computer which IIRC was held in Professor Farber's lab space.
It doesn't help that I live on a dead-end of our local power grid.
I would love for our utility wires to be buried. Our former neighbors were from Switzerland and were shocked that our power lines were not buried.
Of course, at my previous residence the power lines for our subdivision were buried, but they were fed from overhead lines on the main road. Those were knocked down multiple times, but by poor drivers rather than by storms.
The Psyche mission itself is interplanetary (or at least leaving Earth orbit), launching on a Falcon Heavy.
The DART mission to an asteroid launched in 2021 on a Falcon 9, as did a Korean lunar mission in 2022.
SpaceX also launched a car toward Mars once.
I've been using Feedly since then, too, and have been quite happy with it.
Google previously had a great RSS app with Reader until they abandoned it. Why would I want to go back to them for RSS?
And you missed the perfect opportunity for a "Be seeing you" reference.
Clearly he's unmutual.
I bought mine directly from the KSP store back in March 2013, and never migrated it to Steam.
After this announcement I went and made sure I'd downloaded the latest version from the store, just in case. Sadly I haven't played the game in quite a while (since Science arrived I think). Maybe I should correct that.
I likewise switched to Feedly when Google abandoned Google Reader. I have a couple hundred feeds in my list. I won't go so far as to say I wouldn't be browsing the internets without RSS, but I certainly wouldn't have time to cast such a wide net of interests.
RSS is one of the best things on the net, which is why I would not be surprised to see it wither and die.
This rocket was brand new it was the first that would have been SCHEDULED TO REUSE later after this launch.
Wrong.
--quote-- For SpaceX, the private space company owned by Elon Musk, it was the "first launch of [a] flight-proven first stage," the company says. The mission was using the same rocket booster that sent the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station earlier this year. --end quote--
Sorry, but that quote is wrong. The first reused booster is (was?) scheduled to launch SES-10 later this year.
It's very likely the used rockets will have micro fractures everywhere that are nearly impossible to find.
This was not the reused booster stage. That was scheduled to launch later this year.
It was PRN 32 that was retired, not PRN 23.
PRN 32 happens to be SVN (space vehicle number) 23, which was GPS IIA-10 launched in November 1990.
PRN 23 is SVN 60, which was GPS IIR-12 launched in 2004. It is still part of the constellation.
