The MEV-1 successfully docked with a geostationary satellite in 2020. Completed its mission in April, and is on its way to dock with a second satellite. It uses the engine nozzle as a docking port.

What they're saying is starfish is planning the first commercial docking in Low Earth Orbit, which is a really dumb distinction to make.

It's been a shitshow for a over a decade. It's just too big. Las Vegas is the obvious choice if you want it to grow, but San Diego is half the reason to go to Comic-Con. It's a beautiful city with tons of cool areas you could go and unwind from the chaos. Las Vegas is a shithole by comparison.

Plus, God help you if you go outside in your costume. It was 117F/47C today in Las Vegas, and that is typical for the summer.

If only there was some dependable energy source. One that worked equally well at any time of day, and didn't depend on foreign fossil fuels. Something that was so energy dense that you didn't have to refuel it for years and years.

Oh, well, I guess that's just science fiction in Germany. Nothing to be done.

New user: "Hi, everyone. I tried installing Linux and I'm having trouble installing the GPU driver. The screen in just showing command line error and won't go into the desktop"

Linux nerd1: "If you can't figure it out you're an idiot."

Linux nerd2: "Sorry for the trouble you're having. First, you need to type qhqa53892rew_93473jerwqwfkjhqwfyuqfwrkuyg12347iu34h53uy839443yg: -butts / -superobscurecommand. Then decompile the package and manually enter the machine code into ram. Once that's done you'll have to write a custom script and write the code to a new package that uses elements from the driver and a bin library for an old hacked Radeon 9600 driver stored on my friend's personal webserver. You'll have to know ancient sumarian to get into the web server because it's his own custom build. Once you get it running you won't be able to run games or do anything useful, but it'll load the GUI at 640x480 at 4 colors. So my autistic mind will technically consider that a success."

Linux Nerd3: "Here's a dead forum post link from 15 year ago that I lazily copied from the top google search results."

Linux Nerd4: Hello my American comrad! Please do being follow link to my sketchy github download that is not spyware. Will fix problem..
