And with that, Long March 10B joins the illustrious club of Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Superheavy, and New Glenn.

Yeah, Greedo couldn’t shoot back at all, on account of him being dead… because he was shot by Han.

I’d love to put the telescopes in space too. No more atmospheric distortion!

Eventually, it will grow bright enough to evaporate all of Earth’s surface water, making our planet uninhabitable within the next two billion years.

Okay, so we’ve got some time to move off-world. We probably shouldn’t procrastinate for more than a few hundred million years, though… :)

Is it? I’ve heard Zillennials use most of these in casual conversation…

Happy cake day!

Roll for persuasion.

Brennan as a Dom DM: Get on your knees.

unless interest was indicated

You don’t think Izzy would be interested?

Any chance you accidentally embedded the wrong video? The title relates to the SWIFT Boost mission, but the video relates to the Artemis III crew.

My immediate thought as well.

That’s not the point. The fun is to try and push the system until it breaks. I don’t need to actually use any of my infinite wishes once I have them. I’ve already had my fun.

If num_wishes is a signed int, wouldn’t it overflow back to -65536? I suddenly owe the genie a bunch of wishes?

This is just a nova, not a supernova

What is the difference between a nova and a supernova?

Edit: Wikipedia seems to classify Type Ia under “super”-nova…

As they orbit each another, material from the red giant sloughs off, falls into the white dwarf and heats up in a process known as accretion. But there is a limit as to how much the white dwarf can take. Once that limit is reached, it erupts in a thermonuclear explosion called a nova.

A type 1A supernova, by the sounds of it.

Ah, you’ve watched the Star Wars Holiday Special, I gather… some things cannot be unseen.

It’s still wild that we managed to put a Lander on Titan. Can’t wait for the Dragonfly mission. Nuclear powered octacopter on Titan. We’re going to learn so much.

Same.
