That's awesome. The article says the meatballs are at a Dutch science museum. Does that mean that they will be sold there? I would love to try them out.

I have a scientific theory and it is this:
A Brontosaurus is skinny on one end, much much thicker in the middle and skinny on the other end.

I must declare I'm even more excited about the attempt to launch SpaceX Starship into orbit, much less than in a year, maybe in a week or somewhat. There's a fair chance for a dramatic 💥 failure, but you know, if at first you fail...

I must declare I am excited about the Artemis mission to the moon in year or so. Absolutely, me too. Long overdue. In many ways we're entering a golden age for astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology, and so it only makes sense that we ramp up manned-space exploration as well. Very cool stuff, a great time to be alive if you're interested in any of this stuff.

“Starship just experienced what we call a rapid unplanned disassembly,” an official said on the broadcast. " Well that ain't good What it looked like to me, was that the rocket tumbled over, out from a controllable attitude, and couldn't recover because the rocket gimbal could no longer compensate for the aerodynamic forces. Anyone who have played KSP knows this situation well. One solution is to never go outside the controllable attitude, another is to change the aerodynamic center by adding tail fins (it doesn't help that the top stage has fins). Why did it happen? I think failing engines may have something to do with it. It may be that inner gimballing engines could no longer compensate the torque from the asymmetry. There is something funny going on there as well, I suspect the rocket need to fly slightly slanted in that situation. Contributing factors can also be that the rocket was in a gravity turn to more horizontal direction. Doing that with such a long and heavy rocket doesn't leave much margins. The loss of the rocket means nothing. It was already obsolete and they wanted to get rid of it. The destruction to the launch platform is much more serious. The clamps held the rocket for too long. My wild guess is because the initial loss of 5 engines meant the force was not great enough to immediately trigger the release.

Well there was something funky going on with the thrust, just a bit i saw the thrust looked smooth and then some popping and almost sputtering from the tail end of the rocket flame. It seemed to do that a few times and then they aborted.

It seemed to do that a few times and then they aborted. Oh, the rocket was falling when they aborted, and had been falling for while. It was in a sort of flatspin. The proper exhaust from the raptor engines is violet. The bright flashes are from metals and shit that burns.

The coloring is a good deal off on this video, but that doesn't matter much. Otherwise it's a good continuous video that shows what I was speculating about above.
Some things are very obvious. You can see that the rocket flies more and more slanted against the direction of the flight, just as I predicted/speculated above. The gimballed engines try desperately to keep it balanced, but ultimately fail. You can see the exhausts angle. Towards the end, the gimbal tries to stop the tumbling, but can't, and probably also fails because their impulse is not "skillful" enough to also cope with the rotational momentum of the big rocket. Some adjustment to the software may be a good idea, but obviously the rocket must be stopped from ever beginning to tumble. When it does, everything is already too late, and with tail fins it won't.
The heavy booster design originally had six tail fins. They obviously figured they could do without them, and save some drag & weight. But with them, the rocket could possibly have reached its planned trajectory, despite the failing engines.
Good news: The engine failures were probably due to damage by flying concrete debris during the start, and possibly not so much because of any unsolved defects in the engines. Rethinking the launch platform in steel and water deluge may solve a lot.

Rethinking the launch platform in steel and water deluge may solve a lot. Yea, I watched Scott Manley's analysis of the footage a few days ago and that was his conclusion as well.
But I do agree, they seem to need a lot more redundant safety measures before that thing can really go anywhere with a payload.

Interesting, apparently milk is better at hydrating than water.
Studies showed that beverages with a bit of fat or a bit of sugar (not a lot just a little bit) hydrates better than plain water.
Coffee also was good as water from your initial cup but after more caffeine enters the system it acts as a diuretic and makes it less hydrating.
DRINK YOUR MILK KIDS!

Thanks, q5tyhj. M87 is more than in one way special. For an example: The Earth rotates indirectly around M87. Here is a video about that (from 4 years ago) and that galaxy in general. It contains cool M87 pictures of that time. I also like the enthusiasm of Rebecca Smethurst in that video. M87: Infinity in your Hand - DeepSkyVideos. Here is an updated one on her own channel, featuring the new image... Black hole image gets AI upgrade (Messier 87* Event Horizon Telescope) - Rebecca Smethurst. And here is one from Anton about the new image... M87 Galaxy Updates: New Blackhole Image, Jet Details and 3d Map - Anton Petrov.

Thanks, q5tyhj . M87 is more than in one way special. For an example: The Earth rotates indirectly around M87. Indeed! Most people will remember the ground-breaking image from the EHT a few years ago- that was M87*, the central supermassive black hole of M87, and one of the most massive SMBH's we are aware of! Very cool stuff. Was also one of the first elliptical galaxies to be identified, iirc. Its also really fucking big. And I love Becky's channel!
