SpaceX can also reuse their rockets by landing them backwards.

Why do they need to convince low IQ people?

And the different re-entry profile has more velocity and temperature stress. So if their reasoning is wrong (that the failure was due to do lower pressure during the skip) it will very likely fail.

And the next flight will use a different design. I wonder why?

Artemis II is scheduled for re-entry to Earth on April 10th. That is when the heat shield issue will be the most dangerous.

If it fails and the mission fails with loss of life while knowing it went ahead despite the IG report about the heat shield... It might be the end of NASA.

Hopefully it will return safely.


> It might be the end of NASA

If idiots and emotions rein, maybe. Then the centre of gravity for space exploration correctly shifts to Musk and China.


With humans on board? Even if they are not necessary for the actual mission?

You really have no argument except the appeal to authority.

I agree that its not rational, but it's also not boredom. Its simply stupidity and ignorance.

There was an interesting thread on HN yesterday about the safety of the heat shield.

You can always write lisp but most people can read code better that doesnt have that many (((()))))))

I'm sure there's a middle ground which still gives you some of the metaprogramming power of Lisp. OTOH this: https://www.gingerbill.org/article/2026/02/21/does-syntax-ma...

> I do have a suggestion for your app though: Have it compare your basket of goods across different markets in your region to show you the cheapest option.

This is a great idea. I just think the use case is not that big since REWE is the worst in the price/quality ration and just going to another shop would save you more.
