if you haven't seen the footage from someone in a passenger jet nearby, it rocks

Think about how much technology evolved to create that scene, to fly nearby and being used to take that video, wow

You can't really see anything in that video. The craft is very small on screen.

I suppose zoom would have some awe factor

But it's awesome enough as is

a 100 meter tall spaceship nearly 6 million pounds carrying nearly a million gallons of fuel for nearly 10 million pounds of thrust for JUST eight minutes

all that to escape Earth's mighty gravity well

pretty freaking amazing to watch even at that distance

Didn't Nokia put a 4G cell node up there?

Who is going to be the first to make a smartphone call from the moon?

Lag won't be too bad, just 1.5 seconds or less

2.2-2.7 seconds of delay due to light speed alone (so maybe a few ms more for electronics and en/decoding).

I had to watch "go at throttle up" on replay on the news in 1986 for the entire year, like almost every newscast

I was only a teenager and it burned into my brain badly

To this day cannot watch any launch with people onboard live

Same. I watched last night, UK time, and I couldn't shake the worrying feeling. I was relieved that they got into orbit. Now I can be a little bit excited until re-entry. That worries me for the same reason.

In the UK as a kid, when Challenger happened, our children's news programme reported it before the mainstream TV.

The event itself was a few years before my time, but after reading about it and eventually watching the historical news footage, the phrase "go at throttle up" also seared itself into my brain, and ever since I flinch when I hear it.

So what happens in a few years when a submarine pulls up some miles off US coast and unleashes 100 super-automated drones to terrorize the country?

Heck maybe not even a sub needed, some smaller country could have an automated tiny raft too small to be seen on radar tow in the drones

They could charge via phantom power from powerlines and will find a way around GPS jamming

I think you could just ship generic robot dogs in a container and have local contractors straw-purchase firearms, 3d-print cradles, and combine them. None of the contractors would need to know what they were doing.

wondering if there's a startup opportunity for lab testing peptide batches somehow

doubt current supplement labs would be up to the task of certifying things injectable

very risky to bypass gut digestion safety in the human body with unknowns

I would expect whomever does the certification for insulin and GLP's would be up for it. existing peptides on the market not counting all the peptides people eat daily in foods

It already exists. There's no reason anyone would know if they never ventured into the backwaters of PEDs for sport, but third-party labs are out there which will send you back a full analysis of any sample you send it, and reputable sellers anyone bothers to actually buy from will reimburse the testing expense provided you publish the results on any number of web forums that exist for the purpose of vetting these sellers on quality and purity of their products. It's nothing like buying heroin from the street or at least it hasn't been since 20 years ago.

Also US MedSpas and other boutique pseudo not-quite-medical clinics will already inject you with just about any peptide other than insulin as well as NAD+ if you feel you need it for some reason. You don't, but they'll still do it.

Solar currently can produce 1% efficiency from a night with a full moon

Imagine if they got that to 10% someday, would be amazing
