See the two sextants on Apollo! Back then, we also experimented with Doppler and other radio techniques. Today, we mostly rely on cooperative radio for cis-lunar space. 2025-10-07T03:26:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0vck8m40xrljxqkvyu7jweph3ql3svefy5lshaj5ex2w3u32325gzyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6efs9gv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv6um9ldak5lwraqkpsy8lfwqel2mpwazvfgxfrvw85j4z8640c5c77909j'>nevent1q…909j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’ve never seen a vortex like this, but my thought is that it’s unlikely to form off the rudder if it’s straight. There’s no asymmetric flow. With that said, it looks like it’s coming off the inboard nacelle pylon, which shouldn’t have asymmetric flow either. Let me see if my aero friends can explain it. 2024-12-28T19:56:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8uy2cknp5a8kq84t59cpxw5vuwhw0prkmmcaxl5d9rkh224dlfrqzyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn69txpmq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0dvwxz2arg57s7xu6amnvf36qrt2zvt20u8t2xgjnpf0y99cv96saj433q'>nevent1q…433q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>wow, that’s coming off the rudder? It sure looks like it’s flowing over the wing. There’s a shadow, and it deflects upward after passing over the wing surface, so I was totally fooled. Do you know why it curves down after leaving the rudder? 2024-12-28T19:49:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp335leqmfy2a8mskku78yae4escn5xj633ar50770jr3ux7kzyrszyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6n6s52j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz0yzgtaz9dp5fm8zd96p2hjll4g3jefvqfedv2udmxcq44w4ehjcysmrp6'>nevent1q…mrp6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Same energy over here.<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/spaceyspace/media_attachments/files/113/618/086/004/321/338/original/22ee80c1c1935d4e.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-08T16:13:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2rm59vq4q8t9vccdf053e4hq22ln95krm9sfd5vp5g3qfs92xkngzyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn65xrea5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvzadymgccgl2rmqwkvtmtxy7p44cpzfnn5vm4ucnrhmezqh4fsucc4prux'>nevent1q…prux</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No?

Especially when society generally thinks that technological leaps are a benefit exclusive to capitalism?<br/><br/>It’s all bad, my friends. I worry that advances under capitalism just aren’t worth it. I really do want to see asteroid mining produce dirt cheap batteries, but I think if it ever happens, we’ll just suffocate under our repressive leaders and poison the planet with unrecycled rare earths. 2024-12-02T16:10:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsttpqy9truxfwv3e2xkrr7wvc9s5uv37dped73mdhgp2vdrh27pvqzyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6xwd0qy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdzknnagh6gar0jvrayph4606lcg5gt0fyn9mdgr0cwmenvautaxsqdh3tp'>nevent1q…h3tp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So what you’re saying is starship make asteroid futures go brr?<br/><br/>Ugh I don’t want angry Cheeto’s apartheid buddy getting credit for something as big as asteroid mining becoming viable.

That seems to be the most rigid challenge to me. Digging, sorting, refining in micro G is solvable, and could wind up matching the planet labs example. The tyranny of the rocket equation, though… that’s not something you can disrupt your way out of.

Maybe there’s a way to convince an NRF chip into sniffing mode? I have an iOS app published by Nordic that shows advertising packets, but once devices are paired, I’m out of my depth. 2024-11-22T12:30:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqsgqd9etp6l0hxt2mcgpqqeas6xc954x8nktgtzwmsdrvawu9lnqzyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6fmu04w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8u2z9s6ge59p55x06ju70xahmqu2e6fjhjanl46rnnmmpe0yzqpgl2w7jq'>nevent1q…w7jq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No clue, sorry! 2024-11-22T12:23:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgnjr36l3pgj8aqxhv0qcqac4et2w0q43df7nmnz0y85nzruxfhuczyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6nnud6l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrg8sch4323syacjfpe6hkfeymml4546aqa72h4v6883g7rm55kdq2tjtxs'>nevent1q…jtxs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’d start with BTLE packet sniffing if that’s something you can do. If it’s unencrypted, you’re off and running. If it is, then decompile the app and go look for the key. If you then get lucky and find commands in an easy to read format, great, but I avoid reading decompiled code at all costs. 2024-11-22T12:16:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp5nn82kfyz8ykhrun6scdw06y5c4qhjkxe63x4596u60yjtt406szyrwfrln0pkl6ef79tl8q30r3u7pdmqeflasfmshc52pznykvwvcn6m4alpv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrw9uhhdkeq99gvvrhnd8lnqdp9mxm2vevdf2s9nflxl920s6j8dshn2s2p'>nevent1q…2s2p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the giant padded areas around snapped windows drives me nuts, and I refuse to use it. 2024-10-22T12:12:53Z
