    You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.




  • Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

    One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn’t even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

    My point is that this flight wasn’t $100 out of $1000. It was $999 out of $1000. If the engines burned for a couple of seconds longer, it would have been a stable orbit. But their intended orbit was eccentric and had a low perigee, so that it would reenter after half an orbit.

    Saying a suborbital flight is a partial orbit is like saying a cessna can partially achieve hypersonic velocities

    Starship reached over 26000km/h, it had enough energy to be in orbit if it was in a circular orbit. The orbit was intentionally left eccentric enough that the perigee was within the atmosphere, so that a deorbit burn was not required.

    This is a cessna going mach 4.99 and you’re being pedantic enough to say it was not hypersonic.

    I agree with the rest of what you say though. As fun as it is to watch, Starship is over budget and behind schedule. Elon has over promised (pronounced “lied to get government subsidies”) on timelines and capabilities so much that it may jeopardize the Artemis program. Which makes me mad.
