I found this insightful. Eager Space has lost a lot of optimism about the program, and argues that SpaceX is now at the dreaded threshold of hubris. The Apollo program faced a similar crisis after the Apollo 1 disaster.

I find myself agreeing, especially with the spreading "block 3 will fix everything" mentality online. It doesn't feel that simple.

Wow, I had no idea! Nor did I know that Vulkan performs so well. I'll have to read more, because this could really simplify my planned build.

Count me as someone who would be interested in a post!

Are you saying that you're running an Nvidia/AMD multi-GPU system, and they can work together during inference? So, your LLM-relevant VRAM is 10gb(3080)+20gb(7900xt)?

Thanks! Time flies.

The static fire (at Massey's) hadn't actually started. Unclear how the ground systems are doing. At least it's a pretty night explosion?

Just sent you a message!

Glad it wasn't just me. That seemed like a ton of venting.

This article is worth the read. Starliner was in an extremely precarious situation that we didn't previously know about.

Petition to make all launch failures this pretty.

It's so disappointing. Now the next person to write valid, honest critiques will have to overcome this author's selfishness to get attention.

Berger suggests that "another launch before this summer seems unlikely".

I think that's speculation rather than reporting, but it's nice to have a non-CEO reference point. Hopefully employees get a breather during this redesign, somehow.

Technology is so fun... Thanks for putting this in perspective!

 

We shouldn't overreact, as Berger points out none of the relevant appointments have been made. It's still a stunning report with huge implications. Here's the full quote:

To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.
