They don’t have to clone Raptor, just use an open cycle hydrolox and suffer a weight penalty of extra insulation. That will still give them a reusable LEO launch vehicle with tens of tons payload capacity. Raptor is what it is because Space

The 27k vs 30k number is Qantas claiming they don’t need to inspect their planes yet because their planes still have 300 cycles to go. Inspection costs money. It might only take an hour to perform the inspection but that plane will be out o

The author’s point is moot. XML is a markup language intended to convey semantics. By its nature it is a data markup language, because the intent is that a particular type of information lives in specific tags. For humans, this is documents

End of the day, they’re stealing bread. Sending them to a prison colony on the other side of the planet is perfectly justified. No mention of the reason they are stealing bread because reminding the population of the exploitation of the pro

Where did I claim that servicing equipment means washing the equipment with industrial solvents? Why do you feel the need to “scare quote” industrial solvents which is a common term used to refer to toxic and carcinogenic chemicals used in

They also did not test increasing photon flux density of white/filtered light. They only bothered controlling for PFD after introducing filtered light. Sounds like experimental protocol was invented … on the fly.
