Loving the announcer's pronounciation of Dr Proctor's first name... Sian is a Welsh name that over here is pronounced "sharn", not "siyann".

I would imagine that that is how Dr. Proctor pronounces it and the announcer was briefed to that effect. In a similar vein, I was named after a Dutch friend of the family named Jan -- pronounced "yon". My parents anglicized the spelling to "Jon" so that I wouldn't get in a bunch of fights growing up but retained the pronunciation.

I worked with an Irish girl named Siobhan (pronounced like shevorn), hearing some of the less travelled English guys trying to say her name was hilarious. As for my Maruszczyk bass...
I spent 3 years in Germany then came home and went to college. I had a lot of laughs listening to mid-westerners here in the US trying to speak German in a German course.
I did some work on a Maruszczyk bass; I can barely spell it, much less pronounce it.
So what's the latest on the launch schedule for the next big Starship + SuperHeavy test? I've lost track lately...
No launch in sight. Probably going to test S20 soonish with a static fire. And the same to B4
The are still working on the "catch" system and the 2 quick disconnect systems.
And still working on the orbital fuel farm.

Yeah, but they don't need the "catch" system for the first launch (sea landings). Just want to keep an eye on the progress.
Ted Turner ordering a flight on SpaceX... "Party of 4: Bob, Carol, Ted, & Alice..."
Neat article on the Mars Helicopter getting a little harder to fly because of seasonal lessening of atmospheric density. I got faith in the little bugger LOL.
Flying on Mars Is Getting Harder and Harder

Yeah. Winter Is Coming. And it's a real b!+ch on Mars.
That camo will really help them blend in with the background in space.
I almost didn't see that guy.

You aren't cleared to see the actual space-camo.
Space force uniforms. A Star Trekish style would be nice by me…

I don't think the red shirts would be too thrilled...

even if you were, you wouldn't (should be made out of that invisibility cloak stuff hehe)
I just watched this vid about future propulsion methods. Nothing "Earth shattering", but some interesting stuff.
