Weiterer Starship-Testflug endet vorzeitig: Die Rakete kollabiert. Und Elon Musk schwadroniert

Ein weiteres Starship von Elon Musk ist bei einem Test zerstört worden. Würden der Nasa nur halb so viele Raketen explodieren wie SpaceX, sie wäre am Ende. Doch der Milliardär träumt weiter vom Mars.

FAA: Airplanes should stay far away from SpaceX’s next Starship launch

“The FAA is expanding the size of hazard areas both in the US and other countries.”…

@bigzaphod I even had the SuperBit DVD — no extras: minimum video compression — then the Blu-Ray, then it was $5 on iTunes. Boom. So good. #BigBadaBoom

So, earthquake measurement. Everyone knows that the numbers are part of the Richter Scale, yes?

Except they're not. That scale fell out of scientific favour in the 1980s and has been replaced since then by the Moment Magnitude Scale. The numbers are similar for small-to-medium earthquakes but the MM scale is far more accurate about the energy released during the biggest, most devastating earthquakes.

Anyway, the point of this post is that the MM Scale has an upper bound of 10.6. Wikipedia helpfully describes why that is:

The end of the scale is at the value 10.6, corresponding to the assumption that at this value the Earth's crust would have to break apart completely.

Happy Faux Patriotism Day where inconsiderate people set off loud things, and shoot off deadly things- far past any reasonable amount of time and in spite of anyone with PTSD, pets, and/or a general aversion to loud and deadly things.
Hope you're able to watch/read/or make something Spooky despite today. 👻
