So my thoughts on SpaceX's latest failure...

From an engineering standpoint I'm wondering what forces on the upper stage have caused these failures. Is there a lack of vibration dampening? Is the upper stage just too fragile or is it suffering a manufacturing defect when being mated to the 1st stage? Is the hot staging causing damage? A number of ideas run through my brain.

As a leftist seeing a fash company's rocket crash out is satisfying tho. Even if it means certain delays in space faring progress for the US.

Saw a really interesting wall cloud rolling through at 12:50pm, about 15 miles NNE of Pittsburgh. This lead to a radar indicated tornado warning 15 minutes later. I didn't not observe a touchdown or any damage except for what was caused by hail up to nickel Sized.

So I snagged a used laptop that is untested from a thrift shop auction site. It's quite a bit more modern than my wifes old first gen i5 and It's going to be my new project.

I'm going to fix it up and I wanted to document this here so stay tuned.

So fun story. When me and my wife were dating I told her that I was such good in-home tech support that I could keep her laptop running forever.

Her laptop was made in 2012 and is an i5 560m. Its an Acer Aspire 5733-6838. We've been married now for 11 years and her 13 year old laptop is still running and is still my daily driver. She's moved on to mostly using her phone though 😆
