Yall.

It has been a constant neverending stream of support from you, fans of All About Android, sharing how much the show meant to you, how it was the first show on your "next up" list, how you've been with us since the very beginning,

Just know that it's equally hard for us not to have AAA as a weekly part of our lives after 13 years. And we can't thank YOU enough for the support that gave us that platform for all those years.

THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your stories.

So happy to have @platypodtripods Pro @idavewilliams back on Behind the Shot. Join us as we discuss his upcoming workshop in Norway, as well as how he made this image.

Considering the fact that his rushed first attempt damaged the rocket, demolished the launch tower, set fire to a national park and showered a town 6 miles away with debris - all b/c Musk thought it would be funny to rush the launch on 4/20 - I don't expect the FAA to give him launch clearance until all those issues are sufficiently addressed.

...

For context, NASA's Pad 39 took THREE YEARS to build a proper flame trench & sound abatement system.

Today @NASA tweaked the power system on Voyager 2 so its instruments could stay online.

The spacecraft is powered by three MHW-RTG (Multi-Hundred-Watt Radioisotope-Thermoelectric-Generator) units.

They used Pu-238 to provide a total of 470 watts at launch, but Pu-238 has a half-life of 87.7 years, so 46 years later the craft is down to ~348 watts.

That they can keep a 50 year-old machine operating on a fraction of its power by making modifications from billions of miles away is AMAZING!
