Incredible.

The tariffs Trump imposed are just the trade deficit (gross import - gross export) divided by the gross imports divided by 2.

That's it. The entire equation that will plunge this economy into a Great Depression.

Anyone who makes a physics-based precision game in Unity needs to seriously consider porting the game to a different engine or just stop. Unity cannot handle real-time physics with any level of consistency and it makes those sorts of games actually terrible to play.

This semester is PACKED out. 16 credit hours.

After nearly 3 weeks back in Indy with family, I'm getting ready to get back to Arizona!

Though, I think I finally made my decision, once I graduate with my B.S. Aerospace Degree in December, I may move back to Indy to take part in Purdue's post-grad engineering program!

Assuming I get accepted!

I finished my drive from Arizona to Indiana and dear God. The worst drivers I experienced were in Missouri. Left lane campers and morons cutting you off going 10 under the limit as you initiate a pass.

Wish me luck! Starting my drive to Indiana from Arizona driving a truck that I rebuilt the transmission in...

Gonna take a few hundred miles for me to trust it fully!

A bit of a humble brag, but as my 6th semester in college for Aerospace Engineering - Astronautics comes to a close, I'm about to have all A's for the first time!

With classes like Space Systems Engineering and Aerodynamics II (covering supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes) it was a challenge!

As of 12 minutes ago, I am officially 29 years old.

Yay?

Anyone else have their Reddit go down?

We, the US, need to copy Australia and enact compulsory voting laws nationally.

Give an option to abstain for any specific position, but make everyone vote under risk of fines due to not voting. Australia regularly has a 90%+ votership as a result.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

I'm pretty stoked! I got a Yagi-style antenna and 20 dB low-noise amplifier tuned for 1.6-4.0 GHz, and I'm planning on giving it a shot at picking up GOES satellites in Geostationary orbit.

So, we'll see if I can get a beautiful full Earth disk picture from my antenna later today!

Finally got my omnidirectional FM antenna dialed in with my SDR!

This was from NOAA-15 at 7:15PM last night.

Absolutely fantastic imagery now, I even captured the remnants of the bomb cyclone in the top left!

The weird discrepancy was me adjusting gain options to dial in the signal.

Anyone else watching and excited to see Starship IFT-6 take off here in about 4 and a half minutes??

For a first satellite downlink attempt, I feel it wasn't TOO bad!

The image on the left was taken last night by NOAA 15 at 15 degrees max elevation here in Arizona using a dipole antenna and RTL-SDR. The color map was added after. But the clouds came out clear compared to the cloud map I found!

Gonna #promosky it up after my last post!

- Space Systems Engineering (it's my profession)
- Science-y stuffs
- My 1994 Suzuki Cappuccino that I am repairing and modifying
- Fun engineering stuffs
- Video Games, specifically:
- Satisfactory
- Factorio
- Walking along the beach at sunset

Howdy y'all newcomers!

I don't post a ton, but when I do it's almost exclusively content about my tiny car, a 1994 Suzuki Cappuccino (which is undergoing some much needed maintenance and restoration),

space systems engineering,

and just other interesting engineering and science stuffs I enjoy!

I can't talk about the company or anything, but I'm so excited to announce that I just signed an offer for my first internship in Space Systems Engineering! I'll be working on satellites for the first time ever Summer 2025!

December next year I'll have my Bachelor's in Astronautical Engineering!

Anyone else have the type of autism that makes you stop on the side of the road to snap a picture of cool looking sun dogs and other solar refractive phenomenon?

There's very few pains more prolific than when you swap a gasket on a transmission over the course of an hour and the new gasket leaks for no discernable reason...

RTV makes it all okay though lolol

I see peeps are posting interests for mutuals, so I figured I'd share mine!

- Rocketry
- Space Systems Engineering
- Factory-style games (Satisfactory, Factorio)
- Cars, specifically small ones are awesome
- Metal Fabrication
- Computers/Coding
- CAD (CATIA, SOLIDWORKS)
- Long walks on the beach

I'm in college for Aerospace Engineering with a focus in Astronautics and I made a cool model of the Vostok that took Yuri Gagarin to space.

It's pretty basic, but I'm gonna be testing it on a shaker table this week as well as performing some FEA on it to compare against, so it'll be fun!
