Queer middle-aged guy. I work on radars. Opinions are my own but I'm trying to make them everyone else's problem also.
In my spare time I fence and make music.

The engineer’s credo:
We chose to do this and the other things, not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy.

🧵 A return to the lunar surface by 2028? No. Unless Blue Moon is accelerated (I don't hold out much hope for Starship; the profile is too complex), that won't happen. A lunar base by 2030? That's notional. 1/ www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

NextGenStats has this great stat called completion probability, which basically assesses the likelihood of a throw being completed.
4/5 of Darnold’s throws with the lowest completion probability happened on that overtime drive.
