I mean yes, obviously, that’s the point of the mission?
Investigating the potential habitability of Europa is the main purpose of NASA’s Europa Clipper mission
Although I definitely like the “Captain Obvious” type headline better than the usual clickbait
Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.
Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now
I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts
I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.
I think a lot of devs can relate to that
“In the design plans for the system, the word ‘main’ was used inconsistently between the device that sends the electric signals, and the device that receives the signals,” NASA said in a written statement. "On the signal side, ‘main’ meant the main parachute. In contrast, on the receiver side ‘main’ was used as a reference to a pyrotechnic that fires to release the parachute canister cover and deploy the drogue.
“Engineers connected the two mains, causing the parachute deployment actions to occur out of order,” NASA said.
Metal and plastic is easy, controlling cloth is hard
The funniest part is that Bezos got sued into paying Musk by his own shareholders
Let’s spell that out: Bezos is paying Musk to launch his satellites
Not really blowing off, they just don’t have enough gravity to keep it in
sub-Neptunes are susceptible to atmospheric loss. The exoplanets can lose their atmospheres if they don’t have enough mass, and therefore enough gravitational force, to keep their atmospheres. If this theory of atmospheric loss is true and the sub-Neptunes don’t have enough mass to hold on to their atmospheres, they’d likely shrink to the size of super-Earths, explaining the size gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.
So that’s why they called it FIRST
Tbf forks should be separated in the repo view on GitHub from repos you’ve created
Who cares if the program has done its job anyway
This works a lot of the time with the people that don’t really care about the review. With those that do it won’t
Focusing beyond the code - as a developer you will code 20% of your time.
Doesn’t sound like a great software engineer to me
In my company everyone is called Software Development Engineer 🤷♂️
Are you drunk? This is posted by SpaceX official account
Basically, they won’t bother sueing you unless you end up making millions off it
But at that point the program will likely not even be reminiscent of its original form
I think this generalization is far from valid
This is assuming it’s not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there’s a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink
