03:32 <Althego> so tianhe-1 is deployed

03:38 <Althego> The fourth Ingenuity flight from “Wright Brothers Field,” the name for the Martian airfield on which the flight took place, is scheduled to take off Thursday, April 29, at 10:12 a.m. EDT (7:12 a.m. PDT, 12:30 p.m. local Mars time), with the first data expected back at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California at 1:21 p.m. EDT (10:21 a.m. PDT).

03:40 <raptop> \o/

03:41 <RoboFreak> eh

03:43 <RoboFreak> falcon 9 launch in 1 minute

03:53 <Althego> not exactly on center

03:53 <Althego> but landed

03:53 <raptop> Once again the cameras glitch on landing

03:53 <raptop> But also, nice

03:53 <Althego> it looked like they switched from the rocketto the ship intentionally

03:54 <raptop> quite possibly, but I meant the ship camera seemed to glitch

03:54 <Althego> yes

03:54 <Althego> so if they didnt switch we might have seen the landing too from the rocket

03:57 <Althego> i am waiting for a successful 10th landing

04:02 <raptop> So, uh, the first shuttle to sucessfully fly 10 consecutive missions was Discovery in October 1990. (Challenger would have done so in 1986, but its 10th launch was STS-51L)

04:02 <Althego> of falcon 9

04:02 <raptop> Yeah, I'm just grabbing the obvious reusable system for comparison purposes

04:02 <raptop> So about a decade from the first flight to 10th reuse

04:03 <umaxtu> the shuttle was much more complex than F9 S1

04:03 <raptop> Given how ready the shuttles were supposed to be for reuse in 1981, and how it was a capability that was only planned but not really there for the first F9s in 2010, the slower pace seems fine?

04:06 <Althego> hehe, dragon singing despacito

04:08 <Althego> in the usual non spanish :)

04:08 <raptop> Ah, that dragon

04:29 <Althego> ses-2 soon

04:31 <umaxtu> is that a FH launch?

04:31 <Althego> deplot in a few minutes

04:48 <Althego> deploy soon

04:49 <Althego> deployed

08:15 <Mat2ch> Althego: 4:30 in the morning? WTH? :D

08:15 <Althego> hehe

08:20 <Althego> at least some time today evening we should get some ingo on the 4th flight

08:20 <Althego> info

08:30 <Mat2ch> oh no

08:30 <Mat2ch> a new raptor was delivered to the build site.

08:31 <Mat2ch> we all know what that means.

08:31 <Althego> hehehe

08:32 <Mat2ch> And I really want to know what that Historical Marker is.

08:33 <Althego> https://deadspace.fandom.com/wiki/Markers

08:33 <Mat2ch> tfr for today is gone.

08:33 <Mat2ch> Friday or Saturday.

08:33 <Althego> ok, i say next week

08:34 <Althego> this would be the first time they missed the friday with sn15

08:34 <Althego> i predicted next week last week too

08:39 <Mat2ch> the wait is killing me

11:10 <RoboFreak> hehe pika pika

11:22 <kubi> what

11:37 <Althego> (local) leet time

16:09 <Althego> kikkerikii

16:20 <darsie> .

16:21 <Althego> good

16:21 <Althego> i expected that

16:21 <kubi> ,!

16:21 <Althego> but what does it mean

16:23 <darsie> Don't think too much about it.

16:25 <UmbralRaptop> ピカピカ！

16:27 <Althego> there is somebody here with that name

16:31 <raptop> well, yes

16:31 <raptop> I'm pretty sure he's not a pikachu, though

16:36 <Althego> still hours until there is something on the 4th flight

16:39 <umaxtu> Althego, not true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPYeDi2-Fus

16:43 <Althego> masks: free real estate

16:44 <raptop> I guess

16:48 <raptop> ...I guess the whole genome of SARS-2 is a bit too long to fit on a mask, though

19:03 <Althego> tako soon

19:04 <Althego> wah

19:04 <Mat2ch> woh

19:04 <Althego> no heli

19:05 <Althego> https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1387842380427001857

19:05 <Althego> there is something, finally
