SpaceX set a new record and did a launch at the same tower only 3 days, 22 hours, and 33 minutes after the last launch there. And this was after the launch was rescheduled due to bad weather.
If SpaceX could maintain a pace of once every 4 days for all 3 towers, they would be doing about 274 launches/year! While they clearly won’t launch that fast in the near future, they are gaining steam. And they are working on activating a fourth tower!
Finally, on the last Falcon Heavy launch, this complex beast had to abort the launch because a part had failed. SpaceX swapped out the part and then launched two days later. Imagine how long a regular space organization would have taken to swap out a part!
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was set to launch the Starlink-96 (6−8) mission on Monday, August 7, 2023 at 2:41 AM (UTC).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced a record-breaking $299,997,000 fine imposed on an international network of companies for placing five billion robocalls to more than 500 million phone numbers over three months in 2021.
The fined companies operated as Sumco Panama, Virtual Telecom, Davis Telecom, Geist Telecom, Fugle Telecom, Tech Direct, Mobi Telecom, and Posting Express.
“The enterprise violated a multitude of robocall prohibitions by making pre-recorded voice calls to mobile phones without prior express consent, placing telemarketing calls without written consent, dialing numbers included on the National Do Not Call Registry, failing to identify the caller at the start of the message, and failing to provide a call-back number that allowed consumers to opt out of future calls,” explained the FCC press release.
Juan Maldacena — What is Space-Time?
Posted in futurism
Einstein showed that space and time are essentially the same thing, a single entity called ‘spacetime’. But space and time seem so radically different. How could space and time be literally the same thing? How would spacetime change our understanding of space and time? What are the implications?
