It was all black and janky lookin'. Clearly they didn't repaint it before the 3rd flight. Fuckin' amateur hour shit. I would know, because I've painted a thing or two in my time.What's aesthetically wrong with Falcon 9, Eddie?

That's true, because if it crashes in the ocean the super-heated plume of water vapor won't be visible, unlike a big ol' steam cloud.They should use reflective paint in case it crashes in the dark.
It looks good to me @Strings - now go fuck yourself for drawing me back in. I looked at Rovers past - damn were they assembled tight looking back in the day. I needed the pictures since I'm told I can't trust my geezer memory, despite having been alive at the time all of them were put in use. Them feckers had every seam buttoned down better than the button & tuck in a pimps Eldorado.What's aesthetically wrong with Falcon 9, Eddie?
They just need to land where there is a big bed of bio-luminscent algea in case it's a dark, moonless night.That's true, because if it crashes in the ocean the super-heated plume of water vapor won't be visible, unlike a big ol' steam cloud.

Did you end up going there?haha, i had to go look what it was even about. (cheap travel to iceland for anyone who doesnt want to look back, 99 bucks one way outta east coast airports)
I heard them talking about it on the radio and it sounded very Carl Sagan-ish - - 11 BILLION miles from the sun. . .
fwiw, that's a little more than the distance from the sun to pluto three times,
or the sun to the earth - 118 times.
& while the distance sounds uge! it's nothing compared to the size of the universe.
& it was launched in 1977
Their definition of room temp is 0 c. And that is at a pressure similar to earth's core. Other physicists haven't embraced the results, some aspects of his claim are hard to prove.Scientists develop material that allows for superconductivity at temps currently warmer than the North Pole

All of this per the article.
Yeah, the proposed superconductivity area is only a few micrometers across, trapped between some thick synthetic diamond anvils all around - so cooling is probably a bitch. Only resistance change has been measured directly, the second proof they need is an inferred result by changing the chemical makeup. The last proof is going to be damn hard with those diamonds in the way, since the magnetic/gauss field disruption would decay beyond measurement in an extremely short distance. Probably micrometers.futzing around with pressure is a tricky thing. Yes, its room temp, but at extreme pressures its probably harder to keep those going than it is to just do nitrogen cooling or something and not have it be room temp.
