CNN:
Swift wasn’t designed to be serviced in space, which means that insights from the demonstration could be used for future missions. Well, wut? Posted by: m at August 23, 2026 05:16 AM (odBC9) 22
>> Well, wut?
The Swift satellite's original planned mission was just years. Like a lot of these things, they last far longer than planned (I think this is basically a lowered expectations thing, sometimes). They thus didn't put any thrusters on it and maneuvering fuel. It was also put in relatively low inclination orbit (this makes "rescue" missions a bit more costly) to keep it out of the South Atlantic anomaly where the Van Allen belt dips low. It has been up there for 21 years. But, increased solar activity over the past few years puffed up the atmosphere a bit, increasing drag, so it spiraled in faster than they originally thought.

publius, it's the "which means" part of that quotation that seems ooky.
1) Swift wasn’t designed to be serviced in space ok 2) insights from the demonstration could be used for future missions But 1) does not "mean" 2). Posted by: m at August 23, 2026 05:28 AM (odBC9) 24

I think, assuming they're quoting some NASA or whatever outfit made the LINK spacecraft, something like this. Okay, we're going to try to rendezvous and make a hard link with something in orbit that was designed for that. So we've to figure out how to do that. How to grab onto the thing without damaging it and then thrust it to boost the orbit. So, even though it failed, we learned shit about how to better do it in the future if we try again. The LINK lost attitude control -- the reaction wheels screwed up and it began tumbling. They tried all sorts of tricks to work around it, but to no avail. The problem was likely due to overheating of some of the electronics, I think I saw. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 23, 2026 05:35 AM (w6EFb) 27

A new week looms. I need to work out today to get a start on it. Tomorrow I take big Stirling in to the shop for his rabies shot.

Just before I woke up, I dreamed I was already up and reading the comments for this morning's tech thread, and someone had posted something like "Grumpy and Salty* are usually here by now".
Of course that wasn't posted in this here, the real thread. If it had been, I might be a wee bit freaked out at the prescience. Minds are strange things.

This LINK mission was a high-risk, high reward thing. Isaacman approved it as part of his "attitude change" for NASA. The design to launch time was just 8 months. That's very fast. The old NASA would've never tried it because of the high risk. The old Apollo glory days NASA did take risks. Getting to the Moon before the end of the decade was a risky thing. They did it. Isaacman is trying to get NASA back in that mode, like Elon, who isn't afraid to blow shit up and fail. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 23, 2026 05:42 AM (w6EFb) 35

G & R, I dreamed something about the wedge I use to keep my bedroom door open fragmenting into wooden shards scattered all over my carpet -- a big mess to clean up -- and finding I not only had dirty dishes in the sink, I'd absentmindedly put a Cheez-It into the coffeemaker. On top of that, I appeared to be in a rush because I was working again, though only part-time.

"If we die, we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life." -- Gus Grissom, Mar. 1965
That was the attitude. And he paid that price. This "caution and safety" stuff above all else.

After the fire, Gene Kranz called all his controllers and engineers in and said the following: "From this day forward, Flight Control will be known by two words: 'Tough' and 'Competent'. Tough means we are forever accountable for what we do or what we fail to do. We will never again compromise our responsibilities. Every time we walk into Mission Control we will know what we stand for. Competent means we will never take anything for granted. We will never be found short in our knowledge and in our skills. Mission Control will be perfect. When you leave this meeting today you will go to your office and the first thing you will do there is to write ‘Tough and Competent’ on your blackboards. It will never be erased. Each day when you enter the room these words will remind you of the price paid by Grissom, White, and Chaffee. These words are the price of admission to the ranks of Mission Control." Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 23, 2026 05:56 AM (w6EFb) 45

The cowboy at the beginning of “The Right Stuff” is Chuck Yeager, the legendary lone-wolf test pilot who survived the horrifying death rate among early test pilots (more than 60 were killed in a single month) and did fly the X-1 faster than the speed of sound.

Oh my god, those white dancers formed a swastika!
No, I don't think anyone involved in that video were either ("inclusive or" for those whom that phrase has any meaning) Nazi adjacent/follower/pro. ~6 years after that video, I was in an O-Club in Erlangen listening to a US Army WW2 vet answering questions about how his experiences would grade current Army doctrine. The question that really got a response was the current doctrine around how you handled the dead of an armored vehicle; doctrine was you policed up what was left of your crew mate before your tank was sent back for repair. Since he now knew that the higher command's view had (would HAVE to have been) that "yeah, your driver/loader/tc/gunner is dead; here's the new one. Get back to work; we gotta job to do.", that he had said (with some degree of heat on his part and the limited accuracy of a ~43 year old memory of the event on my part) something along of lines of "Who would want to clean up the bone fragments of person you had lived with and talked with before your vehicle couldn't fight any more?"

TBH, the closest I've been to being shot at in my perspective was my stint in Korea and I was stationed in Dongducheon-si (Camp Casey) in the early 1990s.
I was in 2nd Brigade, 1AD during "Able Archer" and saw the message traffic that the Soviets were watching as well. If that had blown up, none of us would be around to talk about it; it didn't, so we can. So yeah, pretty fucking safe my entire military carrier (out in 1992 or whenever Gulf War 1 released the floodgates). Posted by: Richard Cranium at August 23, 2026 07:32 AM (juea6) 118

It wasn't really about their ratings, it was the specific manner in which Siskel and Ebert agreed or disagreed. Through that, you could triangulate precisely whether a flick would fall within one of the kinds you enjoy or not.
Posted by: SciVo at August 23, 2026 *** In the summer of '84, being no SNL fan, I had no real interest in seeing this new flick about ghost hunters with Aykroyd and Murray. Then I watched Siskel & Ebert on Friday night. I don't recall if Siskel liked it, but Ebert did, and he extolled its "sly humor." "Might be worth it then," I thought, and went to see, and loved, Ghostbusters the next day. Yes, friends would have told me about it and I'd have gone anyway, but Ebert's positive review made me try it earlier.

And the insurance would no doubt have been horrifying since the house had *fuses* instead of breakers, etc. That $450 for an inspection saved me a LOT of dough and trouble.

The Catawba / Wateree / Santee River that flows southward through both Carolinas is damned at several locations. The dam that creates Lake Wateree has a hydroelectric plant within it.

I'm going to nip out on the Book Thread today after the first half hour. Going to an AA meeting at a nearby church at 9:30. One of the ladies at the one I went to yesterday suggested I try this one, which is her "home group." "A lot of the people here," she said, "go to that one too."
It's right by the big Walmart, so I'll scoop up some things there on the way home. Tomorrow I won't have time. I'm bringing big black Stirling to the shop in the a.m. for his annual rabies shot. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 23, 2026 08:30 AM (wzUl9) 188

I suddenly thought I remembered actual Republicans from Maine. So I looked it up. I wonder how the SAVE Act would affect the state. Okay, off to work. Everyone have a great Sunday.
Maine entered the Union in March 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise. No state outside the original 13 colonies has started with more electoral votes – it had nine in the 1820 election. By the mid-19th century, Maine began losing electoral votes, and has had four since the 1964 election.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes.
64, cloudy and damp here at Stately Poppins Manor. Not much on the agenda today other than catching up on some e-mails and relaxing. Got some more feedback on my novel, so will be starting up on editing again tomorrow. I still need to make a cover, but that won't be hard. This is also the 100th anniversary of the death of Rudy Valentino, so perhaps I'll make some time to watch The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

True. But is this a falling-rate environment? The Fed is maintaining the prime rate pretty high. Will I ever have a lower rate available, is the question.
I'm working with a local (Indiana) lender. Does it make sense to go with something like Rocket Mortgage? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius ======== The great inflation from 2020 to 2025 from Biden's malfeasance is baked into interest rates for awhile. Average mortgage rates in the 70's was about 7 percent. The 80's went from 18 to 9. 90's about 8. Even the 2010's was 4.5 percent on average and that was with Fed intervention. I don't see ZIRP happening anytime soon as a consequence. What might happen is a softening of housing market prices which depends on that particular market's supply and demand. Whether you deal with a national lender might depend on the spread between something like Bankrate dot com publishes on mortgage rates and the local. Sometimes you get better rates with a local broker, sometimes not. Posted by: whig at August 23, 2026 08:49 AM (E4rtv) 209

Posted by: Smell the Glove ======= Fools using moral panics always like to declare this or that 'war' because it fools the rubes in their coalition to give them power or keep them in power for a time. It always ends in tears and failures. Reagan's War on Drugs ended up with Bush and crack cocaine. The war on crack begat fentanyl, and so it goes. On social issues, even less 'winning' wars because the very tactics used by governments to 'win' are designed to blow a bunch of money on cronies and create agencies whose existence depends on a growing population of clients.

220 What does it mean for housing prices to "soften?"
Sounds like overpaid real estate agent speak. Do they ever harden? Oops. Posted by: I gotta ask ====== In small towns, local economy like the loss of a major employer, bad farm prices in farming states, floods, or massive new subdivisions being built which depresses existing home prices. Macro causes are when the entire US or regions undergo recession (or even depression). Softening and hardening refer mainly to seller psychology. You are softer on a price if a) you won't suffer a loss, just not as much of a gain, b) desperation sales, c) corporate types often get moving assistance as they have to move with their jobs around the country. Hardline on a price, a) people that believe Zillow, real estate agent fluffing, or other authorities like tax assessments reflects what they deserve to get, b) overvaluing asset based on what they 'need' to get (often retirement being financed by home proceeds), c) those trying desperately to avoid taking a loss.
