#Starship issues are the need for many refuelings ⛽ and its height, making it difficult to land on uneven terrain. #NASA does not need Starship's incredible capability, it needs fewer than 10 tons for initial human 🧑‍🚀 missions.
#BlueOrigin's #Mark1 lander is scheduled to launch in early 📆 2026. It will be the largest vehicle to ever land on the #Moon. A modified version could land #humans on the Moon 🌙 this decade https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/10/how-america-fell-behind-china-in-the-lunar-space-race-and-how-it-can-catch-back-up

50 лет первому микрокомпьютеру: Mark-8 и атака клонов Mark-I

Ровно полвека назад, в 1974 году, на базе первого в мире 8-битного микропроцессора Intel 8008 был разработан первый микрокомпьютер Mark-8. Его создал Джонатан Титус, химик-аспирант в Virginia Tech. А мы отправляемся назад в прошлое, чтобы рассказать подробнее об этой разработке и других «Марках» из седой древности — а также почему они все назывались почти одинаково.

Y'know, Hopper is often mentioned as "oh, you know, there was another woman who also did computers and math back in the day", but holy crap, how come nobody ever talks just exactly about what she did?

The #Mark1 is pretty fascinating. It was an electromechanical machine! Half moving gears! Half flashing diodes! And Hopper's writing is very readable. It's like discovering the missing link between Babbage's engines and the Eniac, I'm thrilled to be reading this:

When I'm walking with Jesus and we enter some churches:
"Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!"
