Deployment of 23 @Starlink satellites confirmed
Starbase activities (2025-02-18):
KSC:
I don’t think I would describe either community as particularly active
Eh, the SDF community has 400 users / month, and 3 posts in the past month. For Lemmy, that’s pretty good :)
Maybe just build up the community you like and let the other one be? People should be drawn to the one that shows activity.
Not necessarily. My concern with leaving multiple communities for the same topic open is that it increases confusion for new users and drives them away from the platform. Having a single community for each topic alleviates this.
I think it would be clearer to close the World community to new posts, label it as “dormant” and pin a post directing users to the community on SDF. The World community could always be reopened if the need for a second community arose.
Are there any counter arguments I am missing?
Doesn’t actually vanish, goes to penny maker’s pockets
I don’t think this is quite accurate. While some goes to the penny maker, I suspect most of the value is trapped in the scrap metal value of the coins themselves, which is illegal to profit from.
Welcome! Hope you like it here.
FYI, feddit.nl exists too. You could create an alt account on that site if you ever find the ping times to Canada too slow for your liking :)

It’s more like 16 permutations of 3 modifications:
These can be mixed and matched based on payload mass, size, and target orbit.
Curie circularization burn and payload deployment confirmed!
That would have been quite an event! As it turns out, they ended up launching about four minutes apart, and on opposite sides of the globe :)
Stage 1 landing confirmed! New camera angle from the Bahamas!
Edit: M-vac shutdown.
SECO and kickstage separation confirmed. Circularization Curie engine burn scheduled for T+50 minutes.
MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.
Battery hot-swap confirmed.
Liftoff!
MECO, stage separation, stage 2 ignition, and fairing jettison confirmed.

This Electron is launching with an extended payload fairing.
Glad to see that Northrop Grumman are testing hardware. Hope they determine the cause of the anomaly soon.
