Deorbit burn. It will still do that, it’s using aerobraking to lower its apogee; same thing Mars missions (such as MRO) have done.

Aerobraking isn’t particularly novel, it’s just the first time the X-37 program is going to try it.

Seriously, I just finished my annual “preventing harassment’ training and there’s a whole section on power differential and how just asking puts employees in a bad spot. Just…don’t.

Same for our adoption. We were fully prepared for her to prefer her confinement space for a few days, but the next day she was walking around very comfortable.

There’s already RFC 1149, updated in RFC 2549.

More like ICMP echo request and reply (ping).

Same here! Excuse me, I think I hear some bots…now where did I leave my autocannon…?

Super Earths, because we know so little about them. They are the most common planet type (based on census from Kepler and TESS), but our solar system doesn’t have one, so we have no idea what they are like. Models and simulations give a few possible compositions, resembling mini-Neptunes, or water worlds with thick oceans, or more like Earth. Maybe all are possible. Earth-like rocky super-earths may be more geologically active than Earth, due to stronger convection and thinner crust. If they orbit a K-type dwarf, they could be candidates for super-habitable planets, with conditions even better for life than Earth.

Same, lady. Same.

Because all US-based launches are done over the ocean. Whether it’s KSC or Wallops which launch to the east over the Atlantic, or Vandenberg which launches south over the Pacific.

Take it even farther, not all species get hammered on the same chemicals. “Barkeep, a glass of your finest room-temperature-aged milk, please!”

I really love it as well, got me thinking that they were trying out the idea of superhabitable worlds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhabitable_planet

Asleep.

Glorious chaos. The game eases you into it with a few races with only 10 or 20 computer-controlled opponents. The first true 99 race was astonishing. I like the way they have everyone abreast in a standing start, and then spread them out with a few obstacles before funneling them onto the actual track so it becomes a rolling start, but without random chance determining the start order.
