DD, the editor is messing up on you again. It's okay, Photobucket links are fine. I opened them in a new tab and beheld the yummies.

 

There were a few images of the Launch Tower that I needed to do a double-take on .. my reaction was "wait -- what?!" (in a good way!) ... ahhh ... the concrete mountain finally getting its' upgrades is a welcome sight. :yes: 

 

Thank you for finding those. We all win.

Just did an edit to warn others of my mess....

Now it can be told....

 

The original visiting vehicle schedule was for Cygnus OA6 to fly on March 10, then Dragon CRS-8 with BEAM to fly on March 20. 

 

Now there has been a last minute payload added to the Cygnus OA6 manifest, mandating it to be moved right to NET March 20. This moves Dragon CRS-8 to NET April 1.

 

Orbital ATK ‏@OrbitalATK
Due to additional cargo processing needs from @NASA, #OA6 launch is now set for NET March 20. Will keep you posted on official date.

Does anyone know what happened to the engines of the Jason-3 core? They recovered the Octaweb and some engines appeared to be intact, so some suggested they might test fire the intact engines but I haven't heard anything since. Here are some pictures:

There have been a few long duration tests the last few days, captured by a reddit poster who lives next door. L2 may know, reddit does not. The tests are neat with lots of steam from the water deluge system...almost sounds like cranking out cores and testing, if this keeps up for a while.....:D

Darn it, now I've got ideas for SpaceX T-Shirts and more posters.

 

"WWMD -- What Would Marty Do" with a picture of him and the space tape.

"Marty and the Wonder Workers" -- in the style of those NASA Travel posters to the exoplanets

"Full Thrust" -- A Falcon 9 FT doing a gravity turn in the same style

"Heavy Duty" -- Obviously a Falcon Heavy in the same Travel Poster style sitting on a launchpad

"Visions" -- Elon Musk, looking into the distance at Dragon, Dragon 2, Falcons 1, 9, Heavy, then Mars, then an outline of .. something new. Done in the style of the Travel Posters (maybe).

 

A few other ideas.

 

Wonder how much SpaceX would charge for licencing? And ... would Elon and Marty be okay with using their likenesses?

A poster of Elon with white cat, in the volcano lair, pressing the BFR launch pad button to uncover the lake.   :woot:

Now we're talking. :D Like I said before, as long as I get a name tag, I'll work for him. The people with the name tags don't get attacked by the Secret Agents.

Oohhoooh ... "in development" .... :D 

 

Excuse me whilst I do the happy dance. With pixies. And unicorns. In a field of kittens. While Morgan Freeman narrates. :yes: 

 

 

 

He needs to narrate a SpaceX video.

CRS-8 test stand static fire Friday: good
CRS-8 non-fire mechanical test Monday: malfunction

 

Damage to engine hardware. Checking to see if fast repairs can be made, they need to return it to Hawthorne or need do a stage swap. NASA in the loop.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
