Blue Origin has not sent a rocket to mars in the sense that SpaceX wishes to send Starships to mars. They have sent a probe. SpaceX has launched probes to far further celestial bodies than Mars.

They have copied the external look of the rockets (which is, for obvious reasons, not protected by ITAR), but to my knowledge no one, China or otherwise, has managed to match the internal engineering prowess nearly a decade later. To say th

These are quite often used in defense and space applications where the flexibility of the DSP allows for custom waveform implementations that would otherwise require incredible CPU processing power or small batch ASICs. The versal fabric wi

This is a difficult question to prescribe an answer for that works for everyone, but the best I personally can think of is "practice". To make that more actionable... My approach in life has generally been to find a project (even

There are a few factors that make this possible: 1. As others have pointed out, the link budget (how much energy loss a particular radio link can handle before it is broken) for D2C satellites assumes a nearly direct line of sight from your

I think “low speed” is quite a relative term here. PCIe serdes lanes are for very high data rate communication (> 1gbps per lane). This is the realm of the Syzygy XCVR standard. The lower speed Syzygy standard, while not operating at the

With many of these types of standards (FMC and Syzygy) it becomes helpful to include some form of memory on the peripheral cards. With Syzygy it is required in order to store some helpful data about the card (product name, manufacturer) alo

Hadn’t expected to see this here! I helped put this standard together while working at Opal Kelly. I think we had some nifty ideas in there (using an analog voltage for peripheral addressing was one of my favorite). It has slowly seen more

If you're interested in the cantenna radar you might also find Henrik Forsten's radar interesting: https://hforsten.com/6-ghz-frequency-modulated-radar.html . It uses largely the same high-level design, but is a bi

I owned the first CAT phone with a FLiR thermal imaging sensor and this was by far my biggest gripe. The hardware felt like it was built to last a decade or longer, but the software was chock full of vulnerabilities from day 1, and I think

While they certainly have some nifty safety features, I don't feel as though they really take safety seriously when they have one of the worst completion rates for the Takata airbag recall (source: https://www.nhtsa.gov&#x2F

For a few years my only vehicle was an old, beat up Volvo station wagon. The door locks were damaged and would only lock ~50% of the time. Since I parked the car on the street I would always check to ensure that the doors were locked by pul

>Quantum computing advances are presumably not an industrial design challenge... Perhaps not, but getting laypeople to care enough about quantum computing to fund its development could very well be.

I believe most of the criticism stems from the fairly eurocentric/whitewashed view of history portrayed by the book. (note: I have not read the book myself, but I've heard the criticism from a number of professors that had)

While the military arms at the time were muskets and bayonets, that was not the only technology available. Many colonial troops had rifles of their own that they used. These rifles were superior to the British musket in many regards and hel

That's not entirely true. There are no CCS DC fast chargers (the type the bolt uses) in much of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and North/South Dakota. You might be able to drive from Seattle to NYC but you'd have to drive pretty fa

I think it's important to point out though that cattle can digest and "convert" a significantly wider variety of plant sources into meat. Our bodies simply can't digest a lot of what they can.

Right, they get the charging free, though I'm not sure that includes unlimited parking once charging is complete (though I haven't actually read the agreement myself either).
