Prayer for you and yours Mike, I hope things gets better soon.

An anime installment in the Terminator franchise, created by James Cameron and available on Netflix. It’s really well done, so if you’re okay with watching an animated series and like the Terminator series it is a good watch, that I quite enjoyed. More so perhaps than any of the later Terminator mov...

The Subbrief guy did a mini-analysis of the sound and suggested that it could be a notification sound that’s bugged and looping.

Audio is available here, it sounds weird:

Thinking about it, ”sonar like noises” makes me think metallic twang/resonance. Might something structural be starting to fail and causing resonating noises?

I wonder what this is going to turn out to be. Boeing's Starliner crew are reporting hearing strange "sonar like noises" emanating from the spacecraft. Crews on the International Space Station are trying to identify the source of strange noises reported by Boeing’s Starliner crew, who cont...

I hope you and yours get through as best you can, my condolences, and best wishes for the future.

A couple of updates on this topic: First off, in June it was announced that the Firefly Alpha launch vehicle will be used to launch satellites from Esrange starting in 2026: SSC and Firefly to launch satellites from Esrange JUNE 27, 2024 SSC and Firefly to launch satellites from Esrange In collabora...

Very neat, and intriguing. I wouldn’t rule out that it’s something manmade. I’ve always thought it a little bit odd that the societies that built large cities/structures in the Americas seemingly always stayed south of the current USA. It would not be an entirely impossible notion that there may ha...

...Trying to confirm, but word is that the crew is there until February and Starliner will be brought down unmanned. Let the finger pointing commence. EDIT: Popping up on TwiX now too.

These kinds of stories always makes me tear up a bit. The military working dog Gaston spent his entire life at Uppland Air Wing F 16. Normally, a dog serves in the Armed Forces for eight years, but together with his dog handler Björn Sollander, Gaston was part of a close-knit, inseparable and stretc...

I’m terribly sorry to hear this, life has a way of really sticking it to us at times. Best of luck, and hoping that you’ll see improvements on all fronts soon.

Just passed the $1 billion mark globally. I hope that the success will aid in pushing Marvel Studios in the right direction going forward.

They’re saying now that the crew members may be stuck on the ISS until February. This is going well.

I thought I’d expand a bit on what I thought of the movie: SPOILERS BELOW! . . . . . . . . . . . . . First off I obviously like the basic concept of the film, essentially a roadtrip movie with Deadpool and Wolverine, off to save the world. There are definitely emotional moments interspersed into thi...

Something I’ve been thinking about, you think there’s a chance that NASA might not even feel comfortable with Starliner undocking from the ISS and flying back empty? Because if they aren’t sure if the thrusters will work properly, wouldn’t they have to consider the possibility that it’d become uncon...
