The Falcon 9 is a marvel of 21st century engineering, and the possibilities it unlocks are truly breathtaking

Electrical engineer who did a stint in aerospace on the payload (satellite) side — 1000%

BCG2, without going into how ridiculously beautifully engineered the Merlin engines are, they’re the reason the Falcon 9 is the first ISS-resupply capable rocket the US has had since retiring the shuttle program in 2011. The Falcon is also a triple redundant and computer-driven system of borderline art

The crown jewel is it is a reusable first stage. One reason why launch is so expensive is that most of the rocket is destroyed during launch. SpaceX can land, recover, and reuse the first stage. The notion of doing that was pure science fiction because of how difficult it is — taking a supersonic rocket down from suborbit and then gently landing it on half a football field. Lowering the cost of launch means more satellites for communication, earth observation, science, manufacturing, etc. It’s truly the dawn of a new age with that capability

Thinking of switching employers.

It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family. I love my family and dread the thought of being far from them. My SO has been transparent about wanting to return to his home country. I don’t want to lose him but I also dread being far from my family. What’s the right call here? Fwiw he’s lived in my home country for about a decade now but has been able to visit his pretty easily (cont)

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

Something has been bothering me for a long time and I want to get it off my chest.

My firm does upward feedback and I asked about 10 of my team to participate so that I could be a better supervisor for them. My results: I got mostly great feedback with constructive points, however along with it I received the meanest, most cold hearted criticism I’ve ever seen (con’t in comments).
