What do you need an announcement for? They’ll have informed the affected subscribers by mail, as they always do, and adjusted the prices on the sign-up page. Who else needs to be informed? I don’t really give a shot about the pricing of a service I don’t use.

Isn’t there like 6-7 parking spots for every car in the us? Taking up 4 seems fine then 🤷‍♂️

Da hat offensichtlich jemand die Rechnung ohne den Hans-Peter gemacht.

The rings are made of small rocks and dust so they don’t reflect a lot of light back towards us, but rather scatter it. So since not much light reaches Uranus to begin with the rings are super hard to spot. Which is why astronomers only discovered that Uranus has rings fairly recently. Iirc they only noticed the rings when they looked at Uranus with a special telescope, infrared maybe.

It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he’s cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that’s worth.

Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don’t actually want to publish the code.

Up to 10 per year as a goal is a joke. US and China launch about 60 rockets a year each. Of course they can’t get even close to that with Ariane 6 because their production facilities don’t allow that sort of production cadence and they couldn’t be bothered to make the rocket reusable. They considered making a reusable rocket more than 20 years ago but didn’t for some reason. Probably to expensive upfront. Even if they started developing one 10 years ago when it became apparent that reusability is the way to go that would’ve been fine but ofc there was too much pushback. This is a crisis of their own making, they had every chance to prevent it.
