I live in an urban-ish area of the NE US. We've had a handful of multi-day outages in our neighborhood over the past decade or so, and they have all been caused by downed power lines.

It doesn't help that I live on a dead-end of our local power grid.

I would love for our utility wires to be buried. Our former neighbors were from Switzerland and were shocked that our power lines were not buried.

Of course, at my previous residence the power lines for our subdivision were buried, but they were fed from overhead lines on the main road. Those were knocked down multiple times, but by poor drivers rather than by storms.

The Psyche mission itself is interplanetary (or at least leaving Earth orbit), launching on a Falcon Heavy.

The DART mission to an asteroid launched in 2021 on a Falcon 9, as did a Korean lunar mission in 2022.

SpaceX also launched a car toward Mars once.

I've been using Feedly since then, too, and have been quite happy with it.

Google previously had a great RSS app with Reader until they abandoned it. Why would I want to go back to them for RSS?

I don't miss Doctor Fun more, but I really do miss it.

Clearly he's unmutual.

I bought mine directly from the KSP store back in March 2013, and never migrated it to Steam.

After this announcement I went and made sure I'd downloaded the latest version from the store, just in case. Sadly I haven't played the game in quite a while (since Science arrived I think). Maybe I should correct that.

I likewise switched to Feedly when Google abandoned Google Reader. I have a couple hundred feeds in my list. I won't go so far as to say I wouldn't be browsing the internets without RSS, but I certainly wouldn't have time to cast such a wide net of interests.

RSS is one of the best things on the net, which is why I would not be surprised to see it wither and die.

Sorry, but that quote is wrong. The first reused booster is (was?) scheduled to launch SES-10 later this year.

This was not the reused booster stage. That was scheduled to launch later this year.

It was PRN 32 that was retired, not PRN 23.

PRN 32 happens to be SVN (space vehicle number) 23, which was GPS IIA-10 launched in November 1990.

PRN 23 is SVN 60, which was GPS IIR-12 launched in 2004. It is still part of the constellation.

That was a planned re-retirement of a really old SV (launched in 1990!) in anticipation of next week's launch of GPS IIF-12.

Galileo launches use a Fregat fourth stage (also Russian) to move the satellite to its mission orbit.

Exactly, and I think this is what the AC was trying to say in one of the earlier responses.

The headline seems as if it is trying to tie this story to all the recent reports of the agency actively weakening crypto algorithms.

It would have been insane to allow classified algorithms to be published along with TCP/IP (unless of course they were willing to declassify).

I didn't watch the video, but read TFA. There, Cerf is quoted to say:
1. “If I had in my hands the kinds of cryptographic technology we have today, I would absolutely have used it,”
2. “During the mid 1970s while I was still at Stanford and working on this, I also worked with the NSA on a secure version of the Internet, but one that used classified cryptographic technology. At the time I couldn’t share that with my friends,” Cerf said. “So I was leading this kind of schizoid existence for a while.”

Maybe he said it in the video, but in TFA he does not say "I wanted to use the classified technology in TCP/IP but the agency denied my request."

Soylent Corporation is always hiring.
