Ah I see. A female rocket. Its like Enola Gay.

Will it or won't it?

SpaceX just blew up its super rocket in a test, car sales are almost certainly down, so why a record "high" performance pay? Has Tesla ever made money?
Good question Ian. Perhaps it's a baby bonus!

Owning more than one house in one city, other than when renting them out, seems excessive - you can only be in one at any time.Is see the Falcon launch seems to have worked well, though, at least so far.
Hurray indeed! Falcon is the rocket, the capsule is called Dragonhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-en...

Ha ha! Probably Enceladus will still be there, but I will pick another moon. NASA are planning to send a submarine to explore the methane ocean. Mind blowing!
Mod
A methane ocean is unlikely. The plumes are (Waite Jr et al., 2006) : 91% H2O, 3% CO2, 4% either N2 or CO (or both) and 1.6% CH4. There are also low levels of ammonia (0.8%), acetylene (0.3%), formaldehyde (0.3%), ethylene, ethane (0.2%), hydrogen, hydrogen cyanide (<0.7%), argon and traces of a number of hydrocarbons of molecular weight up to benzene. There is methane, but not oceans of it.
Mod
Ha ha, perhaps. I saw it on a documentary, so I may have misconstrued. But they were definitely talking about a submarine. Watch this space!
450 sattelittes just observing us? Feel like a celebrity already!
Alexis - they are spying, and you don't spy on celebrities :-) Also, stop and think about the difficulty these things impose on astronomers. How easily will they find the asteroid with our name on it?
Mod
space!
Spies don't study the other direction, and anyway, checking orbital data is really difficult and time-consuming.
Mod
The large-scale phenomenon could be crime prevention , a la Minority Report?
I have been studying large-scale phenomena for 50 years.
Mod
It is a fact. I also study some small-scale phenomena, though quantum physics makes my brain hurt 😁
I conclude that the phenomena of the universe are complex but fascinating - eg black holes, leptons, and fig biscuits.
Mod
They are the easiest to understand. Leptons are sub-atomic particles.
I think I got everything except fig biscuits!!
Ha ha! Bradley, fig biscuits are biscuits made with err figs.
They sound ancient. Moreover, couldn't the giant telescopes be wedged between the satellites?
Being exterminated through loss of habitat and weird Chinese custom is sort of standard rather than news :-(
Mod
Yes, poor pandas. But I wish them luck.

No. The oxygen glow comes from CO2 being fragmented. Actually, it is also possible the glow comes from nitrogen, because it has an excited state that decays with green light, I believe.
Mod
Probably not in my lifetime. Must write a blog post on this matter.
