It looks like bikes are parked between the first & second gardens, there might even be more further back!

19·16 days agoInteresting read, this part caught my eye:
Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.
Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.
What is this from? It looks vaguely Dune-y



I was expecting this sentence to be a “bird in the hand” type metaphor.
