May give that a try next may. I put down ramp seeds last year in the patch of forest behind my house, but no luck yet.

Spanish smoked paprika. Saffron. Ramps. One day I’m going to find a recipe that uses all of them and then I’ll eat nothing else.
NASA doesn’t have nearly the infrastructure to obligate double its existing budget. It’d take 6 months just to figure out how to spend it, and a lot of it would go to anybody that said they could use it instead of to valuable projects. I would support doubling the NASA budget over say 3 years - that’d give the agency time to hire up and develop the pipeline of work.
Any link that avoids the paywall? If not, maybe TechCrunch should be on the “meh” list
Let’s make it turtles all the way down; allow for federation at the community level, subject to the federation guidance at the instance level. If memes@lemmy.world and memes@foo.bar are sufficiently similar to share content and as long as lemmy.world and foo.bar are federated, then content from both communities appears in both communities.
If moderation issues arise or if the communities diverge in interest, they can split. Users can pick either or both communities to interact with. The world goes on.
Of course, I have no idea whatsoever how to do this, and there’s probably a better idea already in the pipeline… but if it works at the macro level I think it’s got a shot at the next level down.
Artemis 3 is good but Artemis IV needs block 1b and probably BOLE. Both have elements of new development.
Cost plus doesn’t make things go faster. The only thing that makes contracts go faster is an award for early delivery, and you can do that with any procurement vehicle. Cost-plus is for when you don’t know what you need. Fixed cost is for when you do. Fixed cost is going to kill you in change fees if you’re wrong, cost-plus will kill you in a bunch of other fees. All tools are useful.
This was always the plan. Back during DAC 2 kickoff meetings for what became the HLS “government reference design”, folks were struggling to figure out how to get back by 2028.
The press conference where Pence said “2024” happened in the middle of those meetings. Shifting to the private model also shifted the inevitable failure to meet that 2024 date off of NASA (who was/is still wiping SLS egg off it’s face) and onto the “service provider”.
With Trump, there was a mandate to do a moon thing before the 2024 election. With Biden, that schedule pressure is gone… so my personal guess on a crewed lunar surface flight is back to 2028. This is a good thing; 2024 was not enough time.
Don’t we have the concept of recess appointments to cover these shenanigans? Wait for congress to recess, fill the posts, rinse and repeat.
