      53. Starship

      53. Starship Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Starship was born out of Elon Musk’s deep-rooted aspiration to make humanity an interplanetary species, a goal that required a spacecraft far beyond the capabilities of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. While those rockets had revolutionized spaceflight through reusability, they were ultimately insufficient for the scale of Mars colonization that Musk envisioned. In response, he launched an ambitious project originally called the BFR (Big F**king Rocket), later rebranded as Starship, a fully reusable rocket…
    • The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet Cover
      by LovelyMay The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet by Stephen McLaughlin is a playful, informative book that serves as a guide to the early days of the internet, offering readers practical advice and humorous insights on how to navigate the online world, connect with others, and make the most of emerging digital technologies.
    • Chapter XXV-Flying Machines Construction And Operation Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XXV-Flying Machines Construction And Operation reflects a pivotal moment in aviation where advancements in engine technology significantly reshaped aircraft design. In the time since this book's initial release in 1910, rapid progress in motor development allowed for aircraft to operate with far smaller wing surfaces than before. This shift stemmed from both a drop in engine weight and an increase in engine power, enabling planes to achieve higher speeds while requiring less lift-generating area.…
    • Chapter IV — Flying Machines Construction And Operation Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter IV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation presents a clear comparison of the three principal types of manned flying machines: aeroplanes, helicopters, and ornithopters. Each model approaches flight through a distinct mechanism, but not all methods yield practical or efficient results. Among them, the aeroplane rises as the most successful, both in design application and operational reliability. Helicopters are recognized for their ability to ascend vertically using rotating blades, allowing…
    • Chapter 7: The Ticker: Confronting—and Preventing—Heart Disease, the Deadliest Killer on the Planet Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 7 of The Ticker delves into the hidden dangers of cardiovascular disease (CVD), emphasizing its gradual development and the critical need for early intervention. The author recounts his personal experience with heart disease, revealing a strong family history of cardiac conditions that shaped his awareness of its risks. Despite adopting a healthy lifestyle, his medical evaluations exposed underlying vulnerabilities, highlighting that CVD is not solely influenced by diet and exercise but is also…
    • Chapter XV — Flying Machines Construction And Operation Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation opens a timely discussion on aviation’s perceived danger, an issue often inflated by public imagination. Early flight stirred both fascination and fear, and this chapter seeks to realign perception with reality. Rather than promoting flight as entirely safe or inherently dangerous, it acknowledges the balance between risk and innovation while encouraging responsibility among pioneers of the sky. The notion that an aircraft becomes a falling…
    • 59. Starship Surge Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Starship Surge became a defining moment in SpaceX's journey toward revolutionizing space travel, with the ambitious goal of rapid rocket reusability taking center stage in July 2021. At the heart of this push was Mechazilla, a towering launchpad structure equipped with massive chopstick-like arms designed to catch the returning booster of Starship instead of relying on ocean landings or complex landing legs. Musk's vision for this innovation was driven by the belief that for spaceflight to be truly…

      RFCs

      RFCs Cover
      by LovelyMay RFCs serve as the architectural blueprints of the internet, shaping the way systems communicate and evolve. Initially, they were simple memos exchanged by a tight-knit group of researchers. Today, they form a globally recognized documentation system that governs internet protocols, innovations, and standards. Every protocol that allows your browser to talk to a website or your email client to fetch messages is based on one or more of these documents. Their legacy lies not just in what they define, but how…
    • Chapter XXVI-Flying Machines Construction And Operation Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XXVI-Flying Machines Construction And Operation offers a focused look into the evolution of early aviation, particularly the gradual but notable shift in American aircraft design. While biplanes had dominated the scene for years, interest in monoplanes began to rise, especially following the success of Curtiss and others at the 1910 International meet at Belmont Park. Though American entries in the monoplane class were limited, Curtiss's own single-wing creation drew considerable attention. His…
