Edit: Changed thread title to reflect for generic space discussion.

New Glenn Launch

Not sure why the Starship thread got closed, but here's one for discussing Starship's main competitor, New Glenn. The NG-1 mission is scheduled to launch tonight (Jan 11) at midnight CST after many, many delays. They were ready a few days ago but seas were too rough for the landing.

Looks like they're going to attempt to land the massive booster on a drone ship 600 miles off the coast of Florida. If they pull that off, it will be incredible and give Jeff Bezos a little bit of bragging rights over Starship, even though Starship is still way ahead.

New Glenn and Blue Origin have a special place in my heart because my daughter, an ISU engineering grad works on New Glenn and has some software running on a few of the controllers on the booster and second stage. She has a mentor that is pretty high up that is also an ISU grad.

LFG!!!

Just wondering how often posters on here get their teeth x- rayed. My dentist, who is fairly young, insists I get them every year. (Actually wants them every 6 months) I Googled , and it looks like I could get by with every 36 months based on my history- no cavities for 17 years now, no other problems or complaints. Full disclosure, my dental insurance pays for one set/ year, and I’m not overly concerned about the radiation. But if I don’t really need them, why risk the exposure?

Today Alli ran a clinic for my Lewis Central girls wrestling program, and I just want to let everyone know what an amazing job she did!!! She is such a valuable asset to Cyclone wrestling and CRTC we should all be very grateful for her!

She made 40 LC girls wrestlers better today, and I can’t thank her enough!!

As long as others are posting about summer vacation plans, I thought I'd throw mine out there as well.

We have a large group of family members (14-15 people) staying in a large 8-bedroom house along the north shore of Lake Superior near Silver Bay for week in late June.

Any tips/tricks of things to see and do? Planning to do some hiking, fishing, relaxing, and general sightseeing. Youngest is 14, oldest in their 70's.

I've always had a jones for Tombstone. It's definitely NOT the fresh ingredients and quality, but 40-ish years ago my Dad and I used to fish at Woman Lake and there was a tavern there somewhere and after a day of walleye fishing we'd go get a coke (me), a beer (him) and freshly made frozen tombstone pizzas at the bar...

Finally broke down this week to flip the AC on. But that has created the annual household discussion around what’s the right temperature to set day and night. Need CF to crowd source my thermostat settings for me.

dmclone · Jun 17, 2025

We're moving into a new house and I want to start using Home Assistant. Looking for what type of setup to run.

I have a Windows 11 NUC just laying around that I could use.

I have a bunch of smart lights. Some Hue.
The new house has Ecobee thermostat
I have a couple of Google nest Cameras
Today I use Google Assistant to control things and run routines.

I'm going to be buying probably 8 smart blinds from SmartWings. They are giving me the option of ZigBee or ZWave Plus.

Would this be a good use case for Home Assistant?
Should I use my NUC for this purpose? Will i have to constantly be updating it or is this set it and forget it?
Should I use Zigbee or ZWave?
Anything else I'm missing?

WTF and why? Holy cow is this going to be a mess this summer.

Just skimmed the ISU daily after finishing a article. 2 people get hit and run on Friday. 1 dead 1 injured. It was out by north Grand Mall and Walmart
I don't understand how people don't stop after things like that. Hope they catch the person.

clones_jer · Jun 13, 2025

posted on twitter, but maybe worth a thread. we don't have a named ST teams coach again this season correct? "team effort" or whatever?

I know the guy they hired as a ST consultant in 2023 apparently wasn't thought much of, but dang, clearly the best ST season in a long time. Kinda have to expect we stay a middling to bad ST unit this season based on past performance ...
