Merry Christmas to everyone! I've read a few great stories in here and thought of sharing mine. My childhood Christmas were never that special unfortunately and during my teen years, life was pretty tough. But I do have great memories from all the Christmas I had my wife over the past 20 years. We established a lot of Christmas traditions for our families, since I never had any from my childhood to share. Actually we just finished watching the Raiders of the Lost Ark and spent two hours talking about great cinema and of course me playing the Indiana Jones game from Lucasarts. Oh wish, I could get back in time and play that game for the first time. Not quite the same playing it these days, the magic unfortunately is gone.

So yeah today was a great Christmas day! All the best to the HN community.

What are the odds of this appearing today in HN? I was only looking yesterday about the current status of Potassco, after an entire decade. I then checked if there was anything recently written about it in HN. And behold, today there is a post.

For anyone interested, this museum in Thessaloniki Greece: https://www.noesis.edu.gr/en/ancient-greek-technology/ has a lot of very interesting items. If you ever visit the city, worth going there. I was particularly impressed with Syracusia, the giant ship/castle designed by Archimedes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracusia

Gongrats to Blue Origin, this was great but when compared to SpaceX its like seeing a bicycle ride compared to a Model S Plaid track on Nuremberg.

Lithium mining is an issue and can be improved. Lithium on its own ending up in the rivers and sea when it is a valuable commodity? How is that going to happen?

...which will go through a similar disassembly process and also pollute the environment for as long as it lives.

I haven't used or seen a £50 note for more than 15 years. In a cashless society who is still using these?

Lex (Fridman) has been trying for a while in his latest podcasts to invite scientists to investigate the phenomenon. Treat it like any other scientific exploration, with an open mind and led by data and evidence. Evidence of UFOs does not equate necessarily to alien life. This could be a unique natural phenomenon.

SpaceX seems to have mastered the belly flop. Landing is getting there.

Incredible to watch although landing was a bit rough and Starship is leaning.

What an achievement SpaceX!

Next test?

I am partially from the UK but I imagine you need citizenship to work for a rocket company like SpaceX.

Unfortunately for a lot of us outside the US, this is just a dream.
