I'm very excited for a return to the moon, and NASA released a lot of details today! It's fascinating to see the nuances that each lander introduces into the plan, such that they have two fairly different plans for Orion depending on which lander is used.

I have to admit I'm still a little perplexed that it's going to take so many launches to make it happen. Both landers need several launches to get enough fuel/boosters in orbit so that their landers can make a translunar injection.

Wow, the list of missing features exactly matches the list of things I don't want and often behaved like pop-up ads on my desktop. Thanks!

Have you played flappy bird before? You keep pressing the button to get it to flap and stay aloft.

Is there guaranteed to be a solution that encloses the cherry? Is Day 8 the first day to have a cherry?

That is probably not true if you are transferring from a community college after two years. It's entering as a freshman direct from high school that has all the barriers.

A line I always remember (from Babylon 5) is: "When I clean my place, all I've done is clean my place. But when I help you clean your place, I'm _helping you_."

tl;dr you should ask your badass partner for strategic help when the entire galaxy is under threat, even if she seems busy.

sqlite does not have native support for a vector-like column type. Extensions like this and sqlite-vec build on the BLOB column type, and provide additional functions to let you efficiently search and manipulate this vector data.

I believe it's free.

It's been really fun following the development of this, Miguel et al have been really open about the design process. A really cool journey for both the UX and the backend. I recommend reading through past blogs if you're interested in Godot or SwiftUI.

Congrats folks!
