Also: Blue Origin successfully performed their 15th test flight of the New Shepard rocket

They also performed a crew boarding rehearsal before launch and later the crew entered the capsule after landing and made a capsule exit rehearsal. With these successful tests Blue Origin is getting closer the day when people will be able to pay about USD 200,000 for a ticket to space and back Earth in 10 minutes.

Yeah... The exact same storage my inventory program and system is for recording parts of that inventory program that is not known, and that is related to it, and that is represented as not related to it, due to their lack of knowledge when informed about it, in attacks against that inventory which they cannot help about, despite that the communication frame uses those systems and that the storage also is used for it too!

So, again, nothing new there, and, the same attack system, and, the same damage sought from the same attack system against the same storage and the same storage system and inventory programs of those storage including the $700+ / year taxes costs of those systems.

Heh, I tried to focus on what’s not so obvious of the trade. Leverage with the companies (which customers won’t have, because they buy once and you as an agency will buy many times) and the customer feeling that by dealing with you and not the supplier of the service, you will get your hands dirty for him if something goes wrong is part of the trade.

And now I’m off to bed… nighties lovelies!

Also: SpaceX just got another juicy contract from NASA…

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/as-artemis-moves-forward-nasa-picks-spacex-to-land-next-americans-on-moon

The thing is, it’s a closed deal contract, and any overexpenses will be pocketed by SpaceX… which might be risky if troubles arise in the development process. Also today I read a intresting opinion piece about how large it is, actually, the market for the kind of superheavy rockets being developed. Since NASA is developing both Orion and SLS, SpaceX’s Starship might just be redundant if they can’t find a public contract to use it. What kind of private enterprise needs so badly to launch 150 tons into LEO as to pay SpaceX for it? Is there any private money in superheavy launches…?

Greta Thunberg to testify in Congress on Earth Day

Anthony Adragna

Fri, April 16, 2021, 7:17 AM · 1 min read


at an Earth Day hearing on Thursday,

Thunberg, Time’s person of the year in 2019 for her work on climate change, will appear before a House Oversight Committee panel for a hearing entitled "The Role of Fossil Fuel Subsidies in Preventing Action on the Climate Crisis.”

Key context: The testimony will occur as Biden hosts a climate change summit with 40 world leaders. The White House has struggled so far to prod world leaders to bring new commitments to that event.


pushing to pass … $2 trillion-plus infrastructure and climate plan should not expect the climate campaigner to give them an easy time. At a 2019 Senate event, she urged lawmakers “save your praise” and told them “I know you’re trying, but just not hard enough. Sorry.”

The hearing will be the first led by new subcommittee Chair Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken champion of the Green New Deal and climate advocate.

What’s next: The session is slated for April 22 at 10 a.m.

To prevent a global atomic fallout, the US and the Soviet Union signed the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963. The agreement banned any type of nuclear testing.

On August 5, 1963,
representatives of the United
States, Soviet Union and Great
Britain signed the Limited
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which
prohibited the testing of nuclear
weapons in outer space,
underwater or in the
atmosphere. The treaty, which
President John F. Kennedy signed less than three months before his assassination, was hailed as an important first step toward the control of nuclear weapons.

Did you know? The signing of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty on August 5, 1963, took place one day before the 18th anniversary of the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

Well, it’s still pending to see. Currently the heaviest satellites are like 5 or 6 tons and they’re launched maybe once in 3 to 5 years, so it’s not as if there’s a queue of 30 5-tons satellites waiting to be launched by a single superheavy rocket lifting 150 tons at once. Elon Musk talks about the Moon and Mars, but those would be public contracts and NASA already is paying for two heavy systems and they’re likely to want to use them once finished.

Anyway, we’ll see. First SpaceX must finish developing a functional Spaceship rocket.

And now I’m off to bed… nighties lovelies!

Altair BASIC – Microsoft’s first software product made available via GitHub

11:55 am October 23, 2019 By Julian Horsey

Computer enthusiasts, programmers and hobbyists may be interested to know that the discontinued interpreter for the BASIC programming language, Altair BASIC has been published to GitHub. The Micro-Soft Altair BASIC 3.2 source is now available to download offering a chance to experience the interpreter which was first released back in 1975 for the Altair 8800 and subsequent S-100 bus computers. It was Microsoft’s first product (as Micro-Soft), distributed by MITS under a contract. Altair BASIC was the start of the Microsoft BASIC product range.

Micro-Soft Altair BASIC 3.2 source :

– Micro-Soft Altair BASIC 3.2 (4K) – Annotated Disassembly
– Copyright 1975, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Monte Davidoff
– Source: http://altairbasic.org/ compiled by Reuben Harris
– Additional cleanup, relocation by Charles Mangin, March, 2019

“When Bill Gates and Paul Allen read about the Altair in the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics, they understood that the price of computers would soon drop to the point that selling software for them would be a profitable business. Gates believed that, by providing a BASIC interpreter for the new computer, they could make it more attractive to hobbyists. They contacted MITS founder Ed Roberts, told him that they were developing an interpreter, and asked whether he would like to see a demonstration. This followed the questionable engineering industry practice of a trial balloon, an announcement of a non-existent product to gauge interest. Roberts agreed to meet them for a demonstration in a few weeks, in March 1975.

Bill Gates recalls that, when he and Paul Allen read about the Altair in the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics, they understood that the price of computers would soon drop to the point that selling software for them would be a profitable business.[7] Gates believed that, by providing a BASIC interpreter for the new computer, they could make it more attractive to hobbyists. They contacted MITS founder Ed Roberts, told him that they were developing an interpreter, and asked whether he would like to see a demonstration. This followed the questionable engineering industry practice of a trial balloon, an announcement of a non-existent product to gauge interest. Roberts agreed to meet them for a demonstration in a few weeks, in March 1975.

The finished interpreter, including its own I/O system and line editor, fit in only four kilobytes of memory, leaving plenty of room for the interpreted program. In preparation for the demo, they stored the finished interpreter on a punched tape that the Altair could read, and Paul Allen flew to Albuquerque.”

A trial balloon, or kite-flying (used in the UK and elsewhere), is information sent out to the media in order to observe the reaction of an audience.

### Trial balloon - Wikipedia

Trial balloon

Description

A trial balloon, or kite-flying, is information sent out to the media in order to observe the reaction of an audience. It can be used by companies sending out press releases to judge reaction by customers, or it can be used by politicians who deliberately leak information on a policy change under consideration. Wikipedia


Note that, while the development of the interpreter was real, the level at which the development was advanced was not given, since that is a subject which is not false, but that is a subject which the programmer has to analyze to know which steps he wants to do next.

Additionally, since they already had done the analysis of the market and the potential development return, the proposal was valid, however, they needed the resources to pay the programmer, which, are not mentioned.


Note to Editors: Ed Roberts was the founder of MITS and inventor of the Altair 8800, widely credited as the world’s first personal computer. It was featured on the cover of Popular Electronics in 1975, when Paul Allen and Bill Gates contacted Roberts and offered to write software for the machine.
