This university loves laying people off but has no problem paying a losing football coach $100 million over 10 years

This is frustrating. get your shit together USC. Laying off great talented staff while you pay Lincoln Riley $100 million dollars. What an absolute joke.

Zoom in on the photo and you can see they are rebuilding the flame diverter and several cranes at the water tower

Appreciation post for this gorgeous looking rocket. New Glenn.

It's my favorite looking rocket. I hope to see it in person one day.

Trade carefully and at your own risk. These cornballs have a crazy PR team that is great at hyping up every little thing they do.

If you have ever watched one of their livestreams you'd think they've rediscovered the laws of physics or something.

Is AI Profitable Yet?

I came across this cool website/tool that tracks the spending and revenue from the top AI companies. Amazon is leading with most money spent ($330 billion spent and has only made $22 billion from it).

I recently started following the AI industry so this tool this gave me a visual perspective of how absurd all this spending is getting.

"Why Blue Origin Loses and Rocket Lab Wins" Five years later, was Eager Space right?

Video for reference is here

Five years ago Eager Space published Eager Space predicted Rocket Lab would pull ahead of Blue Origin due to its incremental approach while Blue Origin would struggle with its bureaucratic "old space" culture. 5 years later things seem to be a lot more different.

In his analysis/video Eager Space criticized Blue for trying to make a massive leap from suborbital tourism to a heavy lift rocket. Here is where things stand:

  1. Blue Origin has now successfully reached orbit and reused a booster stage. Although they did have the launchpad explosion we are seeing rapid progress in returning to launch.

  2. Rocket Lab's Neutron that was supposed to be their next step has faced repeated delays and is now pushing to late 2026.

Eager Space, if you see this post I would love to watch a new updated 45 minute video response to your initial video, considering where things stand today.

Thrust Density infographic

A chart comparing the Thrust Density of several rockets.

Thrust Density is the thrust of the stage / area of the bottom of the stage (kN/m^2). It basically aggregates engine power and engine packing into one metric.
