Continuous manned presence on ISS has 25 year anniversary Nov 2, so what a wonderful way these guys have found to celebrate:

ISS in Real Time is an interactive experience that lets you explore the past 25 years onboard the International Space Station.

ISS in Real Time was built by Ben Feist and David Charney. We are both contractors at NASA, but we built this website independently on evenings and weekends just because we like to put good things on the Internet.

I thought it should have its bulk toward the front like most highly-streamlined cars do: But that got me wondering why it seems to be different for land vehicles than for aircraft. Aircraft (even subsonic craft) seem to go with the very pointy nose profile. And that reminded...
Thread 'SpaceX Starship development: 7th flight January 10'
Watch the progress live This is a fully stacked Starship (top) and Super Heavy (bottom). A couple of too-small-to-see cars near the bottom for scale, I also added a Saturn V and the Statue of Liberty for comparison. 120 meters tall, about 5000 tonnes when fully fueled. Twice the mass and over twice the thrust of Saturn V. The largest rocket ever built by mass, thrust, height, and payload capacity. N1 had the largest diameter.[/size] But its size is not the revolutionary part. It is designed...
