    Yes, not really the complete picture of what happened.

    Would have there been actual damage to the system or even destruction if the software did not shut down? Or was the temperature threshold set too conservative? Did the thermal simulations not match the observed temperatures and if so why?

    What's the solution to this problem now for the next flight?

    I think they are missing a "still" in the title...

    Wohoo a proper launch thread. Thank you!

    So for Amsterdam/Berlin timezone that's starting at 20:00 tonight.

    It's been too long since we had an operational European launcher. I hope Vega C and A6 are available and reliable by the end of the year. There is quite a queue of new missions, several of them already had to be launched with SpaceX.

    Some more information in the Guardian:

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/apr/23/australian-taxpayers-paid-466000-for-training-of-nations-first-female-astronaut-katherine-bennell-pegg

    There is currently no mission planned for her as Australia just paid the training cost when she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor.

    Australia would also now have to pay for a ride to the ISS. The tourist ticket info I found was about 30 MUSD but that's including the training I think.

    Musste auch dreimal hingucken. Das wäre selbst für den Postillon zu unglaubwürdig. Sowas kann man sich echt nicht ausdenken. Der eigene Sohn kann halt echt nichts falsch machen... Sonst hätte man ja als Mutter versagt.

    Lol, bitte weiterberichten. Ggf Kamera auf das eigene Grundstück falls der Tonnenotto nochmal kommt? Die [Fahrbahnverengung] Wiedernutzung des eigenen Grundstückes scheint ja Wirkung zu zeigen. Und viel Erfolg und Ausdauer.

    Laut Zeit.de Energie-Dashboard haben wir wohl unsere Gasvorräte zum Trocknen des Festivalgelände geopfert.

    Für die Spende von 100.000 TWh Heizenergie dürfen sich alle Besucher beim Betreiber des Gasspeichers Bierwang in Bayern bedanken.
