Spaceflight Now SpaceX's fifth Falcon 9 launch in a little more than three weeks delivered 52 more Starlink internet satellites and two small hitchhiker payloads to orbit after a booming blastoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday evening. Around eight minutes after launch, the Falcon 9's reusable booster descended to a bullseye landing on SpaceX's drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the eighth trip to space for this booster. Read our full story: https://spaceflightn... See More he watch the perfect landing so it can be reused! I think the TV said there was a reuse record as well. The Falcon 1st stange hit its 10th trip. That's pretty amazing in itself. -- [Free Energy!] In quantum field theory, the Casimir effect and the Casimir-Polder force are physical forces arising from a quantized field. They are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir. Although the Casimir effect can be expressed in terms of virtual particles interacting with the objects, it is best described and more easily calculated in terms of the zero-point energy of a quantized field in the intervening space between the objects. Because the strength of the force falls off rapidly with distance, it is measurable only when the distance between the objects is extremely small. On a submicron scale, this force becomes so strong that it becomes the dominant force between uncharged conductors. In fact, at separations of 10 nm -- about 100 times the typical size of an atom -- the Casimir effect produces the equivalent of about 1 atmosphere of pressure (the precise value depending on surface geometry and other factors). -- wiki [A project I worked on 5y back aimed to produce an E**2 drive using Casimir energy boosting scrounged ions as working fluid. Pretty small thust but runs "forever". ![]() |
