After deploying the Starlink satellites the decision has been taken to bring Starship home early, that means a deorbit burn over the Indian ocean and a landing North of Hawaii.

After polling engineers, they decided to proceed to orbit, it's now among one of the largest objects ever placed in orbit.

How do computers calculate complicated trig functions such as tangent? I took a look at Intel's 8087 floating-point chip under the microscope to find out. The chip combines two techniques to evaluate the tan function quickly and accurately: polynomials and an algorithm called CORDIC...

Reattached it, did the other one. Checked all the connections, all the linkages and hinges. Lubricated everything. Getting closer to completing this inspection.

I just took the wing off my plane…..
