#Reusability
now there is a headline format with massive reusability potential
Why AI isn't replacing radiologists: models underperform in hospital settings, AI use faces legal hurdles, and the job is much more than image recognition (The Works in Progress Newsletter)

Quality video from CGTN : Why does the reusability of rockets matter?

this is great for reusability
So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?

2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?

3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.

4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?

5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?
a question for the people who write code for money:

if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

of course, the inability to reliably turn your engines on and off (which is what is causing the boostback burn failure) is kind of a bigger issue beyond the impact on reusability

Musk says Starship will "solve full reusability" this year, something he calls "a profound invention."

A bold claim, considering they're still very much working on the "don't blow up randomly" problem with Starship!

Legitimate cases for code reusability:
- as a natural outcome (just write good code)
- as a specification (known long-term needs/roadmap)

Reusability is not an ideal or goal in and of itself.

Another new milestone for rocket reusability.

And folks forget that SpaceX didn’t invent reusability.
The hard work was done in the 90s by the Delta Clipper.

the fans are realizing that they probably won't be able to try for a "catch" on the next test flight, pushing the opportunity for a first complete mission even further out... the whole point of Starship is supposed to be rapid reusability, which doesn't happen until they figure out booster catching

This is so neat - a thermodynamic computer (well, a very simple prototype) made from DNA.

#SST26 Day 22 Winged/Huge
Okay so its not really HUGE but compared to the dropship... this thing is designed to carry an entire self sufficient company of marines, and get them to the ground for combat as soon as possible. Reusability is a secondary consideration. #Spaceshiptember #SST2026

in terms of pure spectacle, that landing was the best show Elon has put on in some time

that said, it also shows that Starship's heat shield is deeply messed up and there is no way they are anywhere close to anything like reusability on this design

I am happy to share that I released my second pattern: «Data-Asset Reusability Pattern», focusing on #EfficientDataReuse.

This chapter explores reusability in data engineering with dedicated sub-patterns. But first, what is data-asset reusability?
Data-Asset Reusability Pattern
Accelerate data engineering development through code and data reuse patterns, from templating to materialization and abstraction.

Two successful missions today! Two more landings. Reusability, reusability, reusability
SpaceX has 4 launches in the next 3 days.

Tomorrow, TD7 from LC-39A and a Starlink launch.

Monday, NSIL GSAT-N2 from SLC-40.

Tuesday, Starship Flight Test 6 from Starbase, TX!

Let’s go! 🚀

they're matching problems maia, it's called code reusability

reusability is necessary to make life multiplanetary

He can tank their lucrative govt contacts with a single tweet. That's why.

Was China there? They've cloned the falcon 9 reusability game.

US trajectory to irrelevancy remains unchanged.

Reusability!!!

MILESTONE STATIC FIRE! Booster 14, after being caught during Flight 7, has conducted a Static Fire test as a major milestone for reusability and potentially could fly on Flight 9!

been watching 'fear the walking dead' and it's lead to me wondering....from a perspective of actual reusability and ease of killing....what would the best weapon be against zombies
