Anyone working on NASA SEWP? Is it painful? Here's now to respond to the various volumes with UseRogue.com: SEWP-to-nuts from opening the RFP to exporting, AI accelerates the processes 10x

SEWP extended to Aug 28, WOOHOO! I'm not bidding, so nbd for me, but I know the entire federal IT industrial base breathed a sigh of relief...if you want your next month to be a little less stressful and use AI to respond (and yes, not it in your proposal) check out the walkthrough.

🚀As a #rocketeer, I've had the privilege of meeting many of #Europe's amazing #rocket #teams, each bringing something special to the field. My latest encounter was with the Project Sunride #Rocketry #Team from The University of Sheffield, holders of the UK #SRAD Rockets altitude record. https://lnkd.in/e9AGPvZH When I reached out for an interview, my curiosity was piqued by the exploration of: ⭕ Concentric Tank Architecture for Liquid Propulsion, optimizing space and fuel delivery efficiency; ⭕ Nitrous Self-Pressurization, simplifying the rocket's design by removing the need for separate pressurization systems; ⭕ Piston-Driven Fuel Pressurization, ensuring a consistent fuel flow; ⭕ Steerable Parachute System (Parafoil), a technique I've witnessed in action at #EuRoC, offers precise control over the recovery of rocket components; ⭕ Regeneratively Cooled Engines, a cornerstone for the longevity and performance of liquid rocket engines; ⭕ The Integration of Avionics and Deployment Boards, alongside in-house developed tracking solutions critical for data acquisition and safety. Our conversation extended far beyond these technical marvels, delving into the sheer excitement and joy of rocketry and their plans for the competitions. We shared laughs over anecdotes that could only come from genuine passion and experience, such as the unforgettable #TopGear #shuttle #launch attempt, where a Reliant Robin was ambitiously transformed into a space shuttle, mirroring the boldness and inventiveness found within our own rocketry endeavors. We discussed using the Kerbal Space Program #KSP not just as a game but as a tool for illustrating complex orbital mechanics in a fun and informative way. Humorous tales of launch day catastrophes shared in a distinctly British humor, underscored our chat, highlighting the unpredictable yet thrilling aspects of rocket launches. All my interviews go beyond perfect cameras & mics, or backgrounds; they're about sharing a #passion for rocketry and the joy of discovery. At the core of innovation are not just intellect and skill but also laughter, camaraderie, and a deep love for our work. So, if we occasionally talked over each other, it was all due to "rocketeer excitement"! 📺 Playlist https://lnkd.in/dXShGYsa 👔 LinkedIn https://lnkd.in/dZBjVrny #AerospaceEngineering #RocketDesign #Innovation #RocketScience #RocketLaunch #AerospaceIndustry #Design #Engineering #EngineeringStudent #EuRoC #Interview #Project #Rocketeer #Rocketry #RocketryTeam #RocketryConversation #RocketLaunch #RocketScience #Science #Technology #Space #Aerospace #SpaceIndustry #Students #Team #TeamBuilding #TeamCollaboration #University #UniversityLife #Europe #STEM #RocketCompetition #srad Please 👍like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Curiosity Rover Explores Gediz Vallis Channel (360 View) Drag your mouse or move your phone to explore this 360-degree panorama provided by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover. This view was captured within Gediz Vallis channel, which was likely formed by ancient floodwaters and landslides. After Curiosity drove over a bright stone and cracked it open, scientists discovered it was filled with pure sulfur — something that’s never been seen on Mars before. (The rover has discovered lots of sulfur-based minerals in the past, but not pure sulfur). In the video, a separate image of the sulfur crystals appears embedded roughly where the rock was found; the camera’s view of the rock was blocked by the rover at the time this panorama was taken. You’ll also see Curiosity’s robotic arm, which is raised after drilling its 41st hole at a location nicknamed “Mammoth Lakes.” The sample collected by Curiosity was dropped into instruments in its belly, and will help scientists understand how this area formed. The rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to take this panorama on June 19, 2024, the 4,220th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. It’s made up of 336 individual images that were stitched together. The color has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth.

Captain Kirk: ''Mr. Spock, your home planet Vulcan doesn't exist. It's an astronomical illusion. You're a $#@! impostor, Spock. For all I know, you might be a Klingon in disguise. How does that make you feel?'' Mr. Spock: ''I'm sorry, captain, I do not understand the question.'' 👽 The death of Vulcan: Study reveals planet is actually an astronomical illusion caused by stellar activity | NASA A planet thought to orbit the star 40 Eridani A—host to Mr. Spock's fictional home planet, Vulcan, in the "Star Trek" universe—is really a kind of astronomical illusion caused by the pulses and jitters of the star itself, a new study shows. https://lnkd.in/ehgBrezT #Vulcan #astronomical #illusion #StarTrek #Spock #home #planet #astronomy #exoplanets #sterrenkunde #American #mythology #USS #Enterprise #scifi #impostor #syndrome

#malta I am sharing with you the beta version of a new app I am working on that gives a scientific visual of the impact of climate change on Malta. A swipe to the left reveals the heat map for summer 2019 vs the summer of 2023. As it's visibly noticeable, 2023 features more heat when compared with 2019. The data is formed of longitudinal analysis of both summers, captured by NASA/USGS Landsat 8 & 9 satellites. Comments on the beta are welcome as always. #uhi #uhie #climatechange #climatechangeimpact #globalwarming #heatwaves #adaptation #mitigation #esri #arcgisonline https://arcg.is/0LiPLe0

Interstellar travel remains a tantalizing possibility but presents enormous challenges. The vast distances and time scales involved defy current technological capabilities. Advances in propulsion systems, energy generation, and life support are essential for even considering such voyages. Speculatively, future generations might explore nearby star systems, but it hinges on overcoming immense technical and biological hurdles. The dream of interstellar vacations for our descendants depends on breakthroughs yet to come. #InterstellarTravel #FutureExploration #TechnologicalChallenges

Curious about the new race to the #Moon? Watch this amazing lunar coverage by Camille Elizabeth Bergin, where she breaks it all down for us. The technology and scientific advancements behind space exploration are exactly what hooked me on #space. It makes me sad to hear some people say we should fix our problems on Earth first, or even that the Apollo moon landing was a fake. 😳 Watch this video to learn more about why we should all be excited about returning to the moon and how #spaceexploration benefits humanity in so many ways! ✨
