I was sad to hear that Glen Baxter died recently... I've long had a soft spot for his gentle weirdness.

Brilliant article analysing the insane rate at with Sora was losing money.
"$15M/day in peak compute costs (analyst estimate) vs. $2.1M total lifetime revenue."
And:
Disney learned about the shutdown less than one hour before you did.

if I have a LITTLE time for personal work, I'll often do something abstract, that I can complete in a couple of hours...
Here's the latest example!
I think I'm going to rework it at higher quality, and make it loop properly.

NK-33, and NK-39 rocket engines.
NK-33 was for the N1, (with the NK-43 high altitude version).
The NK-39 was developed for the advanced N-1F, stage 3 (Block V). It could be restarted.
