Thanks for the reply! Glad to hear that there aren't any technical limitations.

Makes sense to prioritize the breaking changes for Lemmy 1.0, even if its not as visible/exciting. Thanks for all the work that you do!

Do any of you (or other admins) have a Reddit account you would be willing to reveal here? I’ve come across many Redditors who are interested in Lemmy but give up after experiencing issues on signup. I think the ability to have instance admins reach out to users on Reddit directly could be a useful tool in reducing the friction of the Lemmy onboarding process.

Also, could we consider adding a direct link to [email protected] in our sidebar? (In addition to the links to the "Getting Started" guide and Lemmy Support)

Huh, that sounds interesting. Let me know when you find the article.

and perhaps even your species as we know it

Let's hope they're wrong. I want these early spacecraft to be in museums one day.

please don’t let eel-on-musk kill NASA

Is the risk that if Isaacman is not confirmed by the senate, that the administration would appoint someone else?

he thinks he can just drop in SpaceX as a replacement

...which is a ludicrous idea. SpaceX may provide a great ride to orbit, but they are ill-equipped to design and manage NASA's plethora of science programs.

Now I'm imagining bits of the sail bulging out of the rocket fairing like a hastily-packed sleeping bag at the end of a camping trip.

Thanks! Added.

 

During a press briefing following the 332nd ESA Council meeting, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher announced that the agency will publish a call for proposals for the European Launcher Challenge in the coming week.

Announced in November 2023, the European Launcher Challenge is intended to support the development of sovereign launch capabilities and, ultimately, a successor to Ariane 6. While few specifics have been confirmed, early indications suggest the programme will offer multiple awards of €150 million each.

During his annual press briefing in January 2025, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher stated that the agency would publish a call for proposals, which the agency calls an Invitation to Tender, “around the February timeframe.” However, this tentative timeline wasn’t realized. The Director General has now said that the call will be published next week.

Most instances have a support community for discussing technical issues with that particular server.

As each instance names these slightly differently, I thought I'd create a thread to collect as many as possible.

Please comment below with equivalent communities and I'll add them to the list.

I would also recommend that instance admins include a link to their meta/support community in the sidebar of their instance.


On a somewhat related note, do any instance admins still have Reddit accounts they would be willing to reveal here?

If you are an instance admin and are comfortable sharing your Reddit username, please do so below.

 

French launch startup MaiaSpace has secured its first commercial customer, signing a launch services agreement with in-space logistics company Exotrail.

MaiaSpace is developing a small, two-stage, partially reusable rocket called Maia that will be capable of delivering 1,500 kilograms to low Earth orbit when launched in its expendable configuration. With the addition of its Colibri kick stage, the 50-meter Maia rocket will add an additional 1,000 kilograms to its payload capacity. MaiaSpace currently expects to launch the inaugural flight of Maia from the old Soyuz launch facility at the Guiana Space Centre in 2026.

On 20 March, MaiaSpace announced that it had signed a multi-launch agreement with Exotrail to carry its Spacevan orbital transfer vehicle from “as early as 2027.”
