I spent the summer working on a HyperSpectral Image Processing Software! The validation phase of it relied heavily on QGIS’s spectrum analysis plugin, but it didn’t quite click for me. So, I built my own tool in Python. (1/2)

There's diversification, then there is this🫡

Astra have had quite a journey, read about it a couple of weeks back, in Ashley Vance’s book. Its quite surprising they are still active, would be interesting to see how it goes this time.
If anything, Chris Kemp feels very much in line with how he came across in the book.

Don't know where this stupidity comes from, not just from one place but wherever this comes from, its just divisive. No State can do everything on its own, this narrative of State A doing something for State B is useless, the nation exists as one, some resources here some there.

In Tamil Nadu: The state government couldn’t fund Chennai Metro Phase II due to lack of resources, so the Centre stepped in with nearly 65% of the cost (~₹41,000 crore) to get it built.
In Karnataka: The Bangalore Suburban Rail (K-RIDE) is stuck in endless delays because of land acquisition issues. L&T, the contractor awarded the construction, walked away after facing massive losses due to delays, and is now demanding over ₹650 crore in compensation.
In Telangana: Hyderabad Metro, 90% funded by L&T, is on the verge of collapse. L&T is preparing to exit operations due to unsustainable losses, largely caused by the government’s policy of free bus rides affecting metro ridership.
In Maharashtra: Most metro projects came to a grinding halt thanks to political roadblocks imposed by the previous government.
But guess who the average South Indian blames for all this? “Shithole UP”
UP is busy building multiple metro projects on its own, with mere support from the Centre. Yet somehow, the narrative is that the South is funding metros in India’s 3rd largest GDP state.
Look closer, and you’ll see where the real problem lies :)

Naughty Boy has become very well mannered over the years. Went to SSPO without a hitch, on its first such journey, with great precision. What a beautiful evening for the entire planet.

This amazes me to some extent, SpaceX launching its own competitor & Kuiper having to rely on its competitor to get to space. Makes one wonder if its a collaborative race, competition or just pure commerce.
