Why doesn't SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy deploy a 1 meter wide metal flap that goes around the whole rocket that replaces the grid fins, and is in 4 distinct segments? This would create enough drag to significantly slow down the booster without propellant use, would give 'steering' capabilities and when not in use, would be flush with the body of the rocket.

All SpaceX would have to develop, is strong motors and rigid hinges, and they would unlock 10x more capability and the booster would look more...

The next version of Astralixi will have a very basic TUI. By very basic I mean just like a toolbar (like MacOS's but more technical) on the top. That's it.

Other than the TUI, there will be the new "chatbot" command, "axinstall", and "axuninstall". As well as any bug fixes.

Any questions?

Ive been on a trip for the past 11 days and will be for the next 17. I unfortunately haven't got much of a chance to work on Astralixi, but I do get some opportunities.

Here's a sneak peak at what will be in the next version:

1. Basic chatbot (hello, goodbye, how are u, etc)
2. Basic TUI
3. Axapp installation support
4. Bug fixes

No Earlier Than September release.

Do you have any interest in space or rockets? If so, the space guild is a great place for you. We have an amazing small community to hang out with and talk space stuff.

So what are you waiting for? Join the space guild!

I plan to run Arch linux soon on my uconsole. I will obviously have Astralixi running on top as the userspace when it becomes daily-drive-able.

What's the best Arch linux setup guide that I can follow for ARM64, thats actually fun and not just following instructions.

My first linux distro was Arch linux in a VM, but i didnt have much fun as I just shot questions and terminal output at AI until I had some success. This time I want to do it without ANY AI intervention.

Anyone here looking for a project to help?

I would be very happy if someone or a few people even made just 2 new commands to add to Astralixi, especially that it is only semi-open source. Just some basic cool command, would make my day.

Please, if you have the time, contribute to Astralixi, by making your own custom commands, by following the contribution guidelines in the readme.

I'm thinking about starting to work on a small humanoid robot as like a companion assistant.

Just imagine it being 15cm tall, having 3 wheels (maybe 4), and being completely autonomous, running an AI model on a pi zero 2W.

Feel free to ask any questions...

Hey everyone!

If you're obsessed with space, rocket engineering, and tech, you should definitely join the Space Guild.

I'm super active in there, and since I upload content on my space channel, I'm really pushing to help build it up into a thriving community—especially since the current owner has been pretty inactive lately.

If you love nerding out over hardware, engine specs, or just tracking the latest missions, we need more people to talk with. Whether you're a complete beginner or a total rocket...

What is your top 5 cool/unique commands (for a command line) that aren't like the simple ones of ls, cd, df, etc.

I need 3-4 more commands to add to Astralixi before the next release. (TUI coming later)

Anyone here done some/lots of model rocketry before? Because I am reaching out to ask if it is possible to have 2 engines or 3 engines at the bottom of your rocket (this is due to engine power regulations in my country)

My this I mean that imagine you are looking down the body tube, there would be three engines all together in a triangular or two engines side by side structure.

If so, how would I ignite them all at once without one igniting before the other(s).

Thanks!

Like, the cloud/data centres are fine for things like google searching, youtube, cyberspace :), netflix, corporate infrastructure, etc.

But things like AI, and data storage should not be handed over to the cloud, for over 80% of people. Most people have simple tasks they use AI for, which they have no reason to use a cloud-run AI model for, and with the average compute (8-16gb memory, etc) the models you could run on them is more than sufficient for the general public, and for power-users, they know how...

If the answer to this question is a No (for you), take this into account: Majority of AI super/heavy users are tech enthusiasts, or just nerds (people like you and me), and if they have the brains to know the impact of corpo-AI, then why are they running cloud AI, or supporting these AI companies in any way.

Running AI models locally has got easier than ever. In just 4gigs of memory you can run Qwen2.5-coder with 1.5B parameters, with 8gb ram you can get 3B or 7B, 16gb you can run 14B parameters (all...

If you were a space/rockets fan, what commands would you want to use as a tool to use that are space-related?

This is for astralixi: https://github.com/Astroxia/Astralixi

930 billion dollars spent on Starship Development in just Q1 2026!

Ive said starship is too ambitious, and im not backing away from that.

Starship would have been much more feasible at like 70m tall with 7m diameter.

I'm thinking of some ideas for commands to add to Astralixi.

What's your favourite linux/windows/etc commands, and why? As they may give me some inspiration.

All confirmed? More can join if wanted.

Join NCART!

NCART stands for Net Cyber Assembly for Rouge Techs

If you are interested in niche tech/space topics you can join NCART.

We are also accepting hackers of all kinds, its like an un-official guild, more of a group of people that have kind of similar interests. (Interconnected community)

If you want to join, just say so as a reply :)

When do you all think, that people will be permanently living in space? Like not on a planet or a moon, but in a spaceship/station permanently?

By people, I mean more than one thousand. I believe that this can be possible by 2050. Up for debate.
