Dragon can also hover & land propulsively, but we use the parachutes for maximum safety https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf

Thrusters are integrated with spacecraft, enabling abort capability all the way to abort for increased safety

@tboneagnoobs Ok

@KlotzAdam @PPathole @AstroJordy @erujabidi Yeah, I feel pretty normal. No symptoms right now. Last week, I had symptoms of a minor cold. I’ve had some brutal flu/cold experiences, but this was mild & hopefully over.

@PPathole @AstroJordy @erujabidi Doing tests from several different labs, same time of day, administered by RN & am requesting N1 gene PCR cycle threshold. There is no official standard for PCR testing. Not sure people realize this.

@PPathole @Mario_Livio Both obv insanely great, too bad they had this pointless argument

Astronaut launch today!

@Mario_Livio No kids though

@Mario_Livio Hell of a wig collection too

@michaelmina_lab It would be great if labs could give people this level of granular feedback in their results

Worth reading this thread if you’re curious about rona testing

@stonkmanup @michaelmina_lab They should be imo. If you get a blood pressure test, they tell you the number, not just if it’s high/not-high. There is not a clear consensus on what Ct value of what cov2 gene constitutes “positive”.

@AstroJordy @erujabidi A little up & down. Feels just like a regular cold, but more body achy & cloudy head than coughing/sneezing. DayQuil rocks.

@michaelmina_lab In your opinion, at what Ct number for the cov2 N1 gene should a PCR test probably be regarded as positive? If I’m asking the wrong question, what is a better question?
