Good Morning

Tough day today. After 20 years with the same privately held company, I got my pink slip. Yep… sacked, fired, corporate downsizing. Fkn Brutal.
More than a decade on the leadership team, it certainly feels like the company may be positioning itself for a sale & maximizing the bottom line.
Either way, here I am, in my mid-late 40s figuring out the next major chapter of my life.
* Also, please disregard any previous career advice I may have given. That milk did not age well🤦🏻‍♂️

Rough one. One concrete thing: since you're over 40, a severance agreement must give you at least 21 days to consider it before signing, and 45 days if it's a group layoff. So nothing needs a signature on day one.

Best of luck in the future.

Sorry that you were thrown into it this way, but may your next chapter be an even better one.

Seems like that would make it easier to lock people down on rhe internet. Low social credit score? You can't access most of your favorite sites.

SpaceX Falcon 9
The everyday workhorse. 70 m tall, skinny (3.7 m wide). Nine engines, about 1.7 million lb of push. Puts ~23 tons into that near Earth parking orbit. Lands its first stage & flies it again.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy
Three Falcon 9 boosters strapped together. Same height, much wider at the base. Twenty-seven engines, 5.1 million lb of push. Puts ~64 tons into LEO if you don’t reuse everything. The two side boosters usually come home.

SpaceX Starship
The giant. 124 m tall, 9 m wide. Thirty-three methane engines on the booster, roughly 17–18 million lb of push. Designed to put 100+ tons into LEO & bring both stages back. Today 9/28 it flew its first orbital mission with first operational satellites.

LEO = Low Earth Orbit
That’s the “parking lot” just above Earth, about 160–2,000 km up. Most satellites & the space station live there. “Tons to LEO” is the standard way to say how much cargo a rocket can haul into that near Earth orbit.
