Scientists Answer Vital Question: What Happens If You Throw A #PaperAirplane In #Space?
Using a numerical model and an honest-to-goodness wind tunnel, the pair explored what would happen if an A4 "origami space plane" were yeeted out the window of ISS 250mi above Earth. How long would it take the orbit to decay? Would it immediately tip straight down? Would it burn up on atmospheric re-entry, or crash down on Earth with tremendous impact?

Q: How many #Klingons does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Klingons do not fear the dark.
Q: How many #Ferengi does it take to change a light bulb?
A: It depends how much Latinum you are willing to pay.
Q: How many #Starfleet officers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: It depends if it would violate the Prime Directive.
Q: How many #Cardassians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They just try to convince you that there are five lights.

朱雀回收和长征十号的绳网
8/19/2026
去年十二月讲过蓝剑航天的朱雀火箭。名字漂亮的朱雀是世界上第一个完成轨道级发射的液氧甲烷火箭。那时候他们试图回收一级火箭，结果最后差了一点点，坠毁在回收平台边上。
过了八个月，朱雀三号再次试图回收，这下成功了！蓝箭成为世界上第三个成功入轨后回收一级火箭的私营企业（rocketlab尚未成功哦）。
朱雀三号很稳的落地：https://youtu.be/IcnebC7xva4
朱雀三号虽然比猎鹰九号矮一点，但一级火箭的直径大一些，所以运力差不多（有趣的是他们的整流罩都是5.2米的直径，但因为猎鹰瘦，所以显得头大）。朱雀和猎鹰比起来有两个优点，一是不锈钢箭体，二是燃烧后无残留的甲烷燃料。这样朱雀的回收重用会比猎鹰容易一些。spacex经过了猎鹰，到星舰才到这一步，所以蓝箭可谓踩着spacex的脚步一次到位。当然，我觉得猎鹰用液氧煤油和铝合金箭身也不是问题，因为他们解决的首要问题是降低发射成本，只要材料够轻，燃料容易储存就行。
看新闻的时候忽然发现，这居然不是中国第一次回收成功！就在一个月之前，中国航天成功在海上回收了长征十号乙。这个回收更神奇了，不是靠反推和着陆腿，也不是靠星舰的筷子，而是，网！这个网也不是spacex回收整流罩的大网兜，而是一个很神奇的并联机器人系统。只要火箭垂直降落回到这个大的架子里，架子上的机器人就会根据火箭的位置迅速调整挂绳的位置，让火箭可以刚刚好挂住。这个方法的好处是对火箭最后落地那一刻的容错率高，运输也不容易发生猎鹰那样因为风浪太大倒地的惨烈事件。不好处就是这个系统大且复杂，次次回收要运出海也挺麻烦的。

绳系系统具体如何运作的视频：https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/s/NqsQMheuvd
两个落地方式解释得非常清楚的图示来自于华南早报： https://amp.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3364492/chinas-landspace-beats-spacex-steel-booster-recovery-after-orbital-launch
在网上找神奇的绳系系统的时候，不幸划到了一个完全不专业的“科普”，除了外行强行科普谬误的知识之外（which is what I’m doing as well），标题还特别耸动，说长十乙回收抄袭spacex。我捏着鼻子仔细截屏看了下，他们的所谓证据是一个2019年的reddit网页，我就找了找原本的出处（https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/s/EWvpHkIfyk ），这个就有趣了。首先，这不是spacex的方案，而是reddit网友自制的动画，提议spacex用这个系统回收火箭。第二呢，这个帖子也未见的是第一个提出这个想法的人。下面的回帖有人提到哈工大在2019年一月已经提交了一个几乎一样的设计专利。为了核实这一点，我在google patent上找到了，时间点无误 https://patents.google.com/patent/CN109724482B/zh 但他们应该也不是第一个提出这个想法的人，这应该是之前不少人提议过的火箭回收技术，比如2016年也有一个类似概念的专利https://patents.google.com/patent/CN105783610A/zh 而2019这个时间点只不过正好哈工大报了专利发了论文，reddit网友做了模拟动画而已。
这个兔子洞掉得不明不白，我其实挺气的。有些华人博主拼命吹中国，硬要说中国第一，有些则拼命踩，遇事就凉凉说一句人家xxx早就这样了，说抄功课。我看到这两种都挺烦的。认真说起来，中国航天技术确实落后美国很多年。但中国追赶得也很快。就算拿不到第一，那也是很多个第二。 距离需要承认，成就可以骄傲，但吹到天花乱坠是大可不必。
但我更气的是凡有进步必说抄袭。历史上所有的发明都不是灵光一闪出现的，就连电灯泡，也是经历了不少发明家反复试验改良，最后到爱迪生才做出最终的成功版本（就那个版本，嘿嘿，其实也不算特别成功，只不过爱迪生会市场营销而已）。难道每个发明家都要自己从头开始才算吗？如果是这样，全世界的科学研究写论文还搞什么citation，大家都从零做起啊！更关键的，光是idea有什么用？还得做出来而且成功应用啊。从一个创意到最后成功实现，当中经历的无数步努力怎么就不算数了？所以我看到这些说法也是很憋屈的。
我在搜长征十号的照片的时候又看到好些幸灾乐祸的标题说长十回收失败。仔细一看，其实是长征十号甲的技术验证，就是特地飞回到回收船附近直接落海的，免得一不小心砸坏了船。这事儿spacex和blue origin都干过。这些见不得中国航天好，就惦记着看笑话的华人自媒体更讨厌了。我查个资料查得更郁闷了。
