    Musk to the Rescue

    That's the bit that really gets me; due to the starliner issues, the two astronauts Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson were left off of the Crew 9 mission. After years of training, it would have been absolutely devasting for them to miss that opportunity, through no fault of their own. And again...

    Musk to the Rescue

    I don't know where to start with this. I'm afraid that is a view that some mainstream media is going with, but planning for space missions takes years. The planning stages for Crew 10 started in 2018. Butch and Suni were never stranded - they always had a way back, even without Starliner, the...

    New Heat link 3rd gen?

    Stupid question, given your experience - is it definitely the Heatlink at fault? Does disconnecting terminal 6 kill the demand? Tapping the Heatlink in the vicinity of the relay may free a sticky one. Alternatively, swapping the relay is relatively straightforward if you have any experience at...

    Hive - zone valves, logic combi ESP1 35

    You may need to be clearer about which old wires you want to remove! :) Personally, I would keep all the wires currently connected to the wiring centre in place - add the new wires to join the existing. Simply remove the batteries from the T3, to temporarily disable it. At least then, you still...

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    From what I can see, there really isn't any need to incite conspiracy theories (at least not yet!). Albeit based on some older reports, about 45% of marine casualties involved collision and of those... Reading through MAIB reports can be fascinating if you're interested in human factors...

    Oil tanker v Cargo ship.

    The tide is a factor to any vessel at sea, though It depends what you mean - a combination of the tide and wind was holding the Immaculate in a position that was (semi) perpendicular to the track of the Solong, allowing the side-on collision. If the tide and wind was in a different direction...

    Help needed replacing extractor fan. Switching issue

    The cable connection to the fan doesn't appear to be made at the switch. Have you looked beneath the ceiling rose? - there could be a clue to the connections there.
