SpaceX Starship factory aiming to build five megarockets in 2023
CEO Elon Musk says that SpaceX's South Texas Starship aims to build up to five of the two-stage megarockets in 2023.
SpaceX's Boca Chica, Texas hardware endeavors began in an empty field in late 2018, kicking off Starhopper testing in 2019. In late 2019 and early 2020, the company began building the bones of the factory that exists today, relying heavily on several giant tents ("sprung structures") similar to those used by Tesla. SpaceX has already begun the process of replacing those tents with larger, permanent buildings, but two of the original tents continue to host crucial parts of the Starship manufacturing process.
In terms of useful output, that manufacturing slowed down a bit in 2022. That slowdown can likely be partially explained by the need to move equipment and processes into the first finished section of Starfactory. But in general, SpaceX was simply focused on finishing and testing Starship S24 and Super Heavy B7 – both stages of the latest vehicle meant to attempt Starship's first orbital launch.
Only by late 2022 did Ship 24 more or less complete proof testing, and Booster 7 is still several major tests away from solidifying full confidence in its design. SpaceX has only conducted limited testing with fully-stacked Starships, further reducing the amount of confidence the company can have in the assembled rocket. Lacking the data needed to know with certainty whether the tweaked designs of Starship and Super Heavy are good enough for several orbital test flights, it's thus unsurprising that SpaceX only produced a handful of usable ships and boosters in 2022.

But if CEO Elon Musk's forecast is correct, the company has plans to increase Starbase's useful output in 2023. According to Musk, SpaceX aims to build "about five full stacks" this year, translating to five flightworthy Starships and five Super Heavy boosters.
In 2022, SpaceX finished Booster 7 and built Booster 8, Booster 9, and most of Booster 10. Booster 8 was almost immediately relegated to the retirement yard. Booster 9, featuring some significant design changes, completed a limited amount of proof testing and returned to the factory in early January – likely for Raptor engine installation. The fate of Booster 10 is unclear, but it stands as a prime example of how fast SpaceX can actually build massive Starship hardware when conditions are right. SpaceX began stacking B10 in late October 2022 and the vehicle is just two stacks away from full height three months later.
Booster 9 returned to the factory in early-January 2023.
In the same period, SpaceX finished and immediately retired Starship S22, finished and began testing Ship 24, finished and began testing Ship 25, and finished stacking Ship 26. Booster 9's upgrades partially insulate it from the most disappointing possible scenario, retirement before flight. Even if Booster 7 fails during prelaunch testing or its launch attempt, revealing major design flaws, it's possible that Booster 9's changes have already addressed those weaknesses, allowing it to continue the flight test campaign. Ship 25's fate is even more dependent on the fate of Ship 24.
Fitted with Raptor engines, Ship 25 is set to kick off prelaunch testing in early 2023.
In 2022, SpaceX ultimately produced two "full stacks," with a third (S26/B10) likely to be completed – albeit with a less certain fate – in early 2023. Delivering five full stacks this year – meaning five ships and five boosters that make it far enough to be paired with another and fully stacked – would be a major improvement. However, as was the case in 2022, higher-volume production will remain a risky proposition until the designs of the vehicles being built have been fully qualified.
Given how long it's taken SpaceX to partially qualify Super Heavy Booster 7, it appears that the largest source of uncertainty will remain for at least another month or two, if not well into mid-2023. Starship production has many uncertainties of its own, and all of them are complicated by not knowing if a Super Heavy booster will be available to launch each new ship in a timely fashion.
S24 and B7 are scheduled to debut no earlier than late February or March 2023. (SpaceX)
Ultimately, an entirely different constraint means that "five full stacks" may be all SpaceX needs to build for the next 12+ months. After a long and painful process, the FAA completed an environmental review of SpaceX's Starbase, Texas facilities, permitting a maximum of five orbital (full-stack) Starship launches per year. Starship's FAA orbital launch license, which has yet to be granted, could be even more restrictive. A second Starship pad under construction in Florida is unlikely to be cleared for orbital launches until Starship has proven itself to be moderately safe in South Texas, which could easily take 12-18 months, if not longer.
Combined with the fact that no super-heavy-lift rocket in history has flown five times in its first year of launch activity, a trend Starship seems unlikely to break, SpaceX could practically halt production entirely in 2023 and still have a full year of testing ahead of it while only using Ships 24-26 and Boosters 7, 9, and 10. Unintuitively, that bodes well for a busy 2023 of Starship test flights, as much of the hardware required for three flight tests is already close to completion or almost ready to begin preflight testing.


About the area and "excite Mochimune"
Mochimune is a small port city located 7 min away from the center of Shizuoka City by train.
The area is well known for the beautiful beach facing Suruga Bay and also, for Shirasu fishing that provides one of the freshest Shirasu in Japan. It's in the southwest part of Shizuoka City surrounded by the port, ocean and mountains with kind of nostalgic atmosphere around.
Unfortunately, nowadays due to the number of vacant houses has been increased, the sceneries in the past are disappearing. CSAtravel Corporation and CSA Real Estate Corporation have been working on many projects to vitalize the area since 2017 by utilizing the old houses as tourism resources and starting the web magazine "excite Mochimune" that is dedicated to bringing the rich culture of Mochimune to people around the world.
There used to be the castle called "Mochimune- Jo"on top of the small mountain that overlooks the sea. It was built by the commander Munekore Ichinomiya built in the early 1500s, located near the Tokaido road, Mountains on the back and the sea in front to defense the Sumpu area. (Shizuoka). Although there was the period of wars around, the catsle actually survived as the Mukai navy base through the Shogun Imagawa, Shogun Takeda and Shogun Tokugawa eras.
The history and the culture in Mochimune deeply engaged upon the development of "Mochimune port".
It is said that the Mochimune fishing port originated as a coastal fishery where rich water from the Abe River flows into Suruga Bay at a depth of 2500m.
After that, the annual catch volume decreased every year so the fish port had sized down. Although the huge refrigerator was built in the past, it still remains without being used even once.
As the area around the port gradually progressed, "Mochimune Fishing - Arena" was built in 2002 including the"Hirono coast park"where people having fabulous views of Mt.Fuji and Suruga Bay. It is a popular place for families during weekends.
In 1909, JR Mochimune station was established, 2 stops to the west from Shizuoka Station. It used to be around 3,000 passengers a day and 1.1million passengers a year accessed the station. It's located 5min walk to the beach and easy access to the mountains for a fun hike too. The station has an orange roof that reminds a sense of the good old days, has always been loved by local people.

Henry Marsh is one of the country's top neurosurgeons and a pioneer of neurosurgical advances in Ukraine. Erica Wagner witnesses life on a knife-edge.
It is just after lunchtime on a wet Monday in February when Henry Marsh is finally able to return to the operating theatre in the Atkinson Morley Wing of St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, and begin the work that will save a young woman's life.
Jenny is not long out of her teens; the previous week, she had collapsed – from a haemorrhage, the result of an abnormality in the veins and arteries of her brain. She had been close to death: late at night, Henry had operated to remove a blood clot and save her life. But a later scan showed that the abnormality remained. If the problem was not corrected, she could suffer another bleed at any time. So this will be the second time he has been inside her skull.
While Jenny is prepared, Henry paces the hospital's long corridors. There is time for us to sit and have a sandwich. He is restless: he wants to get on. He didn't get this right the first time. He needs to get it right now.
I first encountered Henry Marsh late one night on my sofa. I was too tired to go to bed, and so kept the television on as one programme ended and another started. This was The English Surgeon, a 2007 documentary by Geoffrey Smith about the work that Henry has been doing for over 20 years now at the Lipska Street Hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine. Following a meeting with Igor Kurilets, a Ukrainian neurosurgeon struggling against the post-Soviet culture of poor resources and entrenched, old-fashioned thinking about medical care, Henry began volunteering his time in Kyiv. He brought not only his skills but equipment that had been discarded – generally for no good reason – by the NHS, packed up in wooden crates he made himself.
It is a remarkable, moving film and I was struck by the humane, caustic eloquence of its subject, which seemed unusual for a man in his profession. At the time I was running the books pages of the Times; I thought that he would make a fine reviewer. I emailed him, care of the hospital, not really expecting an answer, but he replied by return. Sure enough, he proved an excellent addition to my stable – and this month he's published a fascinating memoir, Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery, which is why I'm here with him now, waiting to stand beside him as he operates on Jenny.

NYC is funding vending machines that will dispense clean syringes for those 'disproportionately burdened' by overdoses
Image Source: WPIX-TV YouTube video screenshot
New York City will address the drug overdose crisis by installing public vending machines that will dispense clean hypodermic needles for those "disproportionately burdened" by overdoses.
The project is expected to cost taxpayers $730,000.
Ten public vending machines will be installed in select locations in New York City, and they will be stocked with "harm reduction and wellness supplies" that include clean syringes and the anti-overdose drug naloxone.
In a request for proposals by the non-profit organization installing the vending machines, the group blamed systemic racism and white privilege for unequal access to "resources and opportunities afforded to White people."
Experts say the United States is in the middle of a worsening drug overdose crisis. In a span of 12 months, ending in April 2021, fentanyl overdose became the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, with more than 40,000 deaths compared to 22,000 car accident deaths, 21,000 suicide deaths, and 21,000 deaths from COVID-19.
"We are in the worst overdose crisis we've ever been in in the United States," said Harm Reduction Action Center executive director Lisa Raville. "In a magical world there would be no drugs, but we live here."
New York City health officials reported over 2,000 overdose deaths in the 2021 year alone.
Not everyone is thrilled about these harm mitigation efforts. Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York mocked the program in a tweet from his social media account.
"It's being reported that NYC's latest answer to the drug abuse epidemic is to dispense needles from vending machines like candy. That's on top of new locations around NYC to shoot up," tweeted Zeldin.
It's being reported that NYC\u2019s latest answer to the drug abuse epidemic is to dispense needles from vending machines like candy. That\u2019s on top of new locations around NYC to shoot up. People should be encouraged to get OFF drugs, not having govt load them up w/ tools to use more.
— Lee Zeldin (@Lee Zeldin) 1641245129
"People should be encouraged to get OFF drugs, not having govt load them up w/ tools to use more," he added.
Outraged neighbors in one Brooklyn neighborhood counted more than 200 discarded hypodermic needles found in one garbage can near a public school, according to a WPIX-TV report.
One angry resident told WPIX that drug addicts openly inject themselves in full view of the schoolchildren walking to the school in the morning.

DOD Seeks to Purge Toxic and Unethical Leaders
Oct. 6, 2014 | By Otto Kreisher
The Navy officer leading the Defense Department-wide effort to improve military professionalism after a rash of ethical failures said she is "working with the services to bring toxic leadership to the fore" earlier in officers' careers so bad apples can be purged. The military must be "a culture of unquestioned integrity," said Rear Adm. Margaret Klein, senior advisor to the Defense Secretary for these matters, at the Military Reporters and Editors Association's annual conference in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 3. She noted that cultures change and military "leadership is changing and some [leaders] have failed to adapt." She said she is seeking input from the services and from private industry to find tools the services can use to develop more ethical leaders. "We are not trying to make all the services uniform across the board" but to show them "what programs, tactics, and techniques can be adopted to make better leaders," said Klein. She said her office was not involved in the investigations into the cheating by Air Force missileers and Navy nuclear submarine technicians, but she has been briefed on the findings. She also said she's gotten advice from DOD's sexual assault office on leadership improvement tools.


Today, we talk about something we all feel – fear. Unfortunately, it is accurate to say that there is a lot fear in the world. It is equally accurate to say that we rarely acknowledge our fears openly. This creates unrealised potential, division, and paralysis. If only there was a better way to approach fear.
Great podcast from Hilary Gallo. Would love to hear more on how he dealt with the participans fears at the conference. It seems Hilary was working in a nightmare kind of a job.

This is an acrostic poem. The spirit of exuberant confidence in the Lord is more important than the structure of the Psalm. Many of of its phrases have found their way into devotional worship. David has reached the point of spiritual certainty. The very centre of his being was his praise of God.
He gives a personal testimony. He magnified the Lord and saw that the Lord is good. I enquired of the Lord and He answered me. What an unforgettable experience. He cried unto the Lord and was heard and saved with full salvation. He knew of experience when an angel of the Lord intervened to save not only him but also his people.
He enlarges his theory of deliverance by the illustration of young lions going hungry. Even powerful beasts in their prime have less security of life than those who turn to God for sustenance and enjoy His abundant provision.
(a) Strict avoidance of all falsity of speech (see Matt.5:37).
(b) Activity in doing good.
(c) Perseverance in the quest for peace among men.
If we look at 1 Peter 3:10-12, we see a synopsis of Christian Ethics.
There are two trends in Human Life. On the one hand there is the pursuit of righteousness and godliness, which is bound up with the goodness and power of the Lord. On the other hand is the choice of wickedness and its inevitable doom and leads to ruin.
Ask yourself what path are you going to follow?
Finally as an echo of the initial Testimony, it is impossible for those who trust in the Lord to share in the condemnation of the guilty.
To Thee be all glory and praise, now and ever, unto Ages of Ages. AMEN!

Many seasonal "colds" are actually allergic rhinitis, and will not respond to antibiotics. Seasonal allergic rhinitis happens when pollens and/or particles of plant or animal dander, mold spores, etc., come into contact with the lining of the nose, eyes, or throat. The body's immune system recognizes their presence and starts a reaction to prevent their invasion. In most people this is not a problem. However, in some the immune system is overactive and identifies normally harmless particles as dangerous, producing an excessive reaction that actually causes inflammation. This is known as allergy and the substances causing it are allergens. People are allergic to only certain substances, and the reaction does not usually appear until after several exposures to that substance.
Allergic patients show reduced resistance to respiratory infections, and more severe symptoms when infections occur. Allergies are rarely life-threatening, but often cause lost work days, decreased work efficiency, poor school performance, and a negative effect on the enjoyment of life. Considering the millions spent in anti-allergy medications and the cost of lost work time, allergies cannot be considered a minor problem.
The ENT specialist (otolaryngologist) will do a complete examination of your ears, nose throat, head and neck. Careful evaluation of the sinuses will enable him to determine if infection or structural abnormality (deviated septum, polyps) are contributing to your symptoms.
A number of medications are useful in the treatment of allergy including antihistamines, decongestants, cromolyn, and cortisone-type preparations. The medical management of allergy also includes counseling in proper environmental control. Based on a detailed history and thorough examination, your doctor may advise testing to determine the specific substances to which you are allergic. The methods employed by your otolaryngologists will indicate the materials to which you are allergic, and the degree of your sensitivity to them. The only "cure" available for inhalant allergy is the administration of injections that build up protective antibodies to specific allergens (pollens, animal danders, dust etc.).
Late springtime pollens come from the grasses, i.e. timothy orchard, red top, sweet vernal; Bermuda, Johnson and some bluegrasses.
Certain allergens are always always present. These include house dust, household pet danders, foods, wool, various chemicals used around the house, and more. Symptoms from these are frequently worse in the winter when the house is closed up.

I love tattoos. I think they say so much in so many ways.
I always wanted a tattoo with a special meaning and not one that in 5 years I will regret having. I thought a lot, and finally I decided to do it when I traveled to Argentina last year.
My tattoo is a sakura tree that represents femininity and force. On one of the boughs stands a blackbird, like the Beatles song. All this remind me of my mother who died when I was 5 years old.
Do you like tattoos? Which ones?
So cute!! congratulations for doing it!
I've been having the idea of getting one for a few months now, and i still didnt. im scared! haha.
Soy fanática de los tatuajes, el tuyo se ve muy lindo además de que tiene un significado muy especial.
What you said about the meaning of a tattoo is true, I think you should think of something really worth having in your skin if you want to tattoo it.
Divino tu tatuaje. Un significado muy fuerte!
me encanta tu tatoo... yo hace mucho q quiero hacerme uno pero no tengo valor!! espero animarme pronto!
Amo los cerezos, son arboles hermosos.

Deputy Postmaster General Calls It Quits
Ron Stroman
Two days after it announced its selection of a new chief executive, the U.S. Postal Service's #2 official submitted his resignation, the USPS revealed today.
"On May 8, 2020, Ronald A. Stroman informed the Chairman of the Board of Governors and the Postmaster General of his intention to resign from the Postal Service effective on June 1, 2020," the agency stated in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On May 6, the USPS's Board of Governors announced that it had unanimously chosen Louis DeJoy, a logistics-industry executive and supporter of President Trump, to become Postmaster General. He is slated to replace retiring PMG Megan Brennan on June 15.
Update: A few hours after this article was published, Brennan issued a letter announcing Stroman's resignation, noting that he is "the highest ranking African American in the history of the Postal Service" and that he spearheaded the service's vote-by mail and sustainability initiatives. (Was she praising him or explaining why the Trump Administration supposedly pushed him out?)
Stroman's resignation means he will no longer serve on the Board of Governors, which consists mostly of political appointees.
DeJoy's selection was announced less than a week after David Williams, a former USPS Inspector General, resigned as vice chairman of the Board of Governors -- reportedly because of Treasury Department meddling in what is supposed to be an apolitical agency. The Mailers Hub News newsletter recently referred to Williams as "one of the most qualified individuals ever to serve on the Board."
Stroman has been Deputy PMG since 2011. His more than 40 years of federal service include previous stints as an attorney and executive with the General Accounting Office, the House of Representatives staff, and the departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development.

The combined influences of tensile stress and a corrosive environment can lead to catastrophic failure of susceptible materials by stress corrosion cracking mechanisms (SCC). Often these failures occur after relatively short periods in operation without warning, but with proper understanding and care, SCC can be avoided.
Stress Corrosion Cracking is a material failure mechanism that causes cracking in susceptible material under the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. Besides stress, the environment and material susceptibility variables that effect susceptibility include temperature, solution composition, metal composition (exact composition including tramp elements) and microstructure. SCC manifests in many metals but is typically highly dependent on the particular environment (i.e. some metals show resistance in certain environments that cause cracking in others). For example stainless steels are susceptible to SCC in chloride environments but not in ammonia containing environments, while brasses are not susceptible to SCC in chloride environments but are susceptible in ammonia containing environments. Although SCC is generally limited to metals, it has been known to occur in components manufactured from both ceramics and polymers.
Failure by SCC is frequently encountered in seemingly mild chemical environments and at tensile stress levels well below the yield strength of the metal. The failures often take the form of fine cracks that penetrate a significant distance into the metal, with little or no evidence of corrosion on the nearby surface. The specific environment in which SCC occurs is of crucial importance, where only very small concentrations of the material specific chemicals are needed to produce catastrophic cracking, often leading to devastating failure.
The site of initiation of SCC may be sub microscopic and determined by local variances in metal composition, thickness of the protective film, concentration of corrodent, stress concentration and/or residual stress. The role of the tensile stress is important in that it causes the rupture of protective films during both initiation and propagation of cracks. Specific high concentration environments can occur in crevices where ions such as chlorides can concentrate sufficiently to cause SCC.
SCC crack paths can be either transgranular or intergranular (following grain boundaries), with crack paths dependent on both the microstructure of the metal and the environment. Typically, stress-corrosion cracks exhibit extensive crack branching and proceed in a general direction perpendicular to the stresses contributing to their initiation. However this branching is not always observed, with relatively straight crack propagation paths also being possible, even within the same component.
The mechanism causing stress corrosion cracking is not fully understood and many theories to explain SCC have been proposed. One of the more dominant theories is that SCC is caused by specific species in the environment, being absorbed into, and interacting with, the strained (and hence stressed) material at the tip of a crack or corrosion pit and reducing bond strength at the tip which promotes further crack advance and ultimately failure.
The removal of, or change to any of the factors which drive SCC (i.e. the presence of a local tensile stress, isolation of the material from the environment, changes in material selection to avoid SCC susceptible materials, a reduction in temperature) typically reduces the potential for SCC and are therefore an obvious way of controlling SCC in practice. Material selection and the specification of appropriate materials at the design stage is generally the first line of defence. Lowering of the applied stresses and elimination of tensile residual stresses (or the superposition of a compressive stress field on tensile service stresses) can be used to prevent SCC. Unfortunately the stress threshold at which SCC occurs is dependent on both the material and the environment in question and can vary from as low as 10% of yield to up to 70% of yield stress. Exclusion of the environment (e.g. by coating) or minor changes/chemical additions to the environment can help. The application of cathodic protection has also proven effective in preventing SCC.
Stress-corrosion cracking is a severe and highly undesirable failure mechanism, but with proper identification and understanding failures can be avoided. Unfortunately, misunderstanding of potential effects resulting from sub-standard operation often causes very costly failure and consequent losses.


Whereas I had always assumed that your username was inspired by Prince Valiant and Hal Foster.
Play for the Lord Jesus Christ at international Christian Center church . There was a time that I wanted to change it to gn6196 but the CBR didn't let me so icctrombone is my handle forever more.
Whenever I sing or hear the trucker anthem "Six Days On the Road", I always think of you when it gets to the line, "Now, the ICC's been a-checkin' on down the line."
I wanted a name that would be distinctive and suited to the comic-book world: adventurous-sounding but humorously self-deprecating. I also wanted it to be somehow related to the French-speaking world..
Back when I first encountered you in the old CBR forum, I had never heard of Roquefort cheese, so your username somehow conjured up images of Davy Crockett types, the Texas Revolution and The Alamo. Yeah...no idea why really. Must've been the "fort" part, I guess.
As for my username, when I first joined up at CBR I wanted to take one of my favourite superheroes as my username and going for some variation of Spider-Man seemed a bit boring. So, instead I went for The Confessor from Kurt Busiek's Astro City series, because I absolutely loved the story arc where the original Confessor appeared.
Shakespeare for the win! If you're a fan of Shakespeare (and obviously comics), we'll get along just fine.
Can't believe I never posted on this topic!
How did I miss this thread ?
Very interesting origin stories !
My name is Mark, but my close friends and family have always known me as Hondo.
My dad was throwing a poker party and I was a little 3 year old running around and his friends all gave me sips of beer. Got a little wild, and one of the guys said I was a little Hondo, the hell raising cowboy John Wayne played in the movie of the same name based on a Louis Lamour novel.
Pop called me that and it stuck ever since.
In fact, I'm quite sure most of the other students at the private college I attended didn't know my real name.
That's funny. I always thought Phil Maurice was your real name.
As for mine, I decided to throw my first name out there, hence the Brian part. I began on CBR as Brian Gravity, because Gravity was taken and that was a name I was using on message boards at the time. When CCF came around I changed it to Bronze Age Brian (my favorite comics era) up until recently when I felt it's just too long. So now I'm just going with an abbreviation of that, which is bab.
brutalis was given to me by my best friend in college. I grew up being Bruce the moose but once college came along a bunch of us got into Dungeons and Dragons. My friends character was Thesdian the Bone Crusher and for my 1st game we teamed up. As i am such a quiet, respectful and honest person in real life we went the opposite for my character. I became Brutalis the brutal one from Gaul so me and my barbarian brother would get into character and rampage during the gaming. Other's heard him calling me brutal or brutalis at work and it stuck. Been a berserk barbarian ever since.
But to us old timers you'll always be the one and only Bronze Age Brian!
Of course I always read Brian Gravity as Brain Gravity and thought it was a trippy twist on things. Yay for my reading skills...not.
You weren't the only one lol. People on youtube were calling me Brain Gravity also.
Thanks Roquefort for the good words. Making me want to switch back to the full name again.
Icctrombone will kill me though! (hope you get this reference Icc).
I have 2 cups in the morning and an occasional cup in the afternoon for a quick pick up! ... I like your response here short and sweet.
1) It was the accidental find of a rare X-Men 13 book a mere 3 months ago of which I found this comic book and I had it appraised at my local comic book store of which a professional appraiser of comic book declared this issue worth $1,150 of which I did not know that I had all these years because I did not want to bother with the hundreds and hundreds of Fantastic Four issues that I had and I wanted to sort them in order and get my books in proper sequence and I was shocked to see this issue in the bunch of Fantastic Four Issues.
2) Juggernaut was unstoppable and he was my call sign of a club that I belong to.
3) Outside of Doctor Doom he is my favorite Marvel Villain and I had to change it to reflect the sheer size of power and destruction that this villain has shown to me. He's 9'5" and nearly 2,000 pounds and that alone makes anyone fear him and that's makes him alone unreal and makes his presence known.
I used to be Sabra Stillyour (later changed to Stilyore) and then altered it to Quinn in homage to Harley Quinn. I make it no secret that she's my favorite. But I changed it to Yip Yip because...um...I forget actually. I like foxes? I think just 'cause it was cute.

James: I had the idea for some time of an epistolary novel using e-mails. I could never have come to live in Asia without e-mail. Before e-mail, over the course of 30 years, my father probably wrote me two letters both with a short note scrawled saying something like "Dear Son, Here's the check." But now he is e-mail-obsessed. People really let their guard down in e-mail, more than in conversation.

Q: Padding on parent versus margin on child When I want to place some (logically meaningful) div inside a (logical) container div with some space apart as below,

which of the two ways would be more logically correct?

*

*Set the padding property of the container

*Set the margin property of the div that is inside

Sometimes, I have more than one element in the container like this:

For such cases, I would need to set the space between the elements independently from the space surrounding the elements. For the space between, I cannot use the padding property of the container, and I have to go with the margin (-left or -right) of the elements inside. Taking this into consideration, for setting the space between the container and the elements, I am wondering whether it makes more sense to set the margin (-left, -right, -top, -bottom) of the elements or the padding of the container.
I use flexbox. And I also have the setting as box-sizing: border-box;. I am free to use CSS selectors such nth-child if necessary.

A: I prefer to set margin on the div that resides inside the container.
Suppose the black div below is the outer container with display: flex, width: 300px and height: 200px. When you assign padding: 30px padding to the outer div, this will result in 360px in width and 260px in height. Given that you won't expect the container to stretch, this will affect the elements around the container div. Hence, it is better to use margin on the inner div.

When you assign margin between the inner div and the container, the actual outer div won't move, and the margin will only affect the inner div, thus not affecting the elements around it.
If you are using box-sizing: border-box; then things will change accordingly, so it totally depends on what actual size the elements has to be. Using margin/padding on the inner elements will be the right way.

A: There is no hard-and-fast rule on this, because it all depends on context, and in complex designs, you usually have no choice but to use one or the other to get the desired result.
That said, you should try to group logically related rules together. For instance, when you have two HTML elements on a website that serve a similiar purpose, e.g. your outer <div> and another similar box (that should get no padding), then, all else being equal, it is better to set a margin on the inner <div>.
If, however, you are placing more than one element into the outer <div>, then you should in fact use a padding, because that takes care of all inner elements at once. @zzzzBov's answer works as well, but it relies on margin collapsing, which can be tricky to deal with.
edit: In your second situation, I usually combine padding and margin, like this:
.outer {
    padding: 10px 15px 10px 5px
}

.inner {
    margin-left: 10px
}

Probably looks complicated, but works regardless of margin collapsing and has served me very well.

A: It depends on how your subsequent content should render. If you're going to have multiple inner <div>s (green) separated by a similar amount of spacing, it will make sense to use margin so that the margin collapse allows the divs to render as:
+-------
|        <- blue
|  +----
|  |     <- green
|  |
|  +----
|
|  +----
|  |     <- green
|  |
|  +----
|
+-------

Here is an example of some of the various options.

A: Consider what kind of gutter you want to add. Is it to seperate elements from each other? Is it to create space inside an element?
For gutter on all sides of an element, like the blue in your example:

Here, I'd use padding on the container. Logically, that's exactly what I want, so why consider anything else?

For gutter between elements on a row, like the space between the green elements in your second example:

Here, I'd use margin on the green elements. There's obviously a margin between them, so padding doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

When you use these two examples together, however, they create a problem where the margin on the green elements may be conflicting with their parent's padding. I manage this by removing the margins from the first and last children.
Additionally, you may want more of those fine, green elements on a new row. I usually clear on every row using an element wrapping the entire row with whatever appropriate method to clear the floats, so it makes a lot of sense to seperate the rows with a margin. Obviously, the same conflict with the parent's padding arises here, but it's easily handled in the same way (ie, removing the margin from the last row).
So, in short:

*

*Padding on parent elements for gutter between its edges and its children.

*Margin to seperate elements with the same parent from each other.

*Remove margins from said children when its margin connects to the parent's padding (the first and/or last children in a row, the last child in a column).

Disclaimer: This is how I do things. I can't promise it's the most efficient way to do things, but it's the way that makes the most sense to me.

By providing opportunities for unstructured play, safe risk-taking activities, creativity and connectedness, The Venny's programs encourage children to develop skills and build resilience. These skills help them withstand the significant emotional and psychological demands of their home and school environments.
Based on a philosophy of inclusion, participation and connection, The Venny welcomes children and families from all background. It promotes community connection and integration by encouraging all people to see beyond common divisions caused by difference in race, culture, religion and socio-economic factors. Young people who feel engaged and have opportunities to participate, experience a better quality of life. They are better able to contribute to the creation of strong communities. In the long term young people who are valued and feel connected have better health and mental health as adults, 1 creating positive outcomes not only for themselves, but also for the wider community. The Venny's non-threatening, non-institutional approach welcomes children and young people who would otherwise be reluctant to engage with mainstream support services.
The importance of play in child development is well documented. We know that children learn through play, in their relationships with other adults and children, and by doing things and manipulating their environments. 2 Play is a great leveller, crossing cultural and language barriers, creating bonds, leading to greater understanding and growth.
Where parents may restrict children's physical activity and active free play due to safety fears, The Venny works to directly address these concerns. It is situated within a park, and is easily accessible from local schools and houses with safe road crossings encouraging Children to have independent mobility and providing their parents comfort knowing that there will always be staff to supervise. Whilst on site, children have access to amenities, food and a telephone.

My boys are dying for school to start...they're still at an age where school is fun and exciting. So, to help keep mommy sane and prevent them constantly asking "how many days until school starts?" we made a countdown chain, thanks to The Suburban Mom. She has a template to use, or, you can just print off a school bus coloring page and use that for your template like I did.
Cut out the school bus, and some windows, wheels and a stop sign. Have your kids glue them on. Then, cut out strips of constrution paper (according to how many days left before school starts) and glue them into chain links. I stapled the chains to the bus wheels.
Then, hang it up and start counting down!
what an awesome idea. this would be great because my daughter starts.school this year. I have to get on this.
Love this idea! I don't have to worry about counting down to school until next year, but this would work for anything your kids look forward to (birthdays, vacations, holidays).
My girls will love this ideas. They love cutting paper (still working on the skill). Thanks for sharing.
