Oh man, movement in those suits seems… shall we say, more than a little restricted. Pressurized, they look as rigid as a zeppelin.

Well, that’s really an attempt at saving money. And it’s a strategy that actually works with some of their contractors. (Not so much with Boeing and ULA)

The problem is that they really need more budget. There’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t have five times the funding they have now. The US military had a budget of 820 billion last year, NASA used 200 million. Meaning, that you could quintuple NASA’s budget with an additional 800 million by shifting 0.1% of military funding their way.

Personally, I think NASA is more than 0.1% as important as our military, but that’s just me.

And the cycle will be complete…

Heh, as our reach into space increases, we may end up with “multiglobal” organizations. (Interglobal?)

Oopsie doodle!

Get a ford focus. Or, gasp a Toyota.

But don’t give me that argument, because it’s 100% bullshit.

Americans don’t have the choice to do most of these things, or the choice to do most of anything.

You have the choice what car to buy. You often have a choice of when you fly somewhere. I mean, you can always skip that California vacation and go camping somewhere local, I’m not asking you to skip your brother’s wedding.

That post also misses the biggest thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint. Eat less beef. Reduce the amount of beef you eat, substitute chicken or even pork, that will have a massive effect on your carbon footprint.

I mean we know trump supporters committed domestic terrorism, they shocked the world, doing it on live tv. This just shows that it was more than once, not a single isolated incident.

Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.

Well, successful art I guess, it made me feel things…

Well, we have multiple launch vehicles, we have multiple crew capsules, multiple cargo vehicles, and just about all of them are cheaper than our previous options. The crew capsules we’re using now are all several orders of magnitude safer than the space shuttle (even the Starliner in it’s current state is an order of magnitude safer than the shuttle). And now we have options that don’t require us to negotiate with Russia to use them.

And they’re doing a real bang up job of it… Dropping tanks of Nitrogen Tetroxide and hydrazine to explode near towns. Really killing it.

And you should know, China is not doing it themselves, there are about a dozen launch companies and aerospace manufacturers making rockets in China.

The Long March 2C that carelessly drops its booster all over the place (a poorly designed rocket) is government made, but they aren’t all that way.

Private companies have always been a big part of space flight, except it used to be only large defense contractors (Aka, Boeing, Raytheon, lockheed, etc). Honestly the situation is better now than it has ever been. But we’ll never get all private companies out of space flight, NASA can’t do it all themselves.

You would think that, but that’s probably not the case. This is what they train for, this is what they want to do. As a rule, astronauts don’t tend to get bored of space, that’s why they’re astronauts.

Maybe we should just make those AI tools public and free and leave it at that. If you monsters want kiddie porn, have this AI generated stuff. It’s sort of like having needle exchanges or safe using centers for addicts. It doesn’t solve the problem, but it makes it safer for everyone.

Why isn’t it targeted at the entire fanbase?

Is that a serious question? Because the answer is obvious…

Ok, let me start out by saying I have an 8 year old, and he fucking loves Minecraft. And hey, I played the game a bunch back when it was in beta and I was like 25. But I did not love the game the way that he loves the game… He’s obsessive about Minecraft, some days it’s all he talks about. How many adults do you know like that?

And here’s the real question, when’s the last time you bought Minecraft merch for yourself? Because my kid has a Minecraft lunchbox, a Minecraft hoody, a Minecraft Lego set, some Minecraft figurines, and of course the Minecraft sheets and PJs.

Pass…

Oh man, I fell apart with that line…

One 1/4 family at a time

Seriously, I’m still chuckling

The kind of psychopath that uses the first?

Yeah, the hivemind can get pretty tiresome.
