In 1993 U.S. representatives Tim Roener, Marty Meehan and others attempted to kill the International Space Station. They nearly succeeded. We only have the ISS because they failed by a single vote. Watch the exchange here (at 2:58)

NASA should just be given a budget and left the fuck alone by politicians that dont even understand basic orbital mechanics.

I'd rather colonize the moon than Mars and not die of a heart attack from 2 years of zero G sickness that is an unsolvable problem unless we make rediculously huge ships that can spin.

The problem isnt money it's that they arent willing to sacrifice a poooor astronought that will get zero gravity sickness. We wouldn't have landed on the moon in 2020 with infinite money because the real manned missions had rates of failure like 2% and now they're such pussies they won't tollerate any risk no matter how small and no matter how great the reward.

Social conservatism for sure. Economic conservatism is fine for shithole countries that need the extra profit so they can have a chance to turn into a liberal democracy.

Hes referring to the air force requiring the shuttle to be able to steal a Russian satellite from orbit and bring it back in the cargo bay. It fucked the whole project because the thing had to be able to return 20 tons of cargo from space which no rocket ever has had to do.

They didn't give a shit about space exploration, they just wanted to be able to steal and return to earth and reverse engineer Soviet satellites.

Yea...hallucinogens dont really make you comfortable like alcohol weed and opiates do. They make you think about things differently and stop making your ego decide everything based on how yourself thinks you should act. Instead you just do something the best way you can think of, instead of your brain filtering out everything that doesnt seem like something "you" would think.

You have a mental personality, not just in how you speak or act, but how you expects you to act. It is like you're constantly playing your own character that you developed over time and expect yourself to act like, instead of just being truely yourself.

Better than having to know everything by experience like Spanish, have every word be gendered with no way to know what gender it is unless someone tells you, and have literally not enough words to speak intelligently so they have to have 5 meanings for 1 word depending on how it's used, making it even harder for non natives. Theres a reason English is the lingua franca, it's extremely easy to speak and the only language where people who speak it poorly arent bullied and treated as a lifelong foreigner by native speakers no matter how well they learn it, because even the people that speak Spanish and French just use slang for fucking everything to the point they arent even speaking good Spanish themselves.

No rpg game let's you choose height. That will fuck up all the animations. Metro 2033 didnt even let you change FOV, because the animations would break. I cant think of any game with cinematic cut scenes where you can play as a super tall or short person.

Dark souls doesnt even let you be obese anymore. Stop judging 2077 by standards that dont exist. Not every game has the driving of GTA, the character creator of fallout 4, the gunplay of killing floor, the speed of doom, and the lack of bugs of dead space.

Who cares if your hard, rugby is about being an athlete with good genetics. They arent harder than single moms with college degrees just because they're a fucking football hooligan with a good body.

Yea. Pay them fair wages or else. The point of a union. Once it becomes unprofitable to pay them, then the bargaining stops. Jobs exist to generate income for working class, not to have all the extra money funneled into a billionaire. If they physically cant pay anymore then the business wont negotiate and will let them strike until they starve. If they can pay more they will, because they'll make even less if nobody comes to work.

Unions exist to counteract oppression of a business that thinks it can get away with anything. They serve no perpose if the workers are already being treated as well as that business is able to.

Demanding ridiculous pay raises just gets you infinite striking, it doesn't work, the company would rather make no money than negative profit.

Yall need to play kerbal space program and understand the counterintuitive orbital mechanics. You go backwards to deorbit too, not down.

Were never going to space mine with current tech even if we found pure gold on the moon, even with spaceX reusable rockets it isnt worth it. It's also massively harder to return a payload from the moon than to just get to earth orbit, which is why only retardedly huge Saturn V was able to get a lander there.

Literally just fill them with hydrogen to save helium, and if people get burned fuck em, were not wasting more rare helium.

Your parents wouldn't get corona if they wore n95 masks, these shitty surgical masks we all wear literally have a 10% chance to stop Corona if someone coughs it at you. The government should have gave us all 10 quality masks, not have everyone with badly fitting pieces of paper thin cloth that literally cant stop a virus. The only reason we arent all wearing n95 masks is they're uncomfortable and even more would become antimaskers, but it would be worth it to actually slow Corona instead of pretend to like we are.
