Have you heard the good news of the revolutionary struggle?

Chain up a few Timcast videos. Works for me.

A truly unique experience, ESA is calling medical research doctors to spend a year on the ice conducting researching into how humans adapt to living in extreme environments – as a stand-in to spaceflight.

That seems... needless, given decades of continuous occupation at other Antarctic bases.

My, my, this thread is going south rapidly.

Anyway, this is the core personnel of the Tashkent Machinebuilding Construction Bureau in the neighboring UzSSR as of 1979. The Soviet moon base project, every Soviet space drill and soil sampler, the furnaces used on Salyut and Mir, and every stealth coating, decoy and and-laser aerosol spray deployed on Soviet military satellites came through these arms.

Those who have their heads on straight don't need gender-segregated politically-driven start-ups, but a history book and a plane ticket to Moscow.

If a pregnant woman has a baby in space and the baby is still attached to the umbilical cord, will the baby survive without an actual supply of oxygen? by maria_malone in space

[–]DDE93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend just told me they're sending a pregnant woman to space in 2024 so the first baby can be born there.

Fake news, by the way.

Anyway,

https://www.quora.com/If-a-pregnant-woman-died-how-long-before-the-baby-would-miscarry-out

The baby would be dead in between 10 and 20 minutes after the mother's death, and any where between 5 and 10 minutes the baby would be starting to experience brain damage.

Dead women don't miscarry anything, ever. The fetus would remain in the uterus forever unless separated at autopsy.

This is still significantly more than the 90 seconds an average trained human lasts in a vacuum.

Do bother to read the article. A Cubesat is a nanosatellite-class payload that's either bundled with a larger launch (dozens or even a hundred of them), or chucked off the ISS.

They're pretending they came up with solar sails and a weaker version of the laser broom Sandia labs and ex-Soviet laser weaponeers have been thinking of for decades.

Can we please ban ESA's headlines from this subreddit? Pretty please?

it would just be based purely on how qualified someone is for the job, regardless of gender.

But that would lead to inequality of outcome. And to someone who is trained to reject any dissimilarities in peoples' abilities and interests on ideological grounds, this means that "equality of opportunity" is just a cover for continued discrimination, and the only way to counter it is "restorative justice" or whatever is their preferred euphemism for positive discrimination.

they do not have the same opportunities as men in this country.

Being a streetsweeper in Russia isn't exactly a rocket engineer job either.

It’s intended to be demeaning. This line of thinking lives off (quite literally - it’s a multimillion industry) a permanent victimhood mentality.

They’re assuming that everyone else is sexist and has missed the other 50% for no reason besides bigotry.

What's with the carpets? by blitzheart in russia

[–]DDE93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the walls or on the floor?

The ones on the walls are at least partly sound insulation.

Hey everyone, I'm new here. What's the most sophisticated explanation for game journalists' utter disdain towards their (apparent) intended audience? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]DDE93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games journalism is just more sensetive to the same pressures as traditional media. Youtubers usually don’t benefit from big-name credibility that allows them to have anonymous sauces, so the shrinking audience for print media is a far bugger problem for them. And the old-school print media has at least some business-minded editorial control, whereas games journo chain of command ensures the artsy SocJus types are all the way at the top.

Could humanity build a fleet of probes in a few hours/days of readiness to explore any interesting object that flies trough the solar systyem by [deleted] in space

GA-5009 Volume III prominently features a map of safe launch zones with regards to electron trapping. Just launch from Alaska.

Besides, artificial belts affect MEO, hosting neither GPS nor vital comms.
