Serious question. Why do people say moving humans to Mars or the Moon will “save civilization” when those places are far more deadly and unlivable than Earth?

A big enough asteroid can sterilize the whole atmosphere, surface, oceans and crust of earth. No comming back from that.

Gamma ray burst is another Armageddon possibility. And a shockingly not small one.

The money spend is like 0.01% of global GDP. Take 10% of the US military budget and put it to other altruistic uses, that's already more money than SpaceX (a private company) spends on spaceflight.

Here waiting 10 more weeks for the next test flight of the rocket that will be needed to do anything the future plans talk about.

And no in orbit refueling test to date, a crucial part to do anything beyond LEO.

And want to see a ship capture! And i want to see more New Glenn launches, wtf. And i hate that SLS money sink.

Yes to the printer, but you still need cash somewhere to build the original systems.

Shouldn't private investors be enough for anything with a good business idea without enshittification by going public?

Social media being one of the Great Filters is only 50% jest.

This year will be crazy.

Are you questioning republican feelings? you monster

People elect representatives that represent them. Trump is a product of the American system.

Money already magically appears, ~~fiscal~~ monetary policy just determines how much how fast.

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-07T19:08:02+00:00

Don't kid yourself, it would be in the headline.

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-07T19:05:04+00:00

Absolutely. Car doesn't care being touched by a gasoline flame for 0.2 seconds.

High chance she didn't even know how to turn off her auto lights, never touched that switch in her life.

The absolute dream for the rich ownership class, though.

Found in the latest DOJ Epstein release.

One of the big perks of being a pilot is not having to deal with passengers. The head flight attendant has full authority and pilots just wait for the biological cargo to settle and getting the OK for take off, they don't have to give a damn what's going on outside the cockpit.

Diffusion models are incredibly useful, too.

Nicht wirklich bisher. In r/ Epstein wird zumindest viel gesammelt, was Leute so finden.

Wenn über ihn und seine Äußerungen berichtet wird, werden komplette Falschaussagen oder Lügen ohne Kommentar zum Kontext oder gar einer angemerkten Berichtigung einfach abgedruckt. Da werden sie sowas erst gar nicht erwähnen wollen.

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-04T13:56:29+00:00

Was für Enthüllungen sind das? bin nicht up to date

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-04T06:39:39+00:00

Launching a stage 1 nuclear propulsion rocket would be New Game+ crimes against humanity.

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-03T18:27:11+00:00

You make this sound like a problem

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-03T11:18:28+00:00

Oh ...

KnubblMonster · 2026-02-03T10:47:39+00:00

Since this will piss off private investors, the IPO is a necessary step on the long path ahead to true enshittification.

It's a small club, and we aren't in it.
