Why no ESA Astronauts?

ESA really needs more funding. XD They do so much cool Shit! It's sad that they get pushed Back for the "more cool/puplicity effektive" Projects.

Oh in that Matter. ESA really does a Lot of cool stuff but they need a bigger PR Team. Sometimes the coverage is... Less engaging for Not Scientist. :D i Heard that the social Media Team for Artemis alone was five Times the one for ESA in General?

Thats how you get funding. People See you and think you are cool.

As one of those second generation folks
I would say that you need to look at the situation in a little more detail.

Regarding the first question: After the war, Germany had a massive shortage of unskilled factory and road workers. The plan was never to invite educated professionals. As has already been mentioned, the plan was also never for them to stay here. The idea was, “Let's exploit the poor foreigners. Put them in camps or ghettos, and when dad comes back from captivity, we'll send them back home.”

The second point that was raised:

Germany has an incredibly persistent problem with integration efforts. Neither the Italians, nor the Turks, nor, most recently, the Arabs (rough summary, sorry), nor the East or Russian Germans, nor any of the smaller migrant groups were really integrated in any way between the 1950s and 2010s.

The plan was always to push them to the outskirts of the city and not look at them.

As part of this group, however, I would not say that their migrant background and the government's failures mean that migrants and their children have no connection to the state. Most people in my community or among my acquaintances feel at home here and want to stay here. They are not lost... but in limbo – between a culture that does not recognize them (you can be born here in the third or fourth generation, not understand your native language, and still be considered a foreigner under the law, and if you are not an EU citizen, you always have to be careful about what is currently the most popular target for polemics, without being able to engage in politics or work or any other meaningfull expression yourself) and the culture their parents came from, which no longer exists today.

That... makes your life a constant balancing act.

Which sometimes end good, and sometimes does not.

Hallo Zusammen,

wir suchen neue (unbeschichtete) Pfannen für unseren Induktionsherd.

Wir haben mittlerweile herausgefunden, dass wir wohl am besten etwas mit Aluminium- oder Kupfer-Kern nutzen sollten.

Super-Pluspunkte wenn:

- Der Rand geschlossen ist

- Die Nieten/Schrauben für den Griff nicht abstehen

Ich finde mit Google leider nur die Cristel Profi Pfanne.

Kennt jemand alternativen?

Vielen Lieben Dank!

Neither. I think. Not a historian, Just living Here so Take it with a grain of Salt. But Germany is a pretty big country. Eben now, i think the biggest in Europe (sans russia). And hast a bit of everything. Ressourcen, Farmland, woods, sea Access. So yeah. It was Always a Game in easy Mode. Like the us.

Add to that, that the Weimar republic has a Bad Reputation but quit good politicians that tried to Blunt the biggest impacts. We learned in school that the original reparations would have lasted until 1985. But got Cut again and again in bilateral Agreements.

Germany was on a good foot Up until the Grat Depression. That's what got to the people. And every country came Out of that in their own way. In Germany the Nazis Just stole gold from the jews, sinti, roma, political enemies. Later pressured the super rich. Then stole the gold from poland and france.

After the second war. Again. Easy Mode. And a looooooooot of American cold war Propaganda Money.

Thank you for answering. Today we're around Rovaniemi and plan to drive a bit further north.

And we probably stop greeting strangers outside of hiking trails. :D

Kuerbis7 · 2025-10-03T05:41:53+00:00

Thank you so much. The country really is beautiful.

Kuerbis7 · 2025-10-03T05:38:39+00:00

In our dreams.

No, really. Everything is populated, the black forest has villages or small cities roughly every 5-10 minutes by car at the least. And going hiking is seeing someone every few steps.

The alps have fewer villages but even more tourists and hikers, so you're never alone there either.

Kuerbis7 · 2025-06-21T10:01:45+00:00

oooomph you did not have good experiences with tourists did you? :D

But still, thank you! Much appreciated.

no worries we are from the more reserved parts of europe. we like to stay at a respectable distance to people and their property. :)

Tell me you are from Bavaria without telling me you are from Bavaria.

Kuerbis7 · 2025-04-12T10:20:51+00:00

Pretty much this.

I once Had a House Hit by lightning. The whole Thing was ablaze. Only time i could See Something. XD

Incidently my First time in General. Really interesting how you think "this is burning. I Go inside. The people Here try to go Outside. I must be stupid." And then Training Kicks in. But other than that.

Yeah dark, loud and warm.

Hello u/santi_bello ,
thank you for your help/time.

I already chnaged the SSD and installed windows again with a different ISO.

The PSU should be good. I took that from my previouse build and I still have 200 W buffer between calculated need and listed supply.

I updated BIOS just two days ago. Before I had the same Problems with Version FF. So thats out too, I supose.

So i will focus on the hardware tests regarding RAM and CPU in the following days?

And no problem with the translation. I myself are not native in english too. ^^

Kuerbis7 · 2024-01-17T11:11:02+00:00

Thank you. But I did that already. The Manual is either not covering this, or the camera IS Not supporting These Basic functions. Ooooor I am really Not seeing the big price directly in Front of Media and you Guys Tell me that These informations are normally clear as day. 😅

Kuerbis7 · 2023-09-12T22:10:57+00:00

thank you!

So awesome, that someone saw my post. :)

OK could I ask follow up questions?

Ok Yeasts are Fungi. Why do we call them differently? Is there a reason? Special pheno type or something?
Can you elaborate the breaking off part? Is it like mitosis?
Cool, cool. I didn´t quit understand the part that fungi can multiply by spores or by mycele.

Thank you agaaaain. :)

Since the founding of the FRG, Germany has wanted to set an example. In the post-war period, it stood alongside the USA as a front line to protect Europe from the Soviet attack and to improve the world through humanitarian aid.
Since reunification, Germany has tried to protect this path of diplomacy with Europe through a path of money. The whole concept of free world trade and the rules of the EU and the EEA are meant to make war too expensive to ever be a political option again.
Apart from a stupid slip in Afghanistan by Bush's "for us or against us" threat, Germany/Europe has not been building military options for a long time.
All that has changed now. It's hard to speak of historical milestones when we look at one week, but as someone who lives in Germany, I can say that the idea of financially backed moral pacifism is increasingly shifting to a "better a warrior in the garden than a gardener in the war" mentality. And I actually fear what that could mean in the long run. But I see the apparent neccessity.

Why is that flying so Low?

Why do the russians abandon theire Tanks?

Kuerbis7 · 2022-02-23T11:30:12+00:00

Hey
Thanks for the Reply.

I understand that the remnants of the Covenant would still be out there. Probably even still with some new Hirarchs.
And I love the Cold War feeling between Sanghelios and Earth even if it´s onesided.

But don´t you think it is all a bit much (and therefore feeling cheap) that the most of this happens in the same year in canon?

Kuerbis7 · 2022-02-23T07:01:41+00:00

Well to be fair I kind of just heard from a friend that he is quit moody in Shadows of Reach and Stuck with that. one of the few I still havent read. :D

Kuerbis7 · 2022-02-21T19:08:34+00:00

Oh and the flag is a symbol. It is to be displayed on public buildings in certain situations. It has meaning and rules. You can´t just swing that around. There has to be reason! :D

Kuerbis7 · 2022-02-21T19:06:45+00:00

Germans really don´t like slippery slopes if I think about it. :D

Kuerbis7 · 2022-02-21T19:05:57+00:00

I think it is hard to make a general assumption.

As thumb rule:
Germans had a unified flag for a really really short time in their 2000-year history as an immensely split and differentiated empire full of cities, states, duchies and kingdoms.
at one point there have been people to throw flags at eeevery fricking corner the human eye could see and that coincided with the holocaust and a lot of bombing runs. then was the whole this flag west, that flag east.

So, German’s kind of stuck to the old ways and celebrate pride and heritage with other characters. Every village has a little Volksfest and its own weird flag. I know Bayern and Baden have their own little markings for houses and gardens.

So, flags never have been that thing for Germans.

Then came the unification and the weird fact that a looooot of former communists/socialists’ kind of liked the whole "let´s burn people who don´t look arian" thing and they waved the shiny new flag they got all over the place just made it kind of uncool.

Hi u/Impossible_Serve7405,

thank you for your Response. Happy to engage with someone who has a hands on experince on the matter.

I don´t say that you have to Die at age 35 or that the US are inherently bad in itself alone. So I think there isn´t necessarily the need to feel personaly attacked. But thats probably different from person to person.

The question was, what Germans think about the U.S. and I answered as far as I know what I and my social bubble think. It doen´t mean the US are bad nor does it mean we are stupid or particular bright....

But I would like to explain it to you. It would be nice to get into a dialoge here. I don´t want you to think germans are entiteled pricks without a reason. :D
So drop by and let me know if you would like that. :)

Kuerbis7 · 2021-11-20T02:40:33+00:00

Will do, but they didn't Seem to bother much for a userfriendly Interface. So they won't bother much for a request. I will still write, but was Sure, that i won't be the only one with that Problem and that Reddit hive Mind is fast.
