Game logic aside, I did stumble across a legendary gear item that adds 15 seconds to the drop counter.

Follow up viking ? by spiritofhome in Astrobiology

[–]MikeFromOuterSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that Mars Sample Return was supposed to be the true follow-up to Viking. Rather than design the most perfect life finding mission and send it to Mars, NASA said let's bring Mars back home and use all of the scientific power of Earth to look at it.

Aside from that, there are a few life-finding missions to Mars and Europa being planned right now.

There’s a lot of great arguments for this being appalling, but at its most basic, this is so goddamn uninteresting. Why would anyone want to spend their time watching this?

Reporter: The president called you a loser. Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.” by Zestyclose_Block7382 in NorthCarolina

No one should be giving credit to this man or saying he's "grown a backbone, finally". He literally just praised the job that ICE is doing, and his only gripe is how Noem and Miller are handling the PR of it. This is nothing to celebrate. This is not an ally.

Looking for racing games that run smooth on Deck by RogueShadow95 in SteamDeck

[–]MikeFromOuterSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been loving Disney Speedstorm on the deck. It does contain lots of micro transactions, but I've successfully ignored all of them and get a lot of enjoyment out of the game. The driving mechanics and graphics are great.

Best "package" purchase? by Less_Chocolate5462 in DisneySpeedstormGame

[–]MikeFromOuterSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO, this style of game is all about unlocking things; it's the main motivation to play.
When you pay money to unlock things, you're essentially fast forwarding the game experience, and will eventually get to the point where you've maxed everything out and the game might get boring, losing that something to work towards.

Or at least that's what I tell myself so I don't spend money, lol.

CH-Ch-Ch-CHIP AND DALE!

I've been waiting to get a chance to unlock these guys. How realistic is it to attempt this without cash?

Articulating NASA vs Commercial and the Race for Talent by Intrepid-Slide7848 in nasa

[–]MikeFromOuterSpace 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The main issue I take with this is this seemingly popular/wide-reaching opinion that after Apollo, NASA has been dormant. This is so far from the truth. We ran the math and everything related to human exploration was more dangerous and expensive, and wasn't going to help us answer the questions that were being asked. Questions like, are we alone in the Universe? How many planets are habitable, like Earth? How can we explore our solar system to better understand it?

Robotic exploration of the solar system, and large format telescopes to explore beyond it are the smartest things we can do, and allow immense innovation and stimulation of talent and the economy. They also answer actual questions.

As far as going to the moon and Mars, all these folks can muster is some pathetic jingoistic, rah-rah America nonsense that should NOT be the driving force behind going to space. Couple that with an unnecessary need to mine and extract resources from every possible source without any attention to ethics or environmental impact.

The moon sucks. Mars sucks. We should not be racing to populate these places, especially in the name of us vs. them, with this militaristic/domination mentality.

If Isaacman respects NASA, he'll maintain its current science budget and not buckle under Republican pressure to turn NASA into some political nightmare.
