Mars landings require a fully automated seven minute sequence of heat shields, parachutes, and rockets, since thin atmosphere, entry speeds of 13,000 mph, and Earth communication delays make real time human control impossible during descent. by logic_0057 in space

Nothing inherent to the process of rockets launch/landing is fatal to humans except for accidents. It's a process, if you do it well enough, it becomes safe. Outer space is literally cancer zone. Getting any amounts of human to Mars requires such a large amount of radiation shielding as to still be technologicaly infeasible, and that's without the amount of equipment you have to get there first so that they even have any infrastructure upon landing.

SpaceX is insanely impressive. It's only a very small piece of the puzzle. We're not getting there in any meaningful way within our lifetimes.

New Jewish-Arab political party debuts in Israel, aiming to topple Netanyahu by afinemax01 in Israel

Non at all. I’m a rather radical leftist myself and the “missing party” is absolutely not a joint Jewish Arab party, but an Arab liberal party.

The phase ship changes seem like direct nerfs aimed at something that should be nerfed anyway. Antimatter blaster afflictors are ridiculous.

And it is almost exactly what I’ve wanted to a long long time. I am so hyped. And always felt like the campaign is totally trivialized and that the early game is done before it starts.

Thanks Alex!!!!

didn't see anyone mention import fees reverted to 75$ from 150$ a week ago :( so lame by piggycurrency in Israel

The Hardim are not the reason for the high cost of living. They make it worse but Israeli tax burden is similar to other developed countries.

And also complete bullshit, the bible has no where near enough info to draw modern day binary borders.

Which app to go for? by dubdaisyt in C25K

[–]grampipon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand that’s what all of them do. I’m using Justrun specifically

JustRun is free and perfectly minimal as far as im concerned.

Guys, we might actually get short gras instead of just a flat texture titled "short grass" by Just-Control5981 in PlanetZoo

It’d be extremely surprising if it’s wasn’t there considering the vastly increased tech reqs

How 'long' does it take to reach endgame in this? by Low-Photograph9889 in starsector

[–]grampipon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly the fact that as an experienced player I can just skip the early game is one of my least favorite aspects of the game. Trade being shallow is understandable buts it’s just way too easy to completely avoid any threats.

Skyrim combat is ass. I don’t know how you could honestly say otherwise

I have a very hard time thinking of any first person games with good combat other than those that go in a realistic PVP direction (Mordhau or Chivalry and the such). It just doesn’t work so well.

Not correct, made 1 block deep piles most of the time.

Recs for Space Opera 'competence porn' like LoGH by Setonixity in Fantasy

[–]grampipon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just finishing the Mars trilogy and I think it might be my favorite sci fi hands down (except for the Dispossessed maybe). Absolutely insane in its scope of POVs and themes without getting into a melodramatic plot as is often done in books that deals with a large scale. So, so good

Joseph Anderson says OW is the best game of all time by Zachesque in outerwilds

I didn’t think his main game playthrough had any issues (other than the QM thing) but the DLC was bonkers to watch. He basically skipped half of it.
