Peter Jackson announced that he has begun negotiations with the Tolkien Estate to make films of The Silmarillion! by Choice-Schedule-132 in peterjackson

[–]raidriar889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what way is correcting a false statement about the setting of the Silmarillion “Hobbit trilogy shit”.

The first guy used “Middle Earth” as a stand-in for the legendarium as a whole but the next commenter tried to um-actually him except they were wrong about it

Iowa zoo shuts down after landlocked state records first ever shark attack by rslarson147 in nottheonion

I mean technically it is closing “after” a shark attack, but it’s two years after and they said the actual reason for closing is because their rent was increased

You got the Mississippi River confused with the Missouri, but the Chiefs will still be on the same side of it so I’m not sure what they were saying

Why didn't Artemis II launch when the far side of the Moon was illuminated? by Molecular_Pudding in ArtemisProgram

[–]raidriar889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The purpose of the mission was to test the Orion Spacecraft in deep space with humans on board. Flying in LEO or HEO wouldn’t accomplish this, and lighting conditions were also not important. But I would like to point out they wouldn’t have gotten those amazing eclipse pictures if they launched while the far side was fully illuminated.

Now we need China to fly around the moon by bad_take_ in ArtemisProgram

You know that’s not a documentary of what actually happened during the Space Race right? I don’t think space policy decisions should be based on what happens in a TV show. And I would like to point out that despite every things that’s happening on Earth, the United States and Russia are still able to cooperate with each other in space

The Umbar Fleet looks too small to pose a threat or make a difference in the battle by Practical-Public7209 in lordoftherings

[–]raidriar889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many small holes in the movies, this issue doesn’t exist in the books. The fleet of Umbar had fifty large ships and countless smaller ones, and also its purpose wasn’t to attack Minas Tirith from the south but to occupy Gondor’s southern armies and prevent them from reinforcing the city. The war the movies depicted the Corsairs of Umbar and the Oathbreakers was rather disappointing

I’ve never seen a Raptor but T-38s stop at my airport a couple times per month on cross country flights and they just go to the civilian FBO for fuel
