ceasing updates for then AN/ALQ-131 countermeasures pod.

Man this future is stupid.

SpaceX without the evil.

I dunno if there can be such a thing with a privatized space industry.

At least NASA carried the hopes and dreams of people across the planet into space on their shoulders. Same with the cosmonauts before and alongside them, and all the other national space projects that lead to wonders like the ISS.

(How telling that Musk is already running his dome about bringing the ISS down way ahead of schedule.)

Privatized space exploration has finally managed to do space what corporations have always done: Make it depressingly boring and awful. There's no wonder, no reverence, no awe. Just another unexploited opportunity for profits to a small group of sociopaths.

And we're supposed to be excited about this. Hooray.

"Alrighty, boys and girls, if we get this rocket to space, daddy Elon gets stupidly richer and you get a pat on the back! Woo!"

They dream of a world where people are working off lifetimes of debt but in zero-G, renting sleep capsules, subscribing to air, and seeing a night sky full of ad space, while they sail space yachts in high orbit.

Lol "Move fast and break catastrophically explode things" is once again shown to be a flawed methodology for pioneering space travel.

To the flabbergasted shock of everyone. /s

At this point SpaceX is making Boeing look like they have quality control.

NASA at least had a reputation for taking every conceivable precaution they could, and getting it right without wasting tons of fuel and rare materials (and potentially precious lives) by exploding VC-funded prototypes across the atmosphere, into the ocean, on the ground.

Like a lot of people, I've fantasized about space since being a wee kiddo, but you couldn't pay me to get on a Musk-rocket. To think, they wanna go to Mars‽ With human beings‽

We'd at least be excited if they send Elon, Bezos and co. first.

Steak. Lots of steak. I f**ing love steak. "

Yeah. War doesn't determine who is right, but who is left.

You're right, governments have done bad things to people before, so we should just deliver a smaller sovereign nation of human beings over to expansionist Russia's butchers.

Conveniently that's suddenly something we should've done all along, because tantrum-orange and his owners say so. (I'm sure it has nothing to do with trying to make a play for raw minerals multinational corpos are hungry for.)

Surely Pooty will stop after butchering and pillaging just one neighbor. Just one country full of people, bro, then the world will finally know peace, bro! /s

This isn't how it worked in history class. So yeah, we're all for supporting a country's right to defend itself from aggression, which will at least leave a chance to sort out the rest later.

messages and calls constantly from someone I didn't know asking why I wasn't working.

Do you think they were literally outsourcing worker spying and harassment? That'd be a pretty ridiculous low and yet wouldn't surprise me anymore...

How much you wanna bet that consultant was paid more than the postdocs. :(

Dr. Stone is just SO GOOD.

Trump is "gambling with lives." He's "gambling with World War III." He's "showing major disrespect for the country, our country."

He should say sorry. I haven't heard him tell us "thank you" for anything this entire time.

Well. That's it then.

Doesn't matter what the terrorists in charge say. Real America should double down on support for our friends in Ukraine.

Funding. Supplies. Volunteer work. Combat footage analysis. Supportive memes and propaganda. Offensive hacking of Russian assets for teh lulz. Whatever we can do.

How do we find the helpers here?

I love the quote by Victor Saltzpyre in Vermintide 2:

"Do not be tempted to compare evils, lest you be tempted to cleave with the least of them!"

America sure does love its extra, pointless middlemen. Lol

That's why he wears that stupid bright red hat all the time, so even a rookie should know what to line the dot up with.

Well, like all the attitude of Terry without the genius to back it up. The "about" pages and stuff just read like your typical "One superior genius started this company" grift myth.
