I really like Freeland. This is her rage-quitting -- "you can't fire me, I quit!" due to the Liberals resorting to desperate measures to try to salvage their approval ratings. It also positions her outside the leadership structure should a leadership convention occur. I really doubt she runs for leadership though, as the next election is likely a guaranteed party implosion. But it could separate her enough for the leadership race after this one.
She is such a level headed centrist. But the right fucking frotha at the mouth whenever she does anything because she is a woman or something.
It's too bad we don't have details about the other company involved that they were targeting. Seems like the sort of thing that could rapidly escalated -- blinding all of your competitors birds on purpose. If those birds are in Geosynch, you don't even need to be in the country to do it -- just same longitude, approximately.
Pool. Floating dock. Strapped on scissor lift. Definitely in the SOP binder ;)
This is definitely unstable -- a lever arm that long is going to sway like hell.
Additionally, normally when working at heights you should be harnessed and clipped on. But if this thing tips over, you'd spend precious moments trying to unclip while underwater. A conundrum to be sure.
Because no one does any actual engineering in space. At best you're a technician running other people's projects; at worst, you have to MacGyver something. But every ISS crew needs a medical specialist on it, and a backup specialist in case they need to work on their medical specialist. So it gives you the highest odds.
Now if you wanted to work at JPL designing probes, that's a different story. But you're not going to space.
The great red spot is so fascinating. It's a vortex that has been spinning for hundreds of years. Like someone pushed a giant canoe paddle through Jupiter and the whorls, larger than the earth, just keep turning. You look at this and go: holy fuck there's a lot of energy in this system.
Spain is part of the ESA. If you have citizenship there, there's a nearly-zero (but not actually zero) possibility of getting into their astronaut selection class. But more likely SpaceX starts taking passengers and the whole question is moot.
I decided that my own path was also unlikely, but I chose a field of study that would take me to some pretty fun places on Earth. Can't explore Mars, so might as well do the high arctic, the Atacama desert, etc. :)
