*whispers* Psst! Read to the end!

It has got a hat and a colorful cravat too. It's marvelous!

Here is my design. 10 people in each generation are going to hold up a “please pick us up” sign to the night sky one night a week. Generational, check. Habitat (their own home), check. Subsystems (did you not read about the cool sign?), check. Society (they are allowed to marry and stuff), check.

This was my take too. Lowered Alpina? Nope!

There is no late fee! Once the gate closes, the aircraft door closes and that is that. This is extortion.

He was probably too Black.

Just because you want to believe it doesn’t make it reality.

What a story!

Top comment, there. NP from me too.

Not just children. People who do pay attention and people who don’t. We protect idiots too. Legislation for EV “engine noise” at low speeds is good.

But a truck renting company is surely not allowed to issue drivers licenses? And surely the drivers license most people possess does not allow them to drive vehicles as large as the one that crashed?

There is a lot we don’t know. What were they assigned, what were they flying. The article mentions that the crew “missed an appointed turn”, so it would seem like pilot error, but who knows.

Sure, the headline is clickbait-y. On the other hand, when a controller has to direct you to expedite climb to avoid terrain... yea. As a passenger that’s “nearly crashed into a mountain”. I don't want it any closer. They were probably seconds from the GPWS going off.

You’re not wrong, but you’re not completely right either. You assume (almost certainly incorrectly) that aliens would have our primitive technology. *We* could detect an earthlike planet every 365 days. The aliens’ Zippy-Qwik Planet Finder could do it much more efficiently.

“We work for URANUS”.

Sounds like decent (ok, middling) Sci fi.

Ah no, I need the beans. For science.

I laughed harder than I should have at this :)

Morons.
