Assuming ‘nothing will go wrong’ when nothing has gone wrong so far is a foolish but not uncalled for kind of arrogance. But that is *SO* far removed from the entire SLS development, which has been a non-stop procession of things going wrong. If it was possible for it to go wrong, it’s gone wrong. So to roll the…

So, like I’ve said elsewhere, NASA appears to be winging it (desperate to justify SLS’s astronomical development cost, perhaps). Should I post pictures of some previous times where NASA officials were ‘winging it?’ Like, say, Challenger? Or Columbia? Apollo 1 command module??

And you think that somehow excuses the staggering levels of incompetence in the development of SLS?? If anything, that further illustrates just how terrible SLS development was and continues to be. Because assumption in the absence of validation is both arrogant and stupid. There’s even a pretty well-known…

Sure! It’s not like they haven’t had over a decade to identify and troubleshoot these potential problems before now. I mean, that’s what they spent all that time and money ‘simulating’ to do....

No. That a project inundated with delays, failures, and problems experiences yet another set of failures and problems and gets delayed yet again.

1960s rocket science, maybe....

“Judge Darryl Derbigny was angered, finding that the evidence that could’ve cleared Walter’s name never made it to the jury. Walter spent his whole life in prison for no reason.”

Multiple, fundamentally incompatible things at once, too! They’re achieved M.C. Escher-level illogical here.

If the ‘issues’ are non-stop, they cease being simply ‘issues’ and become a much broader identifying quality and characteristic thereof.

That’s the whole point! SLS has been a non-stop procession of fuck up, after fuck up, after fuck up, after fuck up. Of course it was going to fuck up today. That’s been the program’s SOP almost from the start.

...if they were *DOING THEIR JOBS* the rocket wouldn’t be *HAVING* engine problems. Duh??

Who’s surprised? Anyone? Anyone at all? Bueller??

Peters is, apparently, the personification of both ‘assclowns make shitty decisions’ *AND* ‘failing upward.’

The scammed try to keep the scam running because they’re selfish idiots...which is why they fell for the scam in the first place.

Because critical thinking is antithetical to the mindless drones that the wealthy and powerful want to have make up the bulk of any population. We’re not supposed to think or question (the nature of our reality). We are supposed to obey their demands to ‘produce’ without any thought or concern for our own wants or…

Feasible? From a company that *STILL* hasn’t managed to make an orbit-capable launch platform, after sinking countless billions into its development?? That’s like saying walking on water is ‘feasible’ if you believe in Jesus enough....

That’s how Conservatives breed and raise ‘em -- stupid, arrogant, and ignorant. They don’t know, they don’t care, and they’re easy to anger into stabbing themselves in the back, feet, whatever. Pawns and cannon fodder for their endless culture war.

Not just any monster truck either. A monster truck being driver by her boyfriend. SR2 went to dark places.

I’m kinda bummed. I was hoping for a big heaping of all the wild and wacky diversions and activities present in SR2 and SR3. Sure, there’s overlap, but the stuff that didn’t make it into SR3 was great, and I would loved to have seen an evolution on those activities. By the same token, the activities and diversions…

A private server isn’t impossible. Just unlikely. Whoever undertook the journey would have to reverse engineer the server protocols, packets structures, and so forth, one byte at a time (helped by a reverse-engineered client to get some idea what kind of data it’s expecting). After that, you’d have to recreate the…
