So, while I fully expect the SCOTUS to somehow undermine this eventually (so there is more money made for corporations), if it stands it means at least one “writer” will have to be attached to any script to prevent it from being wholly available for public use?

Can’t wait for the bee conspiracists refusing the vaccine.

If they’re planning on people spending long periods of time up there, the obvious lucrative entrepreneurial enterprise would be, as always, the world’s oldest profession.

Because people never walk or drive on the fresh concrete. NEVER.

They have to go through the humiliation of being called Space Force. At least let them have the patch (which is kinda cool).

I watched to the videos too, and found them very tongue in cheek.

Boy, the casting director for Orange is the New Black really fucking nailed it on that. That's exactly the sort of shit I'd see Pennsyltucky doing.

We should probably stop doing anything then - as long as pollution is happening somewhere, no point to doing anything anywhere else.

It’s obvious that we’re not dealing with criminal masterminds here.

This law reminds me of the Coogan Act (informally named after former child actor and future Uncle Fester Jackie Coogan) which puts a certain percentage of a child actor’s earning into a trust which they can access when they turn 18.

Neat stuff, although I don’t think it’s really necessary for lunar or Martian missions. You might be able to push it out to 4 months with Nuclear Thermal Rockets (NTR) to Mars instead of 6 months, but at the cost of needing long-term liquid hydrogen storage plus durability issues with the engine (liquid hydrogen is…

Whoah. So guy was a legendary rocker for several decades, and then just went back to his regular job as astro-physicist! Wow. That is actually even more legendary than I thought possible! :)

Amazing fossil.

ICE car took 70 years to finally get to a point were they work fine in extreme temperatures.

Well, considering that it won’t be doing squat for 8 friggen years, at least it’s doing something...

I’d still love to see 2 Falcon Heavy launches at the same time, if only to watch 4 boosters land at the same time.

Easy to solve. If you’re being harassed, all you have to do is respond to the perpetrator and say “I feel threatened by you and am in fear of my life caused by the messages you are sending me, please stop right away because I’m scared.” And if they continue to do it, they are in the 100% know and can be prosecuted.
