I see where this is going....

Go back to sleep. When you wake up you’ll only half-remember making this comment.

No no no, you have it all wrong. You see, there’s a black hole INSIDE the Event Horizon, whereas Hitomi is just looking for one...black hole not inside seething with hell and damnation minions at all.

I saw a much more detailed explanation yesterday

So, we can safely say Hitomi nicked a microscopic black hole that damaged the non-redundant solarpanel connector-manector and they broke off. Mystery solved. Not engineering at all, thank the gods. Now if the Space Debris Section would just get out there and clean up we could get on with things.

“Our solar panels just fell off” is not much a nail to hang your hat on.

No. The Japanese are awesome. Maybe the best. But as the headline promised we actually still don’t know what happened to Hitomi, we only know there’s a debris field around it, and that it’s mainly solar panel debris, not what caused it.

Oh, so the solar panels broke off...mystery solved, happens all the time.

I want to go to Wikipedia, IMDB or RT, find/discover a movie and order it up via whatever vendor currently has the license. Everyone gets their cut, I get the movie–VOD and subscription free–without breaking a sweat. All these copyright hustlers will make far more, far sooner.

Newt is dead. Long live Newt ...I am Newt. We are all Newt.

Hey, if the negatives are bigger, then the positives are smaller...! Great gobs of chlorophyllic goo, I think you’re on to something here. Keep up the good work.

What an unfortunate quote ... excess CO2 causing flora blooms is not exactly a new concept ... We look at layer with more flora or larger tree rings and have always associated those with more CO2 in the atmosphere.

please...stop. the horror...horror...the recursive horror.

reduced to: roof repair = help with kids.

Atmosphere readings taken during orbital flypast dips into the upper atmosphere, not the surface.

So, you won’t help your best friend single parent who needs someone to help with the kid because they have to fill a late shift...? Because principles?

...which couldn’t help but draw from every other gen-ship story variant over the last century, like this shortlist:

I think that’s a sub-plot in Richard Morgen’s Black Man....could be wrong.

that’s ok. She’ll quit the business soon, sick and tired of all the shallow people.

And Aurora riffs on every generation ship novel...ever.
