When a guy who was a *heavy* drug user and has OD’d significantly in the past, says he’s at the limit...you know what that ‘limit’ entails. If you don’t immediately give him support and space, sorry you’re part of the blame territory.

Lots of really high pressure jobs are like that.

It’s a Boeing so that’s fair, but doesn’t Airbus software tend to default to not letting the pilots do something stupid...even if stupid fast dive would be the correct course of action for a given scenario.

Potentially taking a bullet is literally part of the job description.

This same ‘good guys’ also aren’t telling on their ‘bad apples’. If they truly wanted the force respected, they’d work triple time to expel those bad apples.

My Palm Pilot would like a word.  Specifically that word is ‘ditto’

One thing I learned from a video is it needs to be secured somewhere within reach of your driving position.

My issue is the subsidized insurance they get from the Fed’s.

chicken n egg. It’s cheaper to mine new because it’s very energy intensive to recycle the batteries currently.

Again, they’re doing more than we are to get to green. It doesn’t happen overnight.

Hydrogen is far and away made from fossil fuels currently. So we’d need an entire new industry that doesn’t yet exist for that.

Dunno, the smiles when they heard that giant sucking sound seemed pretty genuine

I’m a northern native, anything about 72 is generally too hot for me. But we did a family reunion/vacation in an unairconditioned cabin for a week in 90+ and when we came home decided to try and not re-acclimate as much.

EVs have some as yet unsolved recycling issues, but beyond that they’re far and away better than ICEs in terms of lifetime CO2 release.

They’re at 40+% clean energy generation annually *today*. We’re at barely 20% in only a single month.

Given the success of Ingenuity, some future missions may have some sort of docking bay, to allow that type of maintenance.  Probably underneath to allow safe access by the river driving over it
