One working Starship launch could take care of it all in the time frame they need.

Shaq O’Neil, if he could keep a straight face.

He’s be played by Allan Ritchson in the movie.

I can imagine the side eye my wife would give me if I even ran the promo for this show on our TV. Solid ‘no’ my our house.

Sandbox replacing cookies? No one likes sand in their cookies

The only thing that makes sense to me that Dominion settled because their lawyers needed a payment, and Dominion maybe didn’t have the free cash to make the payment? My only disappointment is that Dominion didn’t demand on-air apologies from each of Fox’s talking heads.

Elon himself gave it a fifty-fifty chance of full success, BEFORE the launch.

I’m still curious about where the Orcas have learned to pop the livers out of Great White Sharks, and leave the rest of the bodies. Did someone tell them about eating livers with fava beans or what? As quickly as that Orca habit has popped up, the sharks have taken to getting the hell out of Dodge when groups of Orcas

So Molly, is there water in the Rhine River yet? Some of the pictures of how empty that river was scared the crap out of me, because we’d not been told how dry Europe had been recently.

We’re going to be decades before we could get a population built up on Mars. The easier thing will be to build up a population on the moon, living in the lava tubes, and then some day one day some surface structures like what Andy Weir wrote in Artemis. Give us ten years of humans in 1/6th G and we’ll see how the

I expected to see the drill cause the bit to glow from use, and ultimately make it dull as hell.

Yup, the US said in 1955 they would launch an artificial Satellite, so the Soviets got their Satellite up in 10/57, and they even killed a dog in orbit a month later, before the US got one up in 2/58 and a 2nd in 3/58. The Russians gave up on the moon in 1976, and they’ve never been back.

I actually remember that Executive Decision movie where he freaking died 5 minutes in, but damned I just remember loving the hell out of him being killed off. Even after they killed him, I enjoyed the rest of it. Right now, I’d just be happy if he stopped using the black shoe polish on his hair.

I liked the big domes on the Mars city. There’s been some strong pushback against domes among space colonization folks because they have some real engineering challenges, but I think they’ll be a lot easier to deal with than excavating huge areas of Mars underground.

No excavation needed- just like with the moon, living in the lava tunnels would be so much easier and the structures could be just as big of this surface vision is being shown. It would allow you to take off your radiation proof suits too

So, we’re using the oil to produce the plastic, right?

All Expanse fans know the phrase- “Legitimate Salvage”

Huh?

HBO is a media name I’ve understood for 30 years. Max? It’s a series of movies with Mel Gibson.

Called on account of weather. We’ll see you again on Friday. Same Bat Time, same Bat Station!
