The first way discussed a few years ago to mitigate the dust was a microwave paving system. Run a paving microwaving device that will melt and seal the surface together. Run the system at a lower power setting to stop the dust kicked up by a future landing or at a higher setting to seal to a deeper depth to more or…

Thanks for answering my question. It’s what I thought.

So this woman, Mandy Gunasekara who perports to be from the “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”, is actually a bullshit artist who actually doesn’t believe in science, right? I’d be curious to know if there is anyone else from “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”…

Why did you bother showing us the crab movie? It’s beyond crap.

Bigger also so they can get to the moon with them too. Most everything in the coming decades will be more in Lunar space and not so much in LEO.

If I were Lockheed Martin I’d be afraid of Boeing falling out of the airplane business. The last commercial plane LM predated it even being LM- it was just L when it was building the L1011.

I’m old enough to remember the Apollo 1 fire.

I’m in my 70s, and she never called me, but then I won’t a phone number or a text that I don’t already recognize.

What is it about Kate Beckinsale that she so prettier now then when she was 30 years ago? Is there a portrait hanging in a hidden room somewhere?

Jake from State Farm will stop hassling the woman’s pocket full of shrimp tails now, right?

Yeah, the same fellow had stories of tools that were dropped, that tore the shit out of the side of the missile as it fell the 20 stories down into the bottom of the well, while bouncing off the wall. I remembered earlier stories that the original Atlas ICBM was incapable of supporting it’s own weight, unless…

It’s been a few decades, but Poul Anderson was the first writer to introduce me to these worlds between the stars with Satan’s World. He posited it being used fro industrial processes that would ruin a planet circling a star, like what we’re doing with our own.

Just remember, it’s still never Lupus.

Yeah, look at the Navy contracts every time they want to build a new aircraft carrier or attack sub. No one ever questions those contracts, and maybe they should have been.

Nope, he meant Mars. Take a look at the log of Mars missions that Space.com maintains, and see how many failures we’ve had across the board.

ICBM silos are found in many Midwest states. I used to work with a computer tech who used to service them (in the air force? I don’t know), who told me about a silo that had a ‘shadow’ that could not be painted out, after many, many attempts. That one story creeped the hell out me.

My wife and I agreed a few years ago that we would only see the Cats movie if we were stoned off our asses. I feel that I might not last until after August 1st (When dope will be legal in Minnesota) in order to see Barbie.

Someone needs to run over to North Las Vegas and pick up a Bigelow BA330 from the warehouse and fly it up to the ISS. There will be enough additional private flights in the next few years that they really need large meeting room to accommodate these guests.

There is a lot of money to be made just keeping people stupid and angry.

Don’t you play with your food? They don’t eat sailboats, so it’s different.
