I look forward to your ranking, since I’ve not read any of them.

Came to the comments to see mentions of Boeing issues.

Barnett was quoted as saying that if he died it would NOT be suicide. I’ll take that verified quote as the Bible of this.

Haha, I came here to say the same thing.. 

Nice idea in theory, But given that there is no plan for anything to be built yet to actually take advantage of this, it’s moot. Other countries are not going to care about theoretical observations from a theoretical telescope. Humans as a society do not put pure science as our highest priority. 

They might also want to make sure they properly tightened the damn hatch bolts....

Just a little bit of a nitpick, but I think Boeing’s troubles “began” when the first of their new jets nosedived and killed everyone on board. Then “multiplied” when it happened again. And many have made the point that this all truly began after the Macdonald-Douglas merger. The Alaska Airlines incident is just the

We could have saved a lot of research dollars by just scraping Dick Cheney’s heart.  Truly the blackest thing in the universe.

The researchers:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Guess what Blue Origin has provided none of....

Blue Origin can probably crash something on the Moon before the Lunar Starship tries landing on it, but I doubt they’ll beat them to the Moon with a useful demonstration version. SpaceX just has way more experience and expertise in landing rockets, and they’re pretty aggressive in turnaround time and testing when

You misspelled no. 

Boeing had nothing to do with it.  Orion is built by Lockheed Martin.

anyway I hope they learn to land standing up again...

Could Blue Origin actually beat SpaceX to the moon?

I’m surprised at how much positive spin is being put on its box office. The top 2024 opening? Compared to what, Argylle? Wow. A better opening than Part One? Well, yeah. That opened during a pandemic and had a simultaneous digital release in the US.

Yeah, I agree. It’s such an odd omission.

Even if she initially rejected it (to keep with how DV wanted to end it), he still needed to say it to show that connection is there at least for him.

Plus the “History will call us wives” line is iconic.

Generally speaking, I loved it, and for sure I’ll be seeing it in a theater at least once more.
I watched in in IMAX at Lincoln Square in NYC, which is city’s premier IMAX screen (to the best of my knowledge). Perfect seats. I found the projected image to be a bit too dusty and dirty, to the point of distraction. I

Would watch Muppet Dune.

Will Musk cut him a deal to get these Blue’s Clues into orbit for Bezos? He certainly can’t ask Boeing to help, could he? They’re still busy getting their own shit into orbit.
