Nope, it’s definitely moonshine.  A lot stronger than average rum.

if you live to 99 you die of supernatural causes because only magic keeps people alive past 90

Take extra towels if you go to the Maldives.

We have a non-believer in pickle juice or Pedialyte here!

I have 10TB of storage but my irreplaceable files are only a few GB.

“Main secondary” sounds like an oxymoron ... 24 petabytes is its total capacity, it’s unlikely to be completely, or even half filled. And depending on the error and the data, losing a small part of the total data could render the entire set useless.

Cat videos. That’s right. Most of my disk space is filled up by cat videos.

Hey! This is a family website!

Oh oh! I AM a geologist and sometimes I cycle...count me in!

Kinja is a peer-reviewed publication right?

I should not have had to read as much as I did to get to the point that this was some stupid video edit. Please fuck off with your clickbait bullshit. Gizmodo was given a second life, don't waste it.

So, Giz is literally calling fake news “news” now? Gross.

The thrusters are also needed to de-saturate the reaction wheel which do the fine tuning for direction. Basically they are flywheels that spin and changes in the velocity of the wheel will turn the craft. Eventually due to losses and fighting things like light pressure the reaction wheels will saturate, that is reach…

Why didn’t JWST use nuclear power for a longer operational service?
