Yes actually, how’d you know?

Is it? Not where I live.

Perfectly normal thing for the president to say.

Guess I’ll add that to the states I won’t be visiting, let alone living in.

Or what? They’ll drive local energy prices even higher?

We have a thing in the constitution about this. It’s called"unreasonable searches and seizures". But cops don’t care about that.

There are so many reason we do these things as engineers. For me, it used to be about having all our marbles in one basket on Earth. But, as I get older, I find the science and engineering are just the better parts of humanity. There’s so much nasty stuff happening in the world out there

We launched The Nancy Grace Roman Telescope at the end of August, and I literally cried watching it separate from the rocket. 5 years of my life, and a president who tried to cancel the program, not once, not twice, but three times. All of the work we did at the end of last year under duress of the OMB crap, and NASA cutting 25% of the workforce, trying go defund Goddard.

So, yeah, this stuff isn’t just something I do for money, or the challenge. I do it bcz it’s my life, it’s what makes the bestof humanity, all of the knowledge and hope we have as a species.

Edit: To answer your actual question, the moon is a great jumping point to other parts of the solar system. Launching from the moon has so many benefits over the earth due to our gravity well being so large. As for why we’d do any of this at all. It’s a great place to test out living in space, and the technologies we need to do it. If we stay on this rock, we are dooming ourselves eventually. (Whether it’s climate change, or a cosmic event, or something else). Right or wrong, people want to go into space, and this is the best way to test out our ability to do that. All the politics aside, we have the technology to go to Mars now. The issue is logistics, and political will stopping us.

Good catch, i definitely wrote that when it was still in alpha.

I haven’t been on Facebook in years. And I plan to keep it that way. Last time I was on there it was filled with AI generated content and advertisements and I couldn’t even see my friends posts. What’s the point then?

Mitch McConnell seen here watching a toddler get bullied by a bunch of elementary school kids.

Kind of hard to find the funny in purposefully trying to stamp out life on the only planet we know of that has life.

That was kinda my point :)

I remember a time when games were just installed on my computer. No external launcher

We don’t have to let it, but we probably will anyway. There are a ton of people trying to push some crazy revelations end times scenario on us.

I’ve said for a long time my retirement plan is there won’t be one, and it’s starting to seem like that’s really going to happen, just not in the way I imagined. We live in the absolute stupidest timeline right now.

This meme hurts my brain

No I’m not, you’re “meme” is just misleading. I don’t even know why I’m talking to you. Your comment history is insane, and all you do is argue with people.

That picture wasn’t edited to drastically change his appearance.

You could have literally posted the same thing without editing the photo.

I for the life of me don’t understand why people feel the need to edit photos for fake internet points.

The amount of people in this thread who enjoy lying is concerning.
