@gardentart I’m pretty far from the region & today I saw maple trees (maybe not sugary ones admittedly) AND a Bald Eagle. Been almost a year since I’ve seen a beaver but they’d have agreed these symbols are just symbols because we give them symbolic meaning. Nunavut is having none of it BTW
@BraumLincoln@thenewarea51 Silhouetted against a brighter sky often creates this illusion as your brain latches on to clues but gets it wrong. I fly radio co trolled airplanes where we fly from this kind of perspective and it’s a common glitch with perception.
@progunz_1@KevinHartman602@DJSnM A space station would have been a bad idea, but a quick run through the edges of the toroid of the belt was quick enough not to matter. Dosage makes the poison. Quick transit means low dose, low dose means ignorable. Crack pot conspiracists should also be taken in low dosage.
@progunz_1@KevinHartman602@DJSnM Radiation is a problem if you aren’t careful and ensure any combination of enough distance, shielding or limited exposure. They went through the edge (it’s not a sphere) and in a soda can but also quickly enough that the “deadly” effects couldn’t build up to be even noticeable.
@TKMforchess@DJSnM Scott was even more happy for the first tests of each SpaceX system. He doesn’t have anything against X but it’s less exciting with yet another & another. You’re just looking for hurt against your team so u can be grumpy & feel something. Scott is team space! With X Not just X.
@OrangeJuice ok we know you will do anything like give your spleen to stay #1 in cosmetics but how do WE get the skeleton army reserve badge (?) mentioned in the operating room ad for EVO skarmy? It has something to do with organ donation but no link and Google was no good.
@AlexBolewski@Erdayastronaut Hyperbolic engines despite their more common use in China are a horrible idea for landing because of how toxic they are to your clean up and recovery crews. As for flaps they only work with lots of forward motion so unless you want to roll on a very long runway that’s out.
@barge_arse@Erdayastronaut Impossible to tell what you are talking about out. Not all of us share the same idea to be wrong about. Plus starship has failed enough that many still think it won’t work (I disagree) but has also had great near successes but either way it hasn’t proven either side wrong, yet.
@kanifeli@Erdayastronaut This is the first stage booster which never leaves earth since it’s empty near the end of the atmosphere and is discarded to save having to propel its extra mass to the final destination. We are trying to land these to reuse to send another upper stage later.
@sassenlroussi@FelixSchlang@Erdayastronaut But you’d need the extra landing engines. So you are carrying extra mass to carry with that divided thrust that’s not even divided amongst the existing engines.
@atensnut Yeah desperate Trump demanding redistricting to gerrymander enough die hard vote against their interest districts left to keep the ruinous GOP ruling in ways that hurt their voters even after many of them realize how bad it’s gotten, that sure does smell like desperation.
@DJSnM He finally made it!!! Now he can rest in peace. But seriously some of his ashes if available should be sent on the next few attempts. If they all fail then he was cursed but it might finally get him there.
@EdwardGiugliano@DJSnM Values of stock are relative. He was a hero in many ways one of which was that he did the hard work of going to the moon without the reward of making it there. The mission and the safety of his people were paramount. His own glory less so.
@DarwynsTheory@HappyUncleSam @MbappeMuse6 @hankgreen @reztneM Besides NIH ethics guidelines if it’s a long term study they go unprotected.
Plus vaccine protection is a community benefit. Frequently to travel people need to have vaccines to protect their destination countries. Having a *?* next to their immunization record wouldn’t be cool.
@PamPrayer@atensnut If that’s the only explanation you can come up with then yes most of the world would think America to be pretty stupid. Simple stories are for children not citizens entrusted with a vote. Do some actual research or get comfortable with stupidity.
@RealMjm2412@atensnut And you wonder why women are so leery of men. Is your physical attraction that high a bar and does it matter to the things being discussed? If it does that might be part of your problem.
