@JScotteswood I was deeply moved by the floor panel about the slaughter of the innocents. Heard/read the story a few times, but never really thought about it until seeing it at the Duomo.
@fior_jennifer@japan_nobunaga Do they not have Smurf ice cream/Gelato where he's from? I saw it in Ascona last week (admittedly Switzerland, but the Italian-speaking part).
@Robkearney1981@fringedotcom Strieber used to describe his "semen extraction" as a sexual assault.
It's creepy and disgusting you think violating people to steal their reproductive material without their consent is OK because you admire their motive.
My favorite thing about this is how angry it makes Germans.
People who can't count on a train they bought tickets for last month actually running today sure do have a lot to say about how terrible Americans are for not designing our moon base they want it built.
NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole
This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it
The roadmap is highly aggressive:
โข Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries
โข Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones
โข Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost
The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars
While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceXโs Starship was designed for
The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off
