mechanical engineering: *vendor, peck typing while looking at keyboard* “Sorry, but the soonest we can do is six weeks.” software engineering: *vendor, reaching out to you for the third time* “We’re willing to discount again to 25% of cost and have you onboarded by Tuesday.”

Isn’t it funny that the second thing Americans brought to the Moon after humans was a fucking car

Request for startup: COPVs that don’t leak

Dreamt I was in lunar orbit last night. Been in that post-vivid-dream-that-wasn't-real funk all morning.

Lunar Permanence will require using resources on the Moon rather than hauling them from Earth. Our in-situ resource utilization system extracts oxygen from lunar regolith to create breathable air for astronauts and propellant for refueling landers and fuel cells. It also produces iron, aluminum, silicon, construction materials, and even solar power systems. The materials for a Moon base are produced right where they’re needed, and at much lower cost than being brought from Earth.

Fake environmentalists be like: “We shouldn’t extract resources from the moon. We’re going to ruin it like how we ruined earth” ITS A ROCK IT IS LITERALLY A ROCK. DO YOU WANT TO KIRK UP THE EARTH INSTEAD? BILLIONS OF DEAD ANIMALS INSTEAD OF MINING SOMEWHERE ELSE??
