Ban everyone who closes their shades during air travel. With a few exceptions, they’re not worthy.

@Robotbeat Cannot argue with that, but I'd also like to put in an honorable mention for the one that happened in my lifetime: 1989-11-09

@joebarnard @DrChrisCombs SLS hardware is so expensive they couldn’t afford to actually fly a test. Starship is efficient enough that SpaceX *can*
English
@joebarnard @DrChrisCombs IFT-2 was a *test* launched in the middle of development; Artemis 1 was “we guarantee this will work” after all the *testing* was done. These are not the same!
English
Lmao this is the most Eric Berger of all Eric Berger takes
I’ve been very positive in my comments on Starship IFT-2 but SLS sent Orion around the Moon on its first flight while Starship just barely made it past the Gulf of Mexico, why force this comparison?
Eric Berger@SciGuySpace
I wrote about this weekend's Starship launch, and tried to explain why it was a remarkable success despite the outward appearance of failure. arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/…

@bertil_hatt @duncancampbell Not at all obvious that it will be more expensive to do a simple synthesis of methane from water and carbon dioxide, than to collect, purify and break down a jumble of ag waste and dirt
English
@croald @duncancampbell Many of those can be synthesised with food & agro waste and recycling. There will be a need for virgin products but I’m not sure how large the demand will justify setups like that.
English
Synthetic fuels bets require you to believe either:
1) electricity transmission and distribution are going to bottleneck energy
2) electrification of end uses (EVs, heat pumps, etc) won’t penetrate very far
I think the 2nd is bunk but the first could become true.
Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors@isaiah_p_taylor
Today I'm excited to unveil Valar Atomics! Valar is my master plan to make energy 10x cheaper in 10 years by pulling oil and gas out of thin air with nuclear fission. This will untether energy from climate and politics, fuel American industry, and unlock a new era of growth

Imagine living in a world with falling birth rates, other countries worried how to remain productive, but yours has streams of arrivals full of initiative, wanting to work, sharing your worldview, believing in the future of your nation. I wish our leaders had the creativity to /1

The scale of illegal immigration across the US southern border is staggering

why do people give to crowdfunding campaigns that have reached their goal?
would you use a ranked choice crowdfunding site that reallocates money above the goal to the givers second ranked choice and so forth?

@pythonrocksnake @Cererean (where “easy” means “certainly far easier than interplanetary travel”)
English
@pythonrocksnake @Cererean If all you want is land, I suspect it would be easy to get permission from the Canadian government for a generous chunk of uninhabited high Arctic islands, that would in all ways be more habitable than Mars
English
Why hasn't bir tawil been settled and paraterraformed yet
If you can't make it there, why do you think mars is within your grasp?
English
need to find one of those places with slot machines and 10p/2p thingies. probably the only place i can get a copius amount of 10p coins to give myself a visual number go up when doing work.
English
@Cererean @RandomSprint Are you being sarcastic? Of course the ocean is an environment
English
@RandomSprint It's not in an environment. We've taken it beyond the environment.
English
Dumping brine slowly in the open ocean shouldn't have environmental consequences right? I mean, you're taking it beyond the environment. There's nothing out there but sea and birds and fish. And 20,000 tonnes of concentrated brine.

How much does it cost to rent an inflatable building, i.e. one big enough to build a house inside of?

How long does it take glass to break down in the environment?

@Robotbeat Have you heard about glass?! let me tell you about about glass

Did you know that the Argon in your window panes is a forever chemical that *never* breaks down??
English
@plutosavior @AlanStern @DrPhiltill @nasaman58 @b0yle And probably because staying high in the gravity well will be an advantage for trade with the rest of the solar system
English
@plutosavior @AlanStern @DrPhiltill @nasaman58 @b0yle Because it’s outside Jupiter’s radiation belts

Y’all still upset over Pluto?! 🤨

if a social media outlet doesn’t even let me see the chronological tweets from the people I follow, why the fuck would I trust in them for my ability to pay the light bill

JUST IN: Elon Musk plans to turn X into a full on finance platform within a year, says you won't need a bank account anymore, Verge reports.
