Why is that a bad thing? Should Democrats stay in their echo chamber and Republicans stay in theirs?

And it's not even close. They put up more mass to orbit than every other entity combined.

So you're saying we don't have enough details to argue that they can spend the money however they want, but you can argue that they can't spend the money however they want?

How are there so many people in this thread talking with such confidence and yet know absolutely nothing? SpaceX is the reason NASA doesn't need to rely on Russia to get astronauts to and from the ISS, so that's one huge benefit. And Starlink is in such a low orbit that their orbits are constantly decaying and will burn up in the atmosphere without any orbit corrections. So there will never be a chain reaction crash.

What do you mean little to show for it?

I respect the integrity to do that!

No, it's true. The Biden admin drafted this in December, 2024. We have to do better than the right and actually live in reality.

There's no mention of bunker buster or Wisconsin on that page.

I think the main issue is that there is a discrepancy between what a male and female has to do in order to pass. I do agree though, if a woman is able to meet the requirements she should be able to do whatever a man can.

I thought it was in reference to Dark Brandon.

Where are they? I want to pull up with my homie and surprise him 🤫

But SpaceX has literally lowered the cost of a launch by an order of magnitude. They also are flying one of the most successful rockets ever flown.

Evolution isn't some sentient force striving for perfection. There is a lot of retarded stuff that we have evolution to thank for. This could just be a side effect of some other trait that normally helps the fish survive. Plus, earthquakes don't happen often enough to affect evolution in the long run.

I don't know if I quite agree with that being a morale issue. But that same logic nuclear reactors are immoral because if they blow up they can cause a lot of harm.

I do agree that it is a little sketchy for human flight, but they wouldn't use it if there was a significant chance of it harming the people on board.

Going to the moon was a fantasy at one point. I just don't see any downsides to trying to become multi-planetary. Even if it fails there would still be technology developed in pursuit of that goal that helps life on earth.

That wouldn't happen for an extremely long time. It will be many generations before Mars would be self sufficient enough that they could wage war on Earth. I don't feel like that's enough of a possibility to not even try colonizing another planet.

I'm not aware of any reason on why we'd want to colonize the bottom of the ocean, but there's many reasons to want to become a multi-planetary species. Space exploration has also lead to many technologies being used in everyday life today.

What's morally questionable about fission fragment drives?

What do you mean from that distance? By the time he shot her they were <5 feet apart.

You're right, it doesn't change the fact that the cop completely failed at controlling the situation and she is now dead because of that, but it muddy's the water and creates conversations that don't need to be had (like this).

I don't know why you seem to think that getting boiling water thrown at you would be like taking a hot shower, but that could seriously mess someone up for life.

Are you saying a knife couldn't be threatening just because it's used in a diner? What a stupid comment. Again, I'm not justifying the shooting, I think the cop fucked up to let it even get to that point, but don't pretend like it was just a "pot of water". You can still criticize the officer without lying about the facts.

Wtf are you talking about? Are you denying that a pot of boiling water would be easy to throw at someone and severely mess them up?
