I don’t care what we call it, as long as we keep funding the science and engineering. The amount of people who don’t understand why we should do this stuff is astounding. And I’m honestly not the best at articulating why we should do it.
Space toilets are complicated. They don’t have gravity assisting the flush. You’d be surprised how even simple stuff we take for granted on Earth is complex when you take away gravity.
Can’t we get a single article without mentioning how shitty the U.S is right now? Half of the comments here aren’t even ontopic.
Going back to the moon is still an engineering feat, even if we’ve done it before. That was a generation ago, and all of those engineers are retired or about to.
You’re thinking of Starliner. This is SLS (Space Launch System).
Yeah, a little over the top in my opinion. More money than I’m willing to spend on a prank.
This is how I know God doesn’t exist, or is an absolutely colossal tool.
Who cares what they call it, the end result is the same.
Wasn’t that kind of a given already considering how Russia is treating Ukraine right now?
The U.S. did not use nuclear weapons to stop WW2. That is such a load of crap, and propaganda. We used nuclear weapons to intimidate Russia and show what we were capable of.
People aren’t cheering on Iran exactly. It’s more like, we are doing some seriously fucked up stuff, and Israel is doing some fucked up stuff with U.S. support. People don’t like it, especially when we seem to have gone to war for legit no reason.
Instead of bombing other countries, it’d be nice if we focused on things at home, like proper Healthcare, affordable groceries.
What we got instead is a government trying to simultaneously distract from issues at home, and instigate what I’m guessing is a terrorist attack at home so they can declare an emergency and try to cancel the election.
So, yeah, right now, a lot of people are pretty understanding of Iran fighting back.
I don’t know, we need to do a better job of advertising this stuff if a lot of people don’t know about it. This is one of the few decent things the U.S. is doing.
