Hey! They consented! Supposedly.

“Hopefulism”? I didn’t know we had a slur for optimists now.

Yes, actually

Realizing you want to improve is the first step to growing into a better person!

Don’t leave the rest of us in suspense; should we be using APIs???

I think the best possible response to a question like this is just to say “yes”, and refuse to elaborate further.

What suspect? I thought they ruled the bullet wounds were a pre-existing condition and no police coverage is warranted.

So happy I got out of that state. I couldn’t stand the idea of my tax dollars funding this fuckhead’s administration.

low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison

I think you repeat yourself.

This is slightly concerning. Satellites don’t tend to explode on their own, but it is a Boeing design with a history of leaky propulsion, so who knows?

Gotta create more terrorists if you want to fight a war on terror.

From the linked article:

The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8.

No mention of other industries, but a quick search shows that the injury rate is 2.4 in construction and 3.2 in manufacturing. However, it’s important to note that all industries underreport injuries, especially SpaceX, as OP’s article discusses.

Also, I think it’s interesting to note that Texas, where SpaceX are moving most of their operations, has the most worker deaths of any state.

Do I have to take my shoes off? This sounds like a shoes-on activity.

Nice, good to see EVs that aren’t crossovers!

A quote from someone who will probably die long before we see the worst effects of climate change.

We can hope

Science is the pursuit of truth, which is antithetical to an administration of liars.

That’s not completely accurate. As the NASA link you shared explains, the normal orbit for the ISS is relatively low at 400km, where atmospheric drag and orbital debris pose a risk. The article agrees that the station could be raised into a graveyard orbit (where it could safely remain for several hundred years; this a standard way to retire space hardware), but this would require more delta V than for a controlled deorbit. In turn, this means a more expensive booster vehicle and mission.

So, the ISS could be safely preserved in high orbit, but no one is willing to pay the price to move it there. This makes me a bit sad, as it means the most expensive and impressive engineering project undertaken by humanity to date will be destroyed.

So, I guess any kind of preservation is unlikely. I was hoping the ISS would be put into a graveyard orbit, so it could be kept as a monument, but there doesn’t seem to be the will to do that. It’s the end of an era, but hopefully that means a new chapter in space exploration is starting.

None of those words are in the bible
