200-500mm/2.8. Lists at $26k.
Nobody even rents that lens. If I'm remembering right, Lensrentals.com sold off their only copy for thousands off the retail price because it wasn't generating any revenue. It turns out there are very few people in the world who want to carry around a 36-pound lens.

They'd probably get more rentals if the rental of the lens included a dedicated handler/pack-mule.

He bought a jeep to transport the lens because, you know, he was stupidly rich.

You can get a similar cheeseburger pizza in Jordan. Apparently they think we westerners like pizza versions of things. And they're right!

We have a current affairs/politics panel show in Australia called Q&A and a hard right wing senator had a big argument over climate change with Professor Brian Cox, claiming the data had been "corrupted" and "manipulated by NASA". Cox was agog.

Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to explain the birth, life and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae and other objects in the universe.

That won't work in this argument, because the immediate response is that the climate in Venus wasn't man-made. :bahgawd: :downs:

Speaking as one, I probably couldn't write a paper that would pass peer review on the subject of global warming off the top of my head, but yeah, the physics of global warming are not complicated and even someone with a bachelors in physics/astronomy/whatever could understand it.

People who think NASA is some shadow organization that is doing sinister things like controlling the weather etc clearly never worked there. For the most part it's no different from your standard university atmosphere, except with more red tape and forms to fill out and training videos you have to watch.

Hah. I once heard an astronaut talk about life at NASA during the Challenger disaster. He was arguing with someone in management about how they should go forward after the accident, saying that they should prioritize actual safety stuff more than they do rather than launch anyway to hit the deadlines they promised.

The guy said "You don't understand everything that goes into it. If we don't deliver the launches when we say, Congress will cut our program. You astronauts can't prioritize it rationally, especially since you've got to worry about your own safety to the exclusion of everything else"
To which he responded "Who really cares about missing deadlines? Blowing up astronauts is the fastest way to get this program shut down"
