there's plenty to criticize about the SLS but scrubs are common for first launches of new boosters regardless if they were all new hardware or shuttle parts kitbashes

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

And they are scrubbing the launch again because of a hydrogen leak, looks like they wheel the rocket back to the building now and have to try again in a few months.

liberals don't really care about space because they don't believe things can or should meaningfully change, at best they'll half-assedly say they support NASA funneling money to military contractors because they're scared of China's ascendancy

The only reason we even have a space program is because the soviets did.

Yep. This time US leaders and legacy aerospace have dissapeared so far up their own rear end that they're ideologically incapable of responding to China's efforts, they're still grifting like it's 1989

In a decade and change China's private space companies will be at parity with the US's

If big brain tech guys were to turn their attention towards climate change and fixing problems at home they'll probably end up doing geoengineering and spewing a ton of chemicals of unknown effects into the atmosphere, or building domed cities, techno-solutions like that.

I don't think any of them are actually looking to build Buckminster Fuller domes yet, more's the pity. But maybe eventually.

You'd think some of these tech guys would be investing in carbon capture & storage schemes at least.

there's no way carbon capture / storage will ever be lucrative enough for the west to do it on any scale until it's much too late, at least until somebody invents free energy or they figure out we've been doing physics wrong all this time

CCS is funny to me because John Delaney was a proponent of it

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/23/2020-candidate-john-delaney-pitches-vastly-unusual-climate-change-plan

quote:

Carbon capture technologies are currently available, but not at the large scale and low cost that would be needed for Delaney’s plan. Demand for captured carbon is low, making it impossible for companies to justify the expense. Delaney would spur demand by having the government pay for captured carbon at auction with money currently used to subsidize the fossil fuels industry.

trees take a long time to grow. up to like 18 months in some cases. mycelium is the better natural carbon capture option

How about algae? I think that could work pretty well for carbon capture. I think you'd need to construct a vertical structure so that you could have layers of algae + water in a stack in transparent containers in order to make it really effective. Maybe at a big enough scale it could also serve as a water battery for a solar power plant too.
