  • Probes can do almost anything crew can do, and many things that crew cannot.

    This take is a little ignorant. But I understand where you’re coming from.

    Humans on mars could do almost all of the research that decades of landers and rovers have done in days. They’re also able to make more on the fly decision and pivot in research strategy, technique, and tools used.

    The only thing human space flight seems to do is help us get better at human space flight.

    In regards to this, a lot of technological advances that were founded or improved for the space programme have been highly beneficial it at least useful, on earth.

    To add to all this, I don’t know the figures for modern day nasa research and programmes, but the apollo programme is estimated to have returned $13 to the US for every $1 spent on it.















  • No, he wasn’t lying about it being bad, he was lying about the effects it had on his body and his severe it was.

    Lying to get your point across isn’t really “helping”, that’s how you sew distrust in science and documentaries. It’s straight up anti vax logic. Just because his root point was correct doesn’t make his lying good. This sort of stuff is what emboldens anti vaxers etc.




  • I wouldn’t say Europe are overreacting. This particular post, “worse than nazi Germany”, yes, but atm they are being a bit too complicit in things like the US bombing and kidnapping the head of a foreign nation…

    However the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still doing a lot of nazi and atrocious shit, but distinguishing the nuance is important.



  • This is where lables start to get unhelpful imo. Clearly he’s on the gay to straight spectrum somewhere in the middle, but isn’t comfortable identifying with the non traditional end.

    I think a looot more people are some kind of bi, but either don’t consider themselves that way, or don’t want to admit it.

    I wonder if a lot more people would be less closeted and resistant tuotheir true feelings if there was no lable for sexualities. Just ‘hey, he’s kind of hot, I want to fuck him’, then do it. Not have people ask if that means your x or y or z etc.
