"There will be no adverse consequences for tomorrow reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences" NASA’s memos are now using Hans Landa as a template. Just super. Quote Now, my job dictates that I must have my men enter your home and conduct a thorough search before I can officially cross your family's name off my list, and if there are any irregularities to be found, rest assured they will be — that is, unless you have something to tell me that makes the conducting of a search unnecessary. I might add, also, that any information that makes the performance of my duties easier will not be met with punishment. Actually, quite the contrary, it will be met with reward, and that reward will be your family will cease to be harassed in any way by the German military during the rest of our occupation of your country.

May 27May 27 SpaceX Starship Flight 9 may launch in 10 mins or so. Launch window opens shortly. The last two blew up. There is always a small but non-zero chance that Elon will shell Mar-a-Lago with one of these, so tune in and see what happens...

Never been or seen a rocket launch. considering taking the family, but looks like this spot requires KSC admission and the transportation ticket means it’ll be over $700 for our family of 4

August 5Aug 5 13 hours ago, TheStoicPaisano said: Hmm.. I see one minor issue that may arrise with a nuclear reactor on the moon. The Nuclear Energy Institute estimates that one nuclear reactor requires between 1,514L and 2,725L litres of water per MWh. It equates to billions of gallons of water per year, and all this water requires filtering somehow. Link from water conservation advocate
August 5Aug 5 ^Would the physics of space and near absolute zero temps change that water requirement? (I'm genuinely curious, I wonder how that stuff would work in space).
