Many firings.

The US government already spends about $3T per year on healthcare. The issue has never been that there isn’t enough money for it.

My wife might be upset if I took my oral skills out on a date with anyone but her

Just like fusion

Where the hell is USC then, hm? Checkmate, atheists

I thought I already knew everything there was to know about oral, and then I read She Comes First. Now I know for sure, I already knew everything there was to know about oral.

Same. 4 laptops, 3 desktops, steam deck, and a moonlight server

Small correction: the creation of post offices is authorized by the postal clause, not mandated.

Congress shall have Power…To establish Post Offices and post Roads

That gives it the authority to do so, but doesn’t require that it must do so

Spending way too much energy breaking down the timeline of Harry Potter’s life and death tbh.

You don’t have a network-wide ad block?

Might confuse the Last Thursdayists

Last I checked Orion had an NDS. Do you have a source for “they don’t have a docking port”? I try to stay abreast of space news, so if I missed something I definitely want to know about it

AFAIK the dragon and Orion could physically dock together - the NDS (NASA docking system) can be used as either chaser or target so there shouldn’t be any issue there. Orbital dynamics might be a problem, depending on what kind of issue there is. Realistically, if there is an issue that can’t be fixed the rescue plan is probably to deorbit the Orion and splashdown, unless for some reason that became impossible

Not at all, no. But they are going to do a 24 hour dwell in earth orbit to do checks before they burn for their free-return lunar orbit

The shield is ablative, so yes it is supposed to wear away. The problem isn’t that it wore away, it’s that it wore away in ways that were not predicted by the model. It “spalled”, meaning big chunks broke off.

Zeno’s dichotomy paradox

Why is Pern censored? Also where are the dragonriders and the Thread??

I’m going to do it even more

There is 0 chance that they’ll be able to do “regular annual trips” without changing the architecture. Even if they could support the $4B+ launch cost of SLS + Orion every year, which they can’t, lockmart couldn’t produce enough Orion capsules, Boeing and their contractors couldn’t produce enough SLS cores, Northrop Grumman couldn’t produce enough SRBs and aerojet rocketdyne couldn’t produce RS-25 engines fast enough for even a 1/year launch cadence.
