Hmm that explains the greenish tan i had though the holidays.

Does that mean we have this increase risk of cancer now even though it was far away ?

Store it as water apparently. Produce the H2 and O2 needed is the usual story.

Thing is, your second string shouldn't cost twice what the franchise player is getting.

Felt the same way ever since watching the movie interstellar. Always have loved space and weather systems since I was a kid but that movie really took it to another level.

For 50 years Boeing has secured government contracts by promising unrealistic development and delivery schedules. Then, the bean counters treat the missed deadlines and cost overruns as a revenue stream.

Sure, it's a crap track record, but this technique has forced dozens of competitors into bankruptcy over the years, so it's all good.

This story, again from another news source, shows us the preposterous "news cycle". That brings us "super moon" "harvest moon" "blood moon" or other invented moons, alarmist solar storms that happen a dozen a year, or the "planetary alignment" with an exact date my mom even asked about - which is one planet setting on the horizon, and then you turn around and look to the other horizon to see another.

That a prepublish about a presentation at the American Astronomical Society Meeting this week, concerning something that happened six months ago, can be written about once and hit news outlets all over to be regurgitated again and again.

Yes! It’s almost a form of therapy to me to think about.

Well clearly the odds are probably higher than we realized

Redundancy in case something goes wrong with Dragon/Falcon 9. NASA basically doesn't want a repeat of what happened in the 2010s after the space shuttle was retired and they were forced to buy seats on Soyuz for 10 years.

The article says that it’s based on the odds of black hole emitting GRBs directly at Earth like this one did. So the statement isn’t based on the fact that we haven’t recorded one before, but on the astronomical estimate that it will occur only once every 10,000 years

I read that as strange to then for some reason just trusted it. Maybe they can detect grbs in rocks or something?

Why do they need Boeing if there is already dragon that works well?

That I agree with, Its better than nothing but still makes me sad that after all this time we basically got a delta 4 heavy + with worse capabilities than the Saturn V and laughable economics.

NASA needs to get in gear

How can we say that? We only have had the means of detecting this for less than a century.....
