That’s a good point! Not having to move materials off planet will help keep them fresh. I also don’t want to deal with spoilage, but I’ve just been avoiding going to Gleba!

Yes… I noticed this also when I didn’t have the crushers to feed ammo production and spent the new few hours getting alerts my latest space platform was being slowly reduced to rubble 🥲

It won’t, but it might produce mediocre drivel at low cost, which is more profitable than paying a team of creatives to make something actually good.

This is slightly concerning. Satellites don’t tend to explode on their own, but it is a Boeing design with a history of leaky propulsion, so who knows?

Gotta create more terrorists if you want to fight a war on terror.

My first thought on seeing this was “I wonder what ENB preset that is?”

Such a shame, I was really looking forward to this based on the teasers shared on the game’s Discord server. I guess it’s just like big publishers to put more effort into marketing than development.

Cute, but I don’t see Maiyuri dressing like that.

Fucking Reagan

Science is the pursuit of truth, which is antithetical to an administration of liars.

Space Cadet Pinball is available as a Flatpak? There is still beauty in this world 😭

Let’s not body shame when we can brain shame.

That’s not completely accurate. As the NASA link you shared explains, the normal orbit for the ISS is relatively low at 400km, where atmospheric drag and orbital debris pose a risk. The article agrees that the station could be raised into a graveyard orbit (where it could safely remain for several hundred years; this a standard way to retire space hardware), but this would require more delta V than for a controlled deorbit. In turn, this means a more expensive booster vehicle and mission.

So, the ISS could be safely preserved in high orbit, but no one is willing to pay the price to move it there. This makes me a bit sad, as it means the most expensive and impressive engineering project undertaken by humanity to date will be destroyed.

So, I guess any kind of preservation is unlikely. I was hoping the ISS would be put into a graveyard orbit, so it could be kept as a monument, but there doesn’t seem to be the will to do that. It’s the end of an era, but hopefully that means a new chapter in space exploration is starting.

My personal favorite is Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List.

None of those words are in the bible

I’m really tired of republicans calling anything democrats do “radical” or “extreme” when they’re just pushing for the most mild stuff. I would die for some actual radical left ideas.
