Designing any kind of space vehicle is always a trade off.

The vehicle needs to be light enough to be launched from earth to mars, but durable enough to fulfill its mission goals.

I’m sure if nasa had access to a vehicle that could send an M1 Abram’s sized, solid steel rover to mars, they totally would, but that would probably cost more than a moon mission, and the whole point of rovers is that they’re fairly cheap for the amount of research you can get out of them.

They’re testing their new program where the outsource the beatings for liability reasons.

Ah yes, because police love when people start reaching for objects under car seats

Genghis didn’t have access to thousands of poorly assembled Humvee knockoffs and millions of poorly trained mechanics to make them somewhat functional. I’m sure some of them could survive the drive.

They think not masturbating will give them anything from higher testosterone, better focus, or to a higher IQ.

They think masturbation makes you weaker in every way.

This is of course patently false, and all basically rises from an old athlete myth that sex during training will reduce your progress. Which these dorks then took to an extreme by saying any ejaculation will reduce progress in physical and mental training. Because we all know that the key to success is stored in the balls.

How bad is school where teenagers are jumping off buildings to avoid starting the school year.

The CDC has a plan for a zombie outbreak.

They’re not really thinking we’re gonna live through the walking dead, but it’s good to practice planning for things and analyzing how those plans are developed and if there are any holes.

You wanna know a great way to stop a burning man from setting other people on fire? A fire extinguisher

There’s three things you don’t mess with.

US and oil.

US and their boats.

And the US and an excuse to pump more money into the military industrial complex that masquerades as our Economy.

You should also avoid bears in general.

Also the return of paper towels for hand drying.

I hate those stupid air dryers. Most of them barely do any better than just shaking your hands in the air, because they’re simply spraying your clean hands with all of the shit and piss particles that are floating in the air.

Would rather have some cheap paper towels so I can dry my hands, and use the towel to open the door before throwing it in the trash.

Kinda like how Elon promised a mars colony by 3 years ago, and his big rocket exploded on its first flight a few months ago.

Or how full self driving has been ready “next year” for the passed 5 years.

Hyperloop was going to revolutionize transportation, by having a train in a vacuum tunnel, and is currently an abandoned tube in the desert.

The boring company was going to create high speed car tunnels under cities, and it’s test track is a 30mph traffic jam, but now underground.

Solar city was going to put solar tiles in place of your shingles and offset your power usage, but the demo musk showed was an actual fraud, and there were no solar panels.

Last but not least, spaceX promised “rapidly reusable rockets” with a 10x decrease in cost to low earth orbit. The fastest turn around they’ve ever had was a month or so, about as long as the space shuttles’ fastest turn around. The falcon 9 still costs between 50 to 60 million per launch, even if it’s a reused booster or not, and the space shuttle was capable of taking crew and cargo/payload at the same time, while the falcon can only take one or the other.

Musk companies have a long history of promising the moon and delivering playground sand. Don’t buy any of his products and don’t fall for his “saving humanity” bullshit. He’s just a conman who’s defrauding investors for billions.

How did they leave a car at a campsite for months and not have any kind of search and rescue triggered?

My buddy got lost on a trail once and had to do an shitty night out in the woods, the next morning there were forest service personnel out looking for him because they spotted his car parked overnight with no camp permit posted.

I thought this was standard practice at every national and state park. An unattended vehicle is seen as a sure sign that someone is in trouble. I guess I’m never going hiking in Colorado, cause if I get in trouble the CO forest personnel are apparently just going to leave me for dead.
