I was so surprised when California Protester Shootings happened and everybody acted surprised.

I had always just assumed that the US is a terrorist state and these things happen regularly. It surprised me a lot when people acted all shocked about it.

they just want to test how much public outcry there would be

I like saying that society is a hot gas.

It is a mass of small particles that barely interact with one another, heated up by the heat of anger and hate, floating in a large space aimlessly.

My type of society would be a liquid, where particles are free to move but close to other particles.

“In the face of the disruption of order and acts of systematic violence, the state will enforce its constitutional mandate to guarantee peace,” said Juan Carlos Orillac, minister of the presidency.

It is telling that the only direct quote in the article comes from the side of the state, not from the side of the workers.

Journalists, do a better job. Report on people’s view, not company’s point of view of things.

the thing is, when you build rockets, and they actually work, and put people on mars, you can reasonably demand that people who demand exponential growth actually go to mars, because earth is already full. this way, you can get rid of the billionaires.

this but unironically. send all the billionaires to mars!

but is it significant harm, compared to other things?

i mean, every company harms the environment somewhat. streets pollute the environment through their presence. oil refineries leak huge amounts of methane into the air. factories often produce toxic chemicals as by-products.

I suspect that it might be some form of hidden feeling of guilt.

people immigrate here, and feel guilty for intruding. then, they take up some form of anti-immigrant sentiment as a form of self-punishment?

rather the opposite i’d say … ready for take-off.

isn’t that Hitachi?

I suspect it’s because the hydrogen molecules are bigger than a single helium atom, which doesn’t form molecules (since it’s a noble gas).

So the hydrogen molecule only seeps through if it’s oriented right (since the hydrogen molecule is a stick-shaped molecule).

Yeah, if by “going over”, you mean accelerating in the horizontal direction, then you’re right.

Just to illustrate this: Consider we want to put 1 kg of mass into orbit.

First, we have to raise it by 100 km. That requires 1e6 J = 1 MJ of energy (formula is m*g*h).

Then, we have to accelerate it sideways, to a speed of 8 km/s. The energy to do that is 32 MJ (formula is ½*m*v²).

So, most of the energy (97%) is actually in the sideways movement.

While what you said is true,

i guess that most people’s motivation is rather the economic benefits. Think of it this way:

The 1960s space race created jobs all across the US and inspired a generation of scientists.

Mars settlement could do the same, but bigger. At least that’s the idea.

a rocket is a wingless airplane IMO

Edit: with oxygen tanks, as you said.

Israel is the criminal and everyone knows it.

Israel will face the long-term consequences of its reckless behavior. Just not today.

As always, the article primarily gives the view as seen from Israel, Tel Aviv; But where is the view from Iran?

batteries didn’t make much sense in the past because where do you take the electricity from? combusting coal to generate electricity to charge your car is not much better than just combusting oil directly. now, we have solar. that changes everything.
