I'm trying to have a discussion about innovation in space, something that goes beyond Russia, and has a clear history.

Sorry I didn't bag on Russia enough, I thought you guys were doing a good enough job of that already without me

What? It clearly states in the article they knew it was risky... I would consider that rushing.

Glad it was unmanned. There's enough senseless death in the world.

If you take a look at the lunar missions for space race, you'll see many of them happened within a year of each other. It's a wonder there weren't more failures!

Compare that to today, where it took almost 20 years of planning for the Hubble telescope to come into fruition.

You shouldn't rush things in space. This is just the latest reminder.

The Bronze Age Collapse, Fall of civilizations podcast does an excellent job going in depth about it.

A lot of us in the U.S. feel very strongly about what happened on January 6th, 2021, and the role he played in that.

Never forget, Hitler was part of a literal failed coup and imprisoned, and STILL was able to run for political offices. Insane.

I've lived In rural areas in the U.S. all my life. Internet is always atrocious because the only ones that provide services out those ways know that they have no competition.

Luckily, I've had a great company come in and now have fantastic internet after they set up the infrastructure, but I still think about those days I had to use Windstream.

If you've never read up on the late bronze age collapse, I suggest you do it if you feel like being depressed.
