Sure, but they also don't actually contain 95% of what people claim they contain.

Unfortunately when I searched the meme in question the options that popped up were Twitter or Reddit, and I decided to go for the lesser evil.

If it is fuzzy, I will pet it.

If it is not fuzzy, I will still probably try to pet it.

Sapphire's resting sneer face - top left canine is missing, so her lip gets stuck on the bottom one, resulting in an adorable little doggy sneer.

Doggy Resting Sneer Face

She is still a very happy shoobie when her lip isn't stuck though!

I love my doggo. She is adorable and loving.

Wife had two cats. Combining the animal families is... still a work in progress. Kitties are growing to like me more though, one actively seeks me for cuddles now!

A very very good girl with a sleepy blep

My wife got quite offended when I implied that we should consider the spiders pets. Before living in the same place, I would just leave the spiders be as long as they didn't bother me. That is no longer an option, although I do escort them safely outdoors rather than squishing them as is requested.

Those were very important 4MB RAM sticks, you needed at least 4MB and recommended 8MB of RAM to play the just released Doom!

I'm a samoyed dad myself, but I've always loved keeshond - there's a keeshond at my dog's daycare and whenever they're out together, they look like great alternate color fluffy buddies.

We'll see how it goes - if I decide I need some help I'll reach out, thanks for the offer!

Thermal management is a huge issue for spacecraft. In atmosphere, the bulk of cooling for things like electronics would be convective, from transferring the heat into a fluid (air/water/etc) which then moves away with the heat. In space, you don't have a fluid for convective cooling, so your cooling is all radiative - essentially just emitting infrared energy. This is far, far less efficient - you need much more material and surface area to get the same cooling.

Dark objects are better at radiative cooling... unfortunately, they're also far better at absorbing radiative energy. Like the oodles of it coming out of the sun. That's why dark objects are dark - they're absorbing the energy. However, it also means that your thermal management is far more difficult because you're absorbing a lot more heat. It can be worked around, but it makes the spacecraft larger and heavier, which is the antithesis of space work. So spacecraft have traditionally tried to reject as much absorbed energy as possible, which by definition makes them reflective.
