As has been said, the blue dot in the photo is earth, not the crescent.
But you also have to remember that earth is about twice the size of mars, so when they’re the same distance apart, earth will appear twice the size in the Martian sky then mars does for us.
His engines have already powered a new launch vehicle to orbit.
That also makes the BE-4 the first US methane fueled engine to achieve orbit, and the second in the world.
Real work in space flight actually takes time, because real engineering takes time.
SpaceX has duped everyone into thinking that the Silicon Valley “move fast and break things” strategy should apply to rockets. But look at Blue Origin: they’re already selling commercially viable engines, they’ve conducted many static fires to verify and test the capabilities of their engine, and unlike SpaceX , they haven’t blown up 2 entire rockets to do it, which saves my tax dollars.
Spaceflight is hard, the engineering is complicated, it takes time and money. I’d rather a private space company, which I don’t even think should exist, be at least careful when it comes to such a dangerous thing. I’m almost certain that SpaceX is going to get people killed with the starship, just like OceanGate did.
If you’re trying to sow doubt in the election process from the ground up, it’s a great place to start.
“Look Montana had an issue with absentee votes, where else do we have issues”
Becomes
“Montana had absentee voting issues, we can’t trust anything from absentee votes at all, they don’t count”
There have been several incidents where warning systems glitched out, and only the quick thinking of a handful of individuals stopped an actual launch from happening.
“Mistake”
“Whoopsie daisy, I forgot to add 1 of the 2 candidates to the voting system, I’m such a silly goose”
Authoritarianism is cool when you’re the one being an authoritarian.
Really sucks when someone you don’t agree with decides what is allowed or not.
If you give a government power to decide who is allowed in the government, even if you think it’s for the right reasons, you’ve now created a system where all it takes is one or a few people to turn a utopia into a grueling dictatorship.
That’s not really a good gamble
I live right next to one of the largest airports in the world.
I see 5-10 parallel lines in the sky multiple times a day.
I also live next to one of the largest airports in the world, which is a few miles from a national guard base located right outside one of the largest cities in America.
I’m probably in the fireball radius of a nuke, assuming the Russians haven’t been embezzling their government money and are still fueling their hydrogen bombs, so if the big red button gets pushed, I’ll just get vaporized about half an hour later.
Don’t shoot yourself just because you see lines in the sky. You’re either close enough to civilization for planes to make lines in the sky, in which case the bombs will probably get you anyway, or you’re so far out in the sticks that you’ll have plenty of time to make a decision.
MIRVs have been a thing for like 50 years.
The US even took them out of submarine launched missiles, because they made the soviets so nervous we had to promise that we couldn’t delete half of their country in 15 minutes.
But don’t worry, nuclear war happens so fast, and diplomatic channels are so slow, if anyone launches anything, everyone is practically forced to launch everything or risk losing it. So even if Russia did just launch one to destroy 10-15 cities, all of the cities everywhere would be destroyed anyway.
Some of y’all aren’t training your dogs on food aggression and anxiety and it shows.
Play with your dog’s food while it eats, don’t take it away, but move the bowl around and stick your fingers in the food. Get them used to you fucking with their food, and show them that nothing bad happens when their food gets touched. Especially if you have little kids or have little kids that come to your home with friends and family, your dog should be trained not to get anxious or aggressive about food. I’ve seen a lot of kids get scared by dogs because the dog is very defensive about food, but 5 minutes of training a day will knock that right out of them.
He is a man of commitment and sheer fucking will, after all.
I just thought it was flavored with rain water and depression
I think the fact that it’s really far away, in a circular orbit, and doesn’t have a big chunk missing is still a good sign that mars isn’t theia
