- I'm going to watch it, but I can't fucking stand Thunderf00t. He's that sort of miserable know-it-all prick we all know, who often oversteps his kenNairn
- I suspect that a video I posted on the previous page might address some of the concerns I presume he lays out here.
('Nuclear Starship')Nairn - Oh, it's about launch costs to orbit?
Colour me curious.Nairn - He doesn't seem to realise that SpaceX's targets haven't been met, acknowledgedly, and that they're transitioning investment to a new platform.Nairn
- *recognise, rather than realise.
I assume he does realise this, but it doesn't suit his narrative to recognise it.Nairn - SpaceX is like Amazon - they churn back profit and effort into development and iteration, which they do regularly. As in - all the time. Pretty much each launchNairn

"The James Webb Telescope discovered something terrifying in deep space
I work for NASA as an astronomer, and there are certain things we keep hidden from the public. No, the Earth isn't flat, and aliens don't control the government. Fuck, I wish those were the case, as the truth is much, much worse.
In 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope saw a star disappear. It didn't go supernova, or die naturally, it simply went dark, over the span of a few minutes. This star was already too faint to see with the naked eye, and ground-based telescopes had trouble picking it out from among the surrounding stars, so the event wasn't widely known to the public. At the time, we thought the most likely explanation was that a cloud of interstellar dust had drifted between Earth and the star, occluding it from view. It was noted and mostly forgotten about...."
