    SpaceX

    One article I read was about how we are going to have to reach more acceptance over people dying in space. I still remember being in Jr High watching the Space Shuttle launch with the teacher on board that blew up.

    I started playing this video game Star Control. There is an easter egg early on where you find a Tesla roadster on a planet.

    What happened to Ramjet? I miss his takes, updates, and gifs. I'm usually on my phone and don't update what I read. Very cool stuff on the BFR. I like how we have a new space race. Interesting a clothing designer in China is going to be the first to fly around the moon. Very cool that he bought out the place, and is offering Artists of all fascists to join him. It has to be a life changing experience to create art, music, etc. It seems like they are doing ok without NASA funding, but I am not opposed to it. Astrophysicist Francis Rocard lead the Solar System exploration program at CNES. He was interviewed by a French newspaper Courrier International. Rocard showed that Ariane is still in denial about SpaceX. They accept Falcon 9 and now the block 5 Falcon 9 are the lowest cost rockets and that the reuse of first stages is a huge breakthrough. Rocard does not talk about Falcon Heavy. Rocard believes or hopes that SpaceX will not get the BFR funded. Rocard believes that NASA will not supply the $2 to 10 billion because of the funding of the Space Launch System (SLS). Rocard is not wanting to recognize that there are components of BFR already being built and that the Raptor engines appears to be close to working. SpaceX Announces World's First 'Private Passenger' to the Moon Sponsored by Connatix SpaceX is dominating commercial launch already and will be making $20-40 million from each commercial launch and $40-100 million from NASA and military launches. Nextbigfuture expects SpaceX to win more and more NASA and military launches. SpaceX made $200-400 million from the pre-sale of the moon orbiting mission for billionaire tourist Yasuku Maezawa. SpaceX has demonstrated to the world that they can reuse launchers, rockets, which is a real revolution currently in the space field. Elon Musk is completely crazy. His long-term approach is extremely questionable ethically since he wants to colonize Mars. Mars is for him plan B. And I find it extremely questionable. This is not the American approach and it is certainly not the approach of CNES. Rocard is saying that making humanity multi-planet is unethical. The ethical thing is to only have one planet and to help Earth. Nextbigfuture observes that Dinosaurs were ethical according to Rocard. And what he announces loudly in high-traffic conferences, his Big Fucking Rocket (BFR ), his Raptor, all that is science fiction… And Musk is only concerned about one thing: transportation. In fact, it has the same approach as the Falcon 9. Let me explain: SpaceX, with its Falcon 9, sold the idea of a cheap launcher. NASA paid to see and funded SpaceX up to $ 500 million. SpaceX was serious and it is going well. NASA has contracted $7 billion. I do not believe [BFR] too much because Nasa has already invested billions of dollars on a launcher called the Space Launch System, the SLS. NASA has no interest in shooting itself in the foot by financing the BFR. SpaceX alone will not be able to finance the BFR and the Raptor … In the very long term, Elon Musk’s approach is bluffing.
  4. Finally listened. That would be great if you could get a press pass.😀
  5. I've never cared about rep. I just started passing it out more for posts that make me laugh or are informative. I think people that help keep the lights on here should get some recognition (I would think one would be ok with that over advertisements), but I don't think less of anyone without a badge or low rep. I donated for the hard work that was put in to do the change over and get the place off the ground. I wouldn't be opposed to Badges for people that contribute in other ways if that is a big deal. As much time as I spend on here, it is worth it to me compared to other subscriptions I have in my life. My 2 cents.
  6. I haven't been watching yet. Has the season been good? I keep being disappointed by 2nd seasons of shows, so I wait to hear feedback. Thanks.

    Interesting, so I read an article yesterday that said Bay was pregnant. Found out right before her outburst with Tyler. She supposedly lost the baby in the jury house. Not the same article but one: https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2018/09/bayleigh-swaggy-pregnancy-miscarriage-big-brother-20/
  8. Ha, you made me remember about some sectional leather sofa they had at JCPenneys a few years ago. I was trying to decide on bedding. It was the coolest sofa. It reclined, had a cooler in it, cup holders, I think it had massaging functions. I didn't want to leave. I can't find it on their site now. Coolest couch I had ever sat in. Looked real nice also. I hate shopping, but I think it's one of those things you just have to go shopping for. Department stores tend to have good sales on furniture. The last reclining chair I bought, It was the same chair and $350 at Dillards, and like 800 at another store.
  9. Apple TV - I gave my mom one. I hate that touch pad. It drives me nuts. Direct TV Now. - One thing I found really digging is the ability to "Discover" movies. Then bookmark them to watch later. They have a huge on Demand service, like having another "Netflix" like service. Especially since HBO seems to be free for me in this app.
  10. Oh fuck. Thanks for the reminder. I live a few blocks away from Auditorium Shores. I had forgotten. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/willie-nelson-to-headline-austin-concert-in-support-of-beto-o-rourke/1438037743
  11. Thanks, I asked the question earlier a couple of times without an answer. 32 years. Crazy
  12. Interesting. This was on my phone feed... https://www.burntorangenation.com/ When the Texas Longhorns attempted to take the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan on Saturday before the game against the Kansas State Wildcats, the team was faced with a problem — the home team was using the entire field to warm up. Twitter Ads info and privacy Predictably, the situation soon escalated, as Kansas State continued to keep Texas players from having any space to go through their normal pre-game activities. Twitter Ads info and privacy Video quickly surfaced with showed some mild shoving between Texas senior tight end Andrew Beck and several Kansas State players who refused to retreat to the other side of the field, as is common during warmups — one team gets one side of the field and the other team gets other. A Wildcats player touched Beck, who threw a football at his opponent. A Texas staffer separated the two while the Kansas State player yelled at Beck. Twitter Ads info and privacy Towards the end of the video, it appeared that other Longhorns staffers intervened to deescalate the situation by getting the Wildcats players to retreat to the other side of the field. Note the contrast to this behavior by Kansas State players before the game in violation of college football norms compared to the outrage from certain quarters last week when Texas put the TCU band in the upper deck in order to give students priority seating.
  13. Way to end the half! Good half! When is the last time we won there?
  14. Wow, didn't know he had all those tats. It seemslike that would be a pain on screen. I don't know how thay cover those up.

    Ha, Thanks. Yeah, Rachael, she was posing and waving at her friend in the background of the final. She seems like she needs attention.
