  • This is crazy. The Artemis II had to get fast enough to escape our gravity, flew to the moon, did a Tokyo drift around the moon gaining speed the whole time.

    There are few good options to slow down in space, and the plan is to hit the brakes by slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed that so far outside human experience that the numbers don’t make sense.

    Re-entry is actually the craziest, and most dangerous part of this mission.

    I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I’m a Challenger-kid and this whole business gives me anxiety.




  • Like all news orginizations, Al Jazeera is shit when you compare it to the platonic ideal of news. However, when you compare it to Western media, it’s solidly middle of the pack. During the Gaza genocide, it was the Al Jazeera reporters who were on the ground and targeted for death.

    The biggest criticism of Al Jazeera is the race/religion of it’s reporters. People are going to show up to tell me that it’s Qatari state-run. But those same people don’t feel the same about DW, BBC, or NPR.

    The best evidence for Al Jazeera’s credibility is they are constantly being banned in Israel for reporting on that regime’s crimes.
