Well, that would only matter if there was some terrorism to be worried about.

Hmmm, wait a minute…

What “thieves”? No one saw any “thieves”. You can’t prove anything.

How pathetic is your life, when JD Vance is considered more popular than you are?

Can Massie not just run for his seat anyway, just in case?

That’s a bit hypocritical, given the fact that the DOJ itself is actively undermining the justice system it’s been entrusted to administer, by ignoring court orders and violating people’s Constitutional rights.

He stated that a link between pesticide use and insect die-off had not been proven

Oh, ok. So, he’s just a moron, then. That explains everything.

That’s hardly “desperate”. It’s more opportunistic, than anything else.

Well, yeah. As long as they cheat, they’ll never lose.

Saying it’s a matter of scale is an understatement. You need mass to keep the core molten, along with the right combination of elements to produce a working magnetic field that doesn’t fade over time. Mars has neither of those things going for it.

If you want to terraform Mars, you would have to rebuild it from scratch…basically creating a whole new planet with the right core composition and size. Even if you could pull all that material into one location and guide it all into a stable orbit, it would then take hundreds of millions of years to cool and set into something we could even hope to live on.

I don’t think human beings will ever be capable of that level of geoengineering. It’s just not realistic given the alternatives.

I felt exactly the same way about Elon Musk back in 2018(?) when he went on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and said the easiest way to terraform Mars was to just nuke the polar ice caps…and voila…instant atmosphere.

I don’t think I’ve ever palm-slapped my forehead that hard in my life. All of a sudden I knew he was just another fuckin’ moron with way too much money to burn.

So the solution to all those wasted resources is…to waste even more resources putting them in space? With literally zero actual benefit?

Lol! Ok.

Are we talking “in a lab”, or “in nature”. Because I may not have studied molecular geometry, but I know a lot about metallurgy. And “in nature”, every compound contains impurities.

So, when you measure a right angle in physical chemistry, you get exactly 90 deg with zero decimal points? That’s amazing.

And also impossible. There’s always a variance.

It’s actually true. Right angles are a theoretical construct, that don’t occur in nature. There is always some degree of variance baked into reality that violate theoretical absolutes.
