Japan already has universal healthcare.

Columbia was lost on reentry due to the heatshield being damaged by large chunks of foam insulation breaking off the external tank during launch due to thermal cycling beyond the foam's design spec (too many launch scrubs). The SRBs had nothing to do with it. And Challenger's O-ring breach sealed itself, as designed. The problem was that it also created a weak spot in the casing which was torn apart by upper level wind shear so severe that it alone should've delayed the launch.

Propless rubber ducking.

Because it has nothing to do with stopping or even reducing insider trading. They just slapped that name on their election interference bill to make it unpopular to vote against.

Even if IK Pegasi A went supergiant a couple million years ahead of schedule and set off its companion white dwarf, we'd barely notice aside from a sudden spike in astrophotography. It'd take a race of spacefaring gods dropping Betelgeuse or Eta Carinae on our doorstep via artificial wormhole (or more likely yoinking Earth the other way) for a supernova to ever be a problem for us.

None of the stars that would be close enough to hurt us at the end of their lifespans are massive enough to actually become supernovae.

A mess.

Given the environmental damage they're already doing, I'd say Faro.

Nah. I'm budgeting about $80/stack for my eventual setup, well worth it just for the decreased labor costs compared to conventional gardening. Never have to pull weeds if there's nowhere for them to take root.

About the same cost as a really nice raised garden bed, but with a much smaller footprint and a lot less maintenance, and it's a lot easier to move under cover if a big storm rolls in.

Not the most coordinated FOD walk I've seen, but they got there eventually.

Passing Through Gethsemane, one of my favorites. And it was actually going quite well, until the point that it wasn't.

Dragon does not touch down on land.

But they *are* under contract for Artemis III's lander, unless Blue Origin can pull some god-tier development cadence outta their butts.

Roscosmos.

They don't need to have their own. They just need to let someone else put them there, like Cuba did in '62.

If they gave half a shit about evidence, they wouldn't be flat Earthers/Apollo deniers/conspiracy theorists in general in the first place.

Also white surfaces, such as writing your kids' names on hard-boiled eggs before dying them for Easter.

True, but as a cold recruitment tactic? Eh, guess it's a battle between "You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar" and "You can get more with a kind word and a two-by-four than you can with just a kind word."

There's nicer ways to ask for a third, but okay. :v

For all we know, there could be half a dozen empty jugs just out of frame.
