I got a rocket design textbook and it really said "Israel has lots of enemies so it has to do weird rocket maneuvers to not get their spacecraft shot down."

Honestly it seems like every American wants to believe that they can return to pre-2016 arrangements, while not understanding that after Trump 2.0 other countries will definitely be leery of that. These countries also know that they can put conditions on any effort to just turn back the clock.

You’d legitimately see the rise of a domestic Hispanic IRA if something insane like that were to happen. It actually terrifies me that so much of the GOP can’t see how much military action in Mexico would destabilize domestic politics

All nationalism is fake but "we founded an independent country because we were angry about the prevailing price of oil and natural gas and disagreed with federal policies regarding pipeline investment" is even faker than usual.

So the most important trade corridor has a linchpin surrounded by an entity that actively attacks international shipping, and a country nicknamed "Africa's North Korea," all the while KSA effectively lost all ability to export crude. At least there'll be cool movies about our time period 🙃

Perhaps there will be a legislative majority friendly to Canada in 2027. Perhaps there will be an entire government friendly to Canada in 2029. But 2031? 2033? Until this country has two parties who value peace & democracy, no one can trust us

If you're wondering how the artist could possibly know what the KH-11s look like, its NASA all but admitted that the Hubble was built using more or less the same supply chain as the KH-11.

the author was venting a little lol
Text book paragraph, "Often the most asked question by spacecraft operators is: How could an intelligent engineer have been so dumb as to design the spacecraft this way? This suggests that it might be a good idea to have a spacecraft operator on the initial design team and even pay attention to what they're saying from time-to-time."

A microbeaver is roughly the size of a Guinea Pig, with thicker layer of blubber than their downstream cousins, the Martian Common Beaver. Optimized for the very specific task of early terraforming, since 2160 the microbeaver has been designated as endangered.

I feel like more limited collector swarms than the full matriyoshka are likely in the plausible-midfuture, maybe a % of solar output. Turning jupiters into compute fully seems hard, but a supramundane shell of computers using the Jovian underneath for fusion fuels and material feedstocks… less so?

@timberwind.bsky.social do you think Jupiter- and Matrioshka-brains could plausibly exist in a couple thousand years? perhaps à la Orion's Arm. I think humanity would definitely build dyson swarms and other enormous infrastructures but i'm not sure if we'd ever build a conscious/living dyson swarm.

I'm from Kansas and recently did a huge roadtrip (last week) around the Northern Rockies. The topography of Glacier Ntl Park and the Fraser Canyon in BC was incomprehensible as I was driving through them. Also somehow Utah and Wyoming make 80 mph feel like 50 mph.

Classic example is "Okay we want FPVs, what are we putting on them?" This immediately draws people up short. I have my own ideas, but a lot of people really never thought about where they would actually find the thing that actually makes the drone a weapon.

That we could demand our government commit atrocities of our own free will and do so at almost no noticeable personal expense, and that it would result in fewer American dead after 25 years than one day at Antietam, is terrifying to anyone who needs most people to be good for emotional reasons

Not to put this one person on blast but I find these sorts of takes really frustrating. China isn't guaranteeing anyone's shipping. China isn't able to guarantee *China's* shipping right now. The PRC responded to the War in Iran by reducing oil imports by roughly 40% and spending down reserves.

genuinely a bit infuriating waiting for the AI bubble to pop. I know it would take down the economy and that would undeniably be terrible for everyone, but AI is going to crash sooner or later. I guess we'll have to wait until the Gulf War brings about an actually substantial energy crisis.
