Well, I for one am getting my hopes up.

“Be waiting out front of the HAB, Watney, we’re not fucking waiting for you to get dressed. Places to be.”

Guys. Guys. I’ve been following this story for a while now and you don’t get it. Some guy made this and was like “well hi I made a thing and it shouldn’t go but it goes.”

And the science community was like okay that… there’s no way that works.

Then they tested it theoretically and it worked.

Then NASA was like okay but technically this breaks one of Newton’s laws so even if it theoretically goes it won’t like, actually go. So they built it and tested it more and it works.

So what we have now is the scientific community slowly cautiously freaking out because this GODDAMN EM DRIVE breaks the RULES OF PHYSICS but every time we test it, it FUCKING WORKS.

How cool is this????

Every time we’ve found something “broken” that functions, it means something is wrong with our understanding of reality. The next step is to figure out what, figure out what’s true, and open up a plethora of new scientific discoveries.

@milkdromeduh!

I am literally shrieking right now and will not stop ever

My favourite fact about Star Trek TOS is that, because automatic doors weren’t invented yet, the ‘automatic doors’ in TOS were really just some guy yanking a rope and pulley system to make them slide open. Problem was the person was far enough away that they couldn’t see when exactly the doors needed to be open, and relied on a signal from somebody just off set. The actors, however, had to act as if they were 100% confident the doors were going to open at the exact time and moment despite the fact that they occasionally did not which lead to multiple occasions in which the actors walked directly into the doors while they were opening. 

the tos blooper reel is a gift from god

Conference Room Board: Meeting Themes

With today being 9/11, it can reasonably be assumed that, as usual, this site will be deluged with a flurry of “but what about the deaths in the War on Terror?” and general accusations of racism, often from people who were not old enough to remember the outright fear of that autumn day. That’s not conjecture, that’s just experience from having been on this site for five years. But here’s the issue with those posts:

It’s Not About You.

9/11 is not a day to discuss the moral implications of the GWOT. 9/11 is not a day to debate the righteousness of the War in Iraq, or to rail against profiling in airports. This is not a day of debate. This is a day of remembrance, and to take the day in which the United States and over a hundred other nations remember the loss of innocent civilians and turn it into a Post About Me is nothing short of infantile. This is a day where we remember the loss of 2,977 civilians and military/government personnel at the hands of 19 murderers. Not madmen, as these people knew absolutely well what they were doing, but ruthless, calculating slaughterers of innocent lives. We remember the heroism of people like Rick Rescorla and the crew of Ladder 15, who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others may live. This is a day of remembrance, and while we may hold thoughts of this day in our hearts as reasons why we fight, this is not the day to stick a big arrow at yourself saying “look at me!” This is a day for others who can’t be here. Remember that.
