the number of spacecraft failures recently has been absolutely insane and it all comes down to tech bros barging into the industry going "it's not that hard wtf is nasa so bad" and then completely skipping out on any testing
Recently, a privately funded asteroid mission failed immediately after launch. Here are some choice excerpts from the company's blog post about it:
they cost that much because they do integration testing
.....by skipping integration testing
"skipping integration testing was the right move actually"
come fucking on.
AND YOU FUCKING LAUNCHED ANYWAYS
it failed immediately you dipshits
or you could. i don't know. do integration testing?
At that point we should just call it littering.
An autistic child has a meltdown in public. People respond by saying that the child deserves a beating.
A grown man does a Nazi salute. People respond by saying that he didn't mean to because he's autistic and we should cut him some slack.
here's the thing about the fucking tariffs. besides Unfairly Punishing Our FUCKING ALLIES YOU MORON- okay okay. anyway. the other thing
the other thing is that we have no manufacturing here
most of the fabric I buy to make my clothes is made overseas. I would actually love to buy wool from a local, unionized woolen mill! I'd be pleased as punch to do that! it's better for the environment and creates good local jobs that don't have a barrier of entry re: college degrees, which we need more of!
except we don't have any more fucking woolen mills because your billionaire ilk outsourced all of them to avoid union rules, OSHA, and paying minimum wage, when those things became commonplace and/or law. you orange fuckface
"buy American instead!!!" okay FROM FUCKING WHERE. we don't MAKE shit here anymore. and the few remaining local producers have been forced to charge exorbitant prices because they're competing with cheap unethical labor practices from big companies, so most people can't afford to buy local
god it's all so fucking stupid and I have to suffer for other people's idiocy that I actively tried to prevent
That’s the real problem whenever anyone talks about how manufacturing jobs “went away.” No, they were sent away and no one ever talks about taking measures against the bosses and owners and companies who sent them in order to make a few bucks more.
I don't usually get hyped about national protests but they got people out in THE VILLAGES??? If ur from Florida you know why that's crazy.
