Remember how letting capitalists control rocket design was supposed to make things more efficient?
ALT Headline: There's a Problem With Rescuing the Stranded Astronauts: SpaceX and Boeing Spacesuits Aren't Compatible
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It was a NASA requirement for each suit to have dissimilar redundancy. IVA suits are also an extension of the vehicle (unlike EVA suits)

No IVA suits is cross compatible and the headline is clickbait. They just need to fly up two suits. Source: the article

If you take a few minutes to listen, I think you might be surprised to find out how much we actually agree.

The phenomenal binding problem, in a nutshell: how do all these tiny animals come together to create a moment of experience with rich instantaneous structure? Why aren't we *just* lots of tiny animals? Wouldn't that be the natural result of putting together a bunch of tiny animals together? I.e. nothing, at least ontologically, above and beyond just those tiny animals to begin with?

Reagan also started taxing scholarships & fellowships for students & faculty…
While dropping taxes for the wealthiest.
And cutting social security benefits to kids when their parents died.
Tax policies can have remarkable impacts.

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

I talk a lot about Deep sea mining but for good reason
This is one of the greatest threats ever unleashed by humans who have no idea what they are doing and doing it to boost coffers of those who have invested billions in tech to get to deep sea and now want their money back
In Deep sea ocean Benthic bacteria sequester 200 million tons of carbon dioxide into the biomass on an annual basis
Deep sea mining will disturb this crucial carbon sink and fuel even more warming and extreme #climate change destroying entire eco systems

Economics is the art of presenting the decimation of nature as an act of creation, when it is in fact an act of destruction.
