shite. He always seemed like a great guy. Wasn’t big headed and even took roles that poked fun at himself or playing fictionalized versions of himself.

Also did some fan service/fun projects like that super dark but great power/rangers skit.


Just read he was starting to auction off his Dawson’s creek and varsity blues stuff last November to offset cancer treatment costs. :sad:

Except there really isn’t much on the moon that is uncommon on earth. Certainly not rare enough to offset the cost of shipping it to earth, never mind the mining operations themselves.

Hell, the moon used to BE the earth. It’s why it’s so relatively big.

Helium-3 is mentioned but I expressed that earlier.

Also pointed out the value as a building material for space projects (although we are probably a century from having that level of sophistication in space).

But people keep on bringing up moon mining as a way to make moon cities and what not economically self sustaining. Or at least self supporting.


It won’t.

It’ll cost around 90-100k to get a pound of material back to earth. That’s even with SpaceX’s technology making it far cheaper.


Why would we go to the moon for iron, aluminum, silicon, etc when it’s 5 cents/pound, 3 cents/pound, and 23 cents per pound respectively here on earth?

SIAP, but: a moon base with mining operations will also help pay for the Mars expedition and colony.

I love when ill thought out buzz words are used.

There is no value in mining on the moon for stuff for earth. None. There is value perhaps in getting building materials for space projects, and building it there. But not to send back.

Why would we violate a treaty we signed to? Zero military activity on land or ice below the 60th parallel?


You have any evidence at all we violated that or is it just “come on, man?”

What military base is there?

LSU will be dead to me if they name a building after Isiah Warner.


I’ve worked with students from his lab in a non classroom setting. They were pretty much all idiots that had little understanding of what they were doing or why.

One almost exposed me to a skin soluble neurotoxin by coming along as asking me to open a container for her without warning me what was in it. It’s only because she was covered head to toe in PPE I asked and read the label.

Professors have admitted to be there is an institutional pressure to just pass his students at the doctoral defense, even if they refuse to answer questions much less give wrong answers to basic undergraduate questions.

But yeah, whoooooooooo! So many degrees by minorities!


fricking diploma mill

. I saw a graphic earlier that they're using parts for this ship that are from the 1980's

They are cannabalizing parts from the shuttle. I think the part you are probably thinking of is E2061.

It makes me sad because they aren’t just clearing the warehouse. Another of the engines were on STS-135, which I would have thought would have been kept for historical significance as it was the last mission.

Man just said how it fricked him up and you come charging out the gate asking for grisly details?


Wtf man?

You need to touch grass because you have obviously forgotten there are real people on the other side of the post.

I do wonder ,do you think he just had no self awareness or just wanted someone to tell him something?

I just know if you had mentioned anything you would be giving him ”disrespect”
