Every person involved in designing and implementing the Moon-Mars Development Project should know the story of Donald J. Trump and the Wollman Rink.
The Wollman Rink was a popular site for ice skating in 1980, when it broke. Everyone could tell it had broken because it had no ice. The New York City bureaucracy spent six years and $13 million trying to fix the rink. Much like the NASA and Defense Department bureaucracies, the city hired a company with a remarkably elaborate and sophisticated system. There was only one problem—it did not work. Everyone could tell it did not work, because there was still no ice after six years and $13 million.
Trump's apartment looked out over the skating rink, and he got tired of the failure. He taunted Mayor Ed Koch until, in exasperation, the mayor challenged Trump to fix it.
Trump fixed the skating rink in four months for less than $2.3 million. The first year, 225,000 people used the skating rink.
By hiring the best ice rink repair company in the world (a Canadian firm that worked on a lot of professional hockey stadiums), Trump reached beyond the bureaucratic norm and got the job done.
It is an historic fact that in the Wollman Rink project Trump achieved the goal in one-fifth the cost and one-18th the time the city bureaucracy had used in failing.
Everyone involved in the Moon-Mars Development Project should think every day about how to save time and money in the Wollman Rink tradition.
every paragraph in the article is stupid and wrong, but this little story is especially charming. want to colonize mars? just hire canadian experts in colonizing mars!
dumbest shit I've seen in a very long time

I’m so sick of elon musk’s bullshit that I’m half wishing these astronauts blow up in his space-car
in other news, I just learned about the first spacewalk, performed by a russian guy, who was almost SOL because his suit ballooned up and kept him from getting back into the air walk. that part is pretty widely known but the stuff that happened next was insane and just peak russia. here is the story if anyone has been enticed by my clickbaity post...

The same day that cities are burning to death all across America the launching of the Omni Consumer Products of rocket ships is supposed to be the thing we look to as the silver lining of hope? Who’s surreal nightmare am I living in.

My time machine will be gluten free.
Once my fusion reactor goes into production, I will ensure all employees will be paid fairly and have 7 weeks paid vacation.
I will only clone herbivorous dinosaurs so that my Jurassic Park can be vegan.
Post more very realistic stipulations for future projects that are totally going to happen.

what’s the problem? It was your guys stupid fuckin idea. I mean who do you think is doing the populating? It’s not white people! But I wouldn’t propose such a thing because over pop is a myth, in the 60s they were saying people would be literally stacked on top of each other every version of this has been equally stupid, like all apocalyptic proclamations
The world isn’t going to end anytime soon you dummies. You aren’t important, you are not living through end times. In fact your timeline is probably the least important or interesting in history.
The world will get up to about 10 billion by the end of the century and then sharply decline throughout, which is a worse and completely different problem

Are citations for any of these claims forthcoming or...
"I think Elon Musk stylizes himself as some sort of a technological visionary," Herzog says. "Because he has to sell his electric cars, wonderful that he does that. He has to sell his reusable rockets. Wonderful that he's doing it."
"But I disagree with him when he postulates and preaches about colonizing Mars," Herzog says.
"And I have to tell not only Elon Musk, but everyone. And so I say it as straightforward as it can be... it is an obscenity. The thought alone is an obscenity."
"We should not be like the locusts, coming, grazing empty our planet, okay, and now where we go next?"
Herzog compares Musk's utopian vision to that of communism and fascism. Herzog says the 20th century was "in its entirety a mistake," which brought "the demise of great social utopias" like communism "as being the paradise on earth."
"No, it failed," Herzog says. "Second failure, fascism, Aryan master race will dominate and improve our planet Earth and really improve humanity. Thank God, both these gigantic utopias were brought to an end."
The same will happen to Musk's Mars city, Herzog predicts.
"Our century very quickly will bring to an end technological utopia like colonizing Mars. We will end this utopia very, very quickly within this century."
Microorganisms that may not need oxygen to breathe when they're in Venus emits phosphine, scientists believe. However, researchers say in a recent report that it was not phosphine that was found, but the 'usual' sulfur dioxide.
The group discovered that the original observation originated not from the hellish planet's cloud layer. But experts blamed the misunderstanding on a radio telescope's miscalibration in the planet's upper atmosphere, where compounds can be lost within seconds.
