There are things to do in orbit but chip fabbing is not yet it.

It’s actually a lot more complicated, to the level of industry safety issues. It makes NASA inches vs cm problems seem minor. youtu.be/sdWEGzWFcCc?...

A high level fab in space is technically possible with more effort than the carbon transition, trillions. One of the machines already weighs hundreds of tons without the support infrastructure. But there are already start ups promising them.

The bros had some issue, I told them their mommas should have gone with sailors and not used car salesmen.

The bros were discussing rack sizes in orbit as if they’ve solved all the other problems including who is going to pull the racks. The article was chat gpt ‚written‚.

There are so many problems in space that you don’t have on the ground including the magic of vacuum welding and cosmic ray bombardments.

Remember, Russians aren’t stupid.

Corrupt, angry, racist, greedy but not stupid.

Surprised the Ukrainians didn’t but maybe they were worried about upsetting the bald Anglo.

Just whack it with a space spanner and then terminal in, shell, purge the /bin, repopulate and whack it some more.

I have no doubt half the people in NASA are on the spectrum and probably quite a lot of mission specialists. But probably not the guys in maneuver space suits. Except the ones that are the absolute total Zen masters, one in a million, combination of jock and autism.

Maybe they can find some whacky crazy rough neck oil drillers and teach them tech support.

Sounds cheap and easy to find - the autistic jock right stuff ex fighter pilot tech guy.

You have water, energy, cooling, clever people, service access, security and latency in SE Asia as compared to space or as I recently argued here, the Gulf (apart from the energy).

I was reading some morons talking about standardizing rack sizes in orbit for easy upgrading. Brah. Upgrading how?

What would you have done if you were a starving Parisian looking on Versaille is actually the most pertinent question of our time.

This isn’t the sort of event that breaks people, it turns them very hard, that is the survivors. If they don’t get to channel the survivor energy properly the results will be terrifying.

Somebody blows up my daughter and her class, I am going to blame America, possibly wrongly, possibly rightly, doesn’t really matter.

He should have had a SAS guy telling him not to do the shit but maybe they’ve also lost the plot.

If the bodyguard story is true then some big shot‚a bodyguards got too full of themselves. Iranians are good at opsec but their regime is getting old and corrupt.

Nobody tell POB that Russians aren’t stupid idiots who never invented anything (a literal quote) and can also do geolocation.

Tracing by cellphones is not a level of stupid I would expect from Iranians but then again the single source pagers were below the expected level of Hezbollah. Maybe regime rot has started - corruption, nepotism and loyalty tests over competence giving easy wins to the corrupt idiots running AI.

I think the Iranians would have threatened to execute any captured soldiers if they did that, adding another problem to the ridiculous scheme.
