My first thought on seeing this was "I wonder what ENB preset that is?"

Such a shame, I was really looking forward to this based on the teasers shared on the game's Discord server. I guess it's just like big publishers to put more effort into marketing than development.

One of the things I thought was neat when I visited Japan was that some places would give you change back in a dedicated little tray with rubber "fingers" that made the coins easier to pick up, so you didn't struggle to pick them off a flat counter.

Do I have to take my shoes off? This sounds like a shoes-on activity.

A quote from someone who will probably die long before we see the worst effects of climate change.

True, we've pretty much skipped the "socialist" part of "national socialism".

That's not completely accurate. As the NASA link you shared explains, the normal orbit for the ISS is relatively low at 400km, where atmospheric drag and orbital debris pose a risk. The article agrees that the station could be raised into a graveyard orbit (where it could safely remain for several hundred years; this a standard way to retire space hardware), but this would require more delta V than for a controlled deorbit. In turn, this means a more expensive booster vehicle and mission.

So, the ISS could be safely preserved in high orbit, but no one is willing to pay the price to move it there. This makes me a bit sad, as it means the most expensive and impressive engineering project undertaken by humanity to date will be destroyed.

So, I guess any kind of preservation is unlikely. I was hoping the ISS would be put into a graveyard orbit, so it could be kept as a monument, but there doesn't seem to be the will to do that. It's the end of an era, but hopefully that means a new chapter in space exploration is starting.

I'm really tired of republicans calling anything democrats do "radical" or "extreme" when they're just pushing for the most mild stuff. I would die for some actual radical left ideas.

Has this kind of ridiculous overvaluation happened this frequently in the past, or is this a modern phenomenon?
