You need two coordinating thrusts to raise orbit. Worst case it goes up slightly before going even lower and it burns up faster.

Love it. Great work, you obviously spent a lot of time and care on this project.


Universe Today is a great source for space science, is 100% ad free, and has a robust RSS feed.


Why not Gee-IMP?


How many events did you also forget, but don’t have any reason to even think of it again?


At this point it would be weird if you didn’t.


Trump doesn’t personally fill the SNAP accounts, and Trump doesn’t personally manage the money.
Start charging the employees with violating court orders.


People move to Texas cause they don’t have an income tax. Then they get hit hard by the property taxes.
Where do they think the government gets its money? They have to pay for the roads, schools, fire departments…
Save a buck here just to spend it there.


No, you can’t EASILY do that. You could spend a ton of research to design a machine, but you’d never get anyone to sign off that the design was proper
You would also need a SKILLED technician to operate such a machine, and that would require someone with medical training to do so. The vast majority of people who spend significant time and money getting that training wouldn’t use it to kill people.
So now you’re left with someone who wants to kill people, designing a machine with no oversight, run by someone who wants to kill people, with little or no training. That’s literally what’s happening now, and is the reason that people are looking for alternatives.


It’s not just a linear “happy -> dead”
If you get it up too high, too fast, there’s all sorts of other effects on the body. Seizures, vomiting, panic. If you get it too low, you’re running into problems where you might cause brain damage, or organ failure without death.
They usually use a cocktail of drugs that put the victim unconscious, paralyzed, and then dead.
The details matter. If it was simple, it wouldn’t be a problem. People ASSUMING that it’s easy is why we have failed executions and victims struggling, panicking, and not actually dying. It’s bad for everyone.
State sanctioned murder is nearly always wrong, and shouldn’t be done. Not JUST because it’s difficult to do correctly, but also because it’s just not the best way to accomplish the task of stopping major crimes.


Because it takes skill to do that. You have to properly dose and inject, monitor their vitals, and keep everything safe for the witnesses.
Anyone who has the skills to do it correctly doesn’t want to be involved in murder.
Doing it without the proper skills is what causes the issues with “humane execution”


You are correct, edited my post to reflect this.


But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
I don’t know why everyone is saying Trump can backdoor into the Presidency by becoming the VP first, as you can’t become the VP if you’re ineligible for being the President. (Text from the 12th amendment)
edit: originally said 13th, but I intended to say 12th.


The Illinois governor, Pritzker is a fantastic alternative.
Of course the best choice for a nationality known candidate would be AOC, but she also had the GOP attack dogs on her for close to a decade.


No, you have to be eligible to be president to be VP. It’s just as illegal as running as president.


They don’t want a female CENTER RIGHT president, with absolutely nothing behind them to rally the cause.
I bought my first TiVo back in… 2002?
I had to use my work landline to do the initial setup, but then I used a USB Ethernet jack for the rest. You had to do some fancy remote secret code, but it worked just fine.
Also was able to use disc mirroring to make a new, much larger, hard drive, so we could record essentially unlimited TV.
Because they apparently aren’t married, or even together.
