Well see... I'm not at home and I can't play any games before the 20th.
If that's alright then sign me up.

Don't be mean
Have you played LA Noire? Pip is Phelps during the war. A stubborn and narrow-minded fool who doesn't choose to do what's reasonable, but instead what he believes in. Instead of adapting he clings onto how he thinks things should be done, and they're bad. The ability to improve is something most beings have. What makes humans so great is our higher capacity, and if you're not gonna use it you're nothing but an animal. Only, animals don't have a choice. Pip is deliberately retarding his capacity to be smart. I have nothing but contempt for people like this.
You're being irrational. An educator is not supposed to tear down a student's knowledge and disregarding some actual answers most of your posts are just condescending.

NASA's whole deal is literally "For the benefit of all" That's their motto.
A great deal of things you take for granted in your own home have come because of the advancements made by the people looking to make human life sustainable aboard tin cans in a place where there is literally nothing to breathe. So even if the mission does not directly make your life easier, it's a worthwhile thing to do.
And it isn't NASA's job to make your life easier either. That's just a caveat of their discoveries. Their job is to make humans better and help us survive in outer space. They're not some humanitarian organization.
When I meant benefit humanity. I meant possible resources we could get to or discoveries that could further our technology in many different ways.
So mining an asteroid for minerals or water? That sort of deal? Discoveries are made sometimes by accident as well.

The reason we're doing it now is because some very smart people decided this would be a worthwhile expedition to make and would advance our knowledge of the universe.
Pip mentioned Venus or Mars, presumably because they're closer and we might be able to go to them at some point. The thing with that is Venus is nearly impossible to study due to the composition of the atmosphere. (We've only gotten a handful of pictures of the surface because of a Russian probe that landed and subsequently burned away in sulfuric rain. It only lasted 30 minutes or so). For Mars, we know plenty about it and as much as we learn about the planet it doesn't really advance our ability to travel there, nor does NASA have the money for such an undertaking. More work has to be done in order to make a Mars Human expedition a reality.
Also 1 billion isn't that much on the scale of space travel. Hell, every space shuttle launch costed around half of that amount and they did over 130 of those!
^^ this is what I was looking for.
Thank you for explaining something that actually got the point I was looking for and countering my points.
No problem dude. Just remember NASA is generally on a pretty tight budget so if they say we should go take the plunge into Jupiter's atmosphere, it likely means they have a good reason to do so.

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
Good song

christians are always talking about how "PERFECTLY" distanced the sun is from the earth, so it can sustain life
if it were perfectly distanced, why the fuck do people get skin cancer from that shit
That actually has more to do with the nature of the sun itself rather than how close it is. The Ozone layer is supposed to protect against the UV Rays but that's being depleted because memes.
If the sun were further the global temperature would be cooler and crops would have a tougher time growing which means less food for the population.
Sorry I "Um actually'd"
The oxone layer doesn't 100% filter UV radiation. It's more about stopping fuck tons of gamma and x-rays getting in and turning the Earth into a Mars wannabe.
You don't want UV radiation to stop completely.
Oh I know. I meant to protect mostly and keep it at healthy enough levels. That's partly why a nuclear war would be so devastating. The smoke would deplete the ozone layer making the outdoors treacherous.
It's important, but has to be at healthy levels.
In that event, ozone depletion would be one of the last things to worry about.
Naturally. Just an extreme example to make an issue more visible. Nuclear War would actually be the worst thing ever.

memes
Solid avatar but the background is too bright. A darker theme would accentuate Midna rather than be bathed by sky blue.

Can someone give me the skinny on all this? It seems to be of pretty big importance and I feel left out in not knowing what's going on...
Britain voted to leave the European Union, which will sever economic and geopolitical ties, including immigration and work visas, trade deals and more.
That seems... "Ungood". I've seen lots of stuff about the pound dropping at a crazy rate. What's the general consensus?
Far-right nationalists (Think the Donald Trumps of the UK) view it as a step for the UK to regain it's national sovereignty and don't foresee much ramifications in the form of trade. EU supports and others say this is going to spell the end of the UK (Scotland and North Ireland both strongly sided with the EU, and will likely push for further independence), and will set the country back in the global economy.
No one really knows what the end results of this will be, because it's never been done.
Oh dear... That has social consequences too I'd imagine?
Might isolate themselves for a bit it seems.
Yeah. Britain is going to be a rough place to be for the next several month to a year - whether as a citizen, politician, or economist.
Damn... Here's hoping they bounce back.

That seems... "Ungood". It does have its benefits; the EU is pretty corrupt. There's a reason there was such a huge divide.
Corruption in leadership? Or just how it operates?
