  • I’m in the middle of reading A City of Mars, by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, who goes over their take on the feasibility of long term habitation off world. Short answer is, it’s going to be a long time. There are a lot of questions, physically, biologically, legally, logistically, unanswered. At best, it’s going to be like building a cathedral. It’s a project for multiple generations.

    I also like watching Issac Arthur’s videos on YT, and fantasize about the future. He gives a more positive spin on stuff like that.






  • Baldwin is one of the producer (boss), who did not enforce any safety standards (allowed crews to bring live ammo to the set, allowed armourer to be subpar), and ended up with one of his staff dead.

    If you don’t know how my analogy applies to the situation you clearly don’t know enough about it to form an informed opinion.

    ALL workplace safety standards should be the responsibility of the boss in some capacity. That’s how safety standards are maintained. If the boss is allowed to shrug it off saying “it’s not my fault the staff is an idiot” that’s how we end up with new hires dying on the line. If you can’t understand that I could only hope you aren’t in charge of anyone’s safety.


  • No one is absolving responsibility from the armourer.

    But if I’m the boss of a warehouse, never enforce any OSHA safety standards against my staff, and one of them just signed off that they inspected the forklift that day without actually doing so, and I drove the forklift and killed someone because of the forklift’s malfunction, I am, as the boss, partly responsible for the incident.

    To say otherwise is flying against rules and regulations written in blood, as we can clearly see.
