To make Mars habitation sustainable you're going to need to launch hundreds of Starships every launch window. Some have speculated that it will take as many as 40 launches to fuel one Starship in orbit. The launch window lasts approximately 780 days so ~5 launches per day just for refueling - if something goes wrong you lose months.

For the moon you still have the refueling problem but you don't need to ship nearly as much to make a moon presence sustainable. You're not constrained by launch windows and there will be multiple providers able to plug shortfalls in the coming decades (I'm not sure the same can be said about Mars).


The EU can declare a company a criminal enterprise and the financial industry must then prevent EU citizens from transacting with them.

They said blocking a website

It's also a massive problem on Meta. Hopefully this action isn't just a one-off.

Does Meta publish it themselves or is it user–generated?

When you're ineligible for most kinds of welfare and have the constant threat of arrest and deportation hanging over your head I don't imagine you'll have much time for it.

I wouldn't brush off Taiwan or Ukraine as "political". In both cases it's about survival, and in one it's a literal fight.

Bro, it's political. Political isn't synonymous with "bad" or with "propaganda". Wars are waged on many fronts, and securing economic and hardware support takes messaging.

In fact, Carl von Clausewitz is known for saying "War is politics by other means" (among many other great quotes)

I'd say politics is war by other means. First we killed each other for resources. Then we decided killing sucked, and if your tribe doesn't kill my tribe, my tribe won't kill your tribe, but now we have to decide how many resources we each get. It's hard work to keep things like this and avoid reverting back to the default state.

That’s political, lol.

As a non-American I don't care what you do, if you want to behave like irresponsible idiots without any regard for the lives of others you have that right. Just don't subject vulnerable individuals in other countries to your own bad choices (you can get the MMR vaccine as an adult if your parents were neglectful). Maybe visitors from the United States should have to present vaccine certificates at airports or be quarantined at their own expense.

> you can get the MMR vaccine as an adult if your parents were neglectful

if you are still alive.


Canada and the UK have a ton more measles than even the US's completely unacceptable level of measles.

Thinning this is a US problem completely misunderstands the nature of the misinformation problem.

And I hope there's vaccination requirements for travel, according to how public health officials determine threats.


Canada already lost their measles elimination status and had several times higher measles rate than the US.

At this point, anyone pushing anti-vaccine thinking as an American problem is just pushing anti-American bias. Vaccine misinformation and hesitancy is an almost worldwide problem.


Is this product or hampering the way the web works with video? Go to any other site with a <video> tag and you won't face similar issues.

No worse than what a lot of their other "brilliant" minds are working on - ads.

Whataboutism is just fascinating. How myopic must your world view be that when you see one bad thing, you immediately try to justify it by pointing out another bad thing?

Especially with all the stuff implicating Trump.

5-6k airframes out of the air immediately, 15k+ if it extends to US made planes with Canadian engines. Not happening.
