nooneescapesthelaw, w NASA finally figures out how to open a $1-billion canister

Why didn’t they just use a socket wrench?

This is why you don’t send an scientest to do an engineer’s job

Haha, not my title, the article’s. I don’t change them too often because it disrupts my flow going through my RSS feeds while I select things I want to get into in depth myself, and I know publishers make these decisions for a reason. The text is pretty ok though. Feel free to downvote them.

That was a good read.

Endgame capitalism.

Turn the moon into a billboard by projecting images on the side that faces Earth.

You think non-capitalist countries would leave it alone?

No idea but the moon is always colonized from a profit perspective so far. Haven’t heard anyone interested in leaving it alone.

I could’ve done it in like 10mins. Easy-peasy. Oxy-acetylene torch, fastener can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid.

It is being stored and a clean room that is temp controlled any heat or anything would contaminate the sample.

Thanks poindexter. It was a joke.

Peppycito,

You’re welcome dickhead, it wasn’t funny.

You’re a real Ray of sunshine, hope you have a great day

Well this whole thread restored my faith in humanity.

Also I snickered so it wasn't completely lost.

Peppycito,

Having a good day is easy when you’re not an asshole. You should experiment with that concept sometime.

Says the guy being an asshole

GBU_28,

The fuck is wrong with you

Freewheel,

Given that you aren’t the only audience to a response, even someone who recognizes that it’s a joke might add a little bit of context about, I don’t know, how melting the fastener might contaminate the sample or grinding the fasteners might cause dust and sparks that could also contaminate the sample, so on and so forth.

That all being said, are you okay? Kneejerk responses like that don’t usually come from good places.

Maalus,

A sentence needs to be funny to be a joke. Also, not everything needs a joke as a response.

essteeyou,

I think it was fairly clearly a joke, and at least a little bit funny via absurdity, like suggesting nuking it to open it, or wrapping an elastic band around like a tight jar lid.

Not everything you read is serious unless otherwise stated.

GBU_28,

I guess my other reply was too honest for the moderator, but they are cool with your rudeness?

Why are you being so rude?

faintwhenfree,

Funny, not sure why people can’t understand it’s a joke. But I’ve learned my lesson that I always add /S when I do the sarc joke

It legit looks like an AI image generator was told to generate a nebula that's also a bat

Anticorp,

I feel like this has definitely been touched up.

Mr_Blott,

Pervert

@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

I highly doubt NASA is in the business of doing that (and FWIW Snopes agrees with me).

Anticorp,

Read the comment right above yours:

@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

There's a big difference between "touched up" as in, fix the contrast and adjust the color balance, versus "touched up" as in let's make a nebula look like a bat. The first, me and Ricky are in agreement that they're doing. The second, me and Snopes feel strongly that they're not doing.

rickyrigatoni,

NASA always touches up their photographs to add color and contrast or else space would look very boring.

Whoa. It looks like a bat. Not like the horse head nebula, which looks more like a headless human to me.

Sequentialsilence, w NASA loses contact with Ingenuity Mars helicopter

So basically 72 flights into it’s 5 flight mission it went to far over the horizon and lost line of sight. So they have to drive over to it to re-establish communication.

  1. They’ve done good already, they don’t need to go this hard.
  2. They went so hard they went over the horizon and lost coms.
  3. Because it’s autonomous it’s likely still operational, they just have to get close to it.
SamsonSeinfelder, w NASA loses contact with Ingenuity Mars helicopter

71 successful flights on a different planet is a very impressive achievement non the less

tate,

And much more impressive than what they intended in the first place!
