Hey all, I’ll be visiting the NASA Johnson Space Center in April and was wondering if anyone in here had any tips to share. Thanks! Also, looks like the NASA/SpaceX topic is leading atm!
Young Adult Fiction - Heinlein's The Rolling Stones and the treatment of Orbital Mechanics
I hope it is realized that there are many viewers who watch Angela's content to hear her presentation of interesting science-related topics. It is not at all difficult to find content creators beating political drums. Constant political overtones will likely turn away many that want to learn.
Nonsense. Everything is political now. The world is being ripped apart by madmen and every aspect of life is being touched. Get your head out of the sand and wake up. You don’t get to ignore it anymore.
Absolutely loving watching your vids on Nebula now (and then going and linking and commenting on YT to help with "engagement" 😂). Today's BookTube vid was A+.
I feel like "why money going to SpaceX would be better going to NASA" should be a main channel video, and you could do a clickbait thumbnail with Elon Musk. The Elon fanboys might make the comments a dumpster fire but it's fine, it's fine
Yeah, I'm not worried about the Muskovites. There's enough loyal Angelinos (open to better names) around to dislike and block them that those comments should all end up down the stack.
I would PAY MONEY to hear you talk about redirected funding!!! Wait?!?! I think that’s what I doing!!! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Love to hear more about thorium reactors.
There is a religious dogma in the US started by propaganda from Reagan and people who supported him that the "free market" is the answer to all problems. It isn't. There is abundant evidence that state sponsored solutions in healthcare, utilities, defense, education, and law enforcement work better than outsourcing to for profit companies. One of many examples: I read several books on the second Iraq war and everyone quoted in those books from the US military talked about how their food sucks since it was outsourced and how they constantly had to rescue or repair problems caused by Blackwater and other mercenaries. I put "free market" in quote because the US (and most major powers) never had a free market. We always supported various industries. It's just since the end of WWII virtually all the support for government research has gone through the Department of Defense. Virtually all of the major technical innovations that fueled the economy since WWII: computers, the Internet, GPS, LLMs and AI, even GUIs and multimedia (see Doug Engelbart's "mother of all demos" which was funded by DoD) were supported by DoD research funding.
Ooh, I definitely would love to hear more about thorium reactors and newer nuclear technology in general. Especially from Angela!
Asteroids and planetary defense would be a great subject to hear your thoughts on. I read Toby Ord's "The Precipice" a few years ago about existential risks in general and find that to be a completely fascinating subject.
You know I love your political commentary, Angela. Sometimes I just need to hear others feel the same. And your snark is particularly ace, hence I chose the brain drain.
I didn't realize how excited I am about Thorium reactors until I saw them on this poll. Love me a good Thorium reactor
Don't comment about the brain drain if it's going to cause too much psychic damage. It's rough.
