Boeing says they're not quite stranded. Supposedly the delays are to do diagnostics on the thrusters while attached to the station, since the part that had an issue gets ejected and burns up in the atmosphere when the capsule returns. That is, if you believe Boeing.

The silhouette of a thin wire mesh is basically non-existent. A thin wire mesh in space is basically invisible. You don't need much surface area to reflect or detect radio waves.

Detect the existence of? no. Determine the size of? yes.

Only militaries or people closely connected to governments are scanning near-earth space with high-precision radar. Try to build a radar that can tell you more than "yup, there's something there all right" and some men in suits will show up before you break ground.

Militaries can see it. They wouldn't talk about it because that would tip their hand about what their observation capabilities are. Just looking at the launch vehicles and retired historic designs, spy satellites are YUGE.

You're thinking it would be a huge, hulking structure like an earth-based telescope. In space, it could just be a kilometer-wide sparse net of fine wire. It would weigh next to nothing compared to its size. Rumor has it there are already spy satellites with that general construction.

The old ones, of course. But everything new should be in space. Even radio telescopes. Especially radio telescopes.

Not a single penny more should be spent building ground-based telescopes by anyone ever.

Other people's cells get attacked by your immune system like an infection. That is what transplant rejection is, and why transplant recipients have to take immunosuppressants.

What bothered me was when they were doing it with squirt guns during the plandemic, as if God would be fooled into not seeing their total unbelief, crippling fear of the sniffles, and pathetic cowardice in the face of fines. It reeked of "sabbath light switch" nonsense. I don't believe in infant baptism (nor do I believe that it is sinful), but surely their actions will be counted against them because *they* believed in it.

Historically, fathers in this situation would often do a lot less posting of the video on the internet and a lot more of things that are not on the internet, nor should be mentioned on the internet. Modern times are interesting.

Hot take: while piracy is *not* theft, banning someone from a game they paid for without a full refund *definitely is.*
