  • Maybe I could have been more explicit. Without the planetary alignment that made the voyager probes possible an equivalent mission would be ridiculously expensive/impossible due to the fuel requirements (and wouldn’t be able to visit all of the planets)

    If starship/new glen/the rocket lab one work, it might become more feasible.

    Instead, sending smaller, simpler probes that just visit one planet/moon would be much more cost effective, but still expensive.

    We have already got a lot of the low hanging planetary science fruit from existing missions. New missions would need new/novel sensors or need Landers/aircraft which make them much more expensive.

    Even just a ‘standard’ interplanetary mission isn’t just an out of the box job like current earth satalites are becoming.

    Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

    My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.



  • It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.

    Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.

    Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!
