Okay but seriously. Is this like golf scoring or…?

Why not both?

Just write anything. Eventually you start to have ideas of how to build on what you started. The real trick is understanding that a first draft is supposed to be bad. Don’t worry about doing it right. Do it first. Then clean it up later.

I feel the same apathetic “whatever” response. I love rockets. I love space. I struggle to care about this.

The program is almost 2 decades late and using recycled technology. It is literally using spare parts from the shuttle. I don’t believe it will ever actually get to the boots on the ground phase. I am actually surprised they made it to this mission. After all the boondoggle from Boeing I really thought it would die a quiet death somewhere out of sight.

Not only do they have technical hurdles, we have seen normally safe agencies become political battle grounds. We see science becoming less and less important at every level of society. We are living through Idiocracy and they still act like we are the same country that went to the moon the last time.

If we see people on the moon in our lifetime I don’t believe they will arrive on a NASA mission.

I use stack overflow every day and have for years. I have never once had to ask a question.
