    a fossil fuel is a fuel made out of "fossils"

    I don't know what the Official Definition is or where to get it, but every single definition I can find distinguishes alpha decay (the relevant decay for RTGs AFAIK) from nuclear fission, and beta and gamma decays are undeniably not fission events.

    I wouldn't say radioactive decay is fission

    In terms of delta-v, but that's not what you're worried about if there's an emergency. If you're burning at apoapsis it's more difficult to control where you land because you have a smaller burn window (as opposed to effectively the entire orbit) unless you want to waste the delta-v in normalizing anyway, and it takes much longer to coast to a higher apo or down, and the re-entry is sharper and more dangerous with a more elliptical orbit

    you should read Seveneves

    because somebody already did it IRL https://youtube.com/watch?v=pJdrlWR-yFM

    three legs good, four legs better uh, do you know why they modded that into ksp?

    There is so much here that I'm forced to be succinct. The answer to I believe every single one of your points is "no", whether because what you said made no sense, is completely untethered from fact, or would fail in every way. Somebody with more patience can tackle them individually, but I think you'd be best served by reading up on the topic more and understanding what nearly literally any of it means before trying again

    no, that's false, you have definitely been told exactly how and why this is false before, people please stop saying this
  10. NFUN
    God, 99.9% of the way there. I need to stop staring at this countdown

    was just commenting on the article

    That article is so terrible. "The IAU is using folk etymology to determine what counts as a planet, but Pluto looks like what people popularly imagine planets look like, so it should be a planet!"

    way to burn climate scientists

    they'd be throwing billions and years away by wasting time replacing two redundant sensors
  15. NFUN
    can confirm
  16. NFUN
    like do you honestly think you're making good points with things like this
  17. NFUN
    something that is like an old POS car? I guess that works for dead satellites, less so for their fragments
  18. NFUN
    It is unlikely because it is extreme and extreme outcomes are unlikely qed

    Lower meow-width, higher felinity?
  20. NFUN
    yeah they've definitely been around forever, just not positively identified as such and without described morphology until later
  21. NFUN
    we first noticed them affecting humans in like the 1960s

    earth is in frame...

    When I was alt-tabbing back to this thread I read the topic title as "JWST: it's dead!" and I about had a heart attack

    That's a good question with a very interesting answer! The fee for this information is 120,000 Credits.
