If a company sends out 6 builders instead of 4, it means they've got a larger wall to build. Of course 6 builders are still going to take accordingly longer to finish their job.

I'm pretty sure it's the same wall, though.  6 people would get it done faster than 4 people would.

Sorry, being around these people has made it hard for me to pick up on that

Well, there could be diminishing returns at work. You can't always say that for sure.

Too many cooks spoil the broth and whatnot.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Challenger disaster. Do you remember that day?  I was in 6th grade.  The teachers were bawling and they told us all to go home. We were too young to understand exactly what happened, but it was truly a terrible day for the USA.

yeah I do remember it happening, although I would only have been 7 at the time

it was really bad luck with them sending that teacher up, couldn't have happened at a worse time really, the one flight that failed and there happened to be a civilian on it

this is the problem with putting solid rocket motors on spacecraft, they're cheap but they're like giant roman candles, once they're lit you can't switch them off

if the space shuttle had used liquid fuelled engines the computer would have been able to shut them down, but you can't turn off a big stick of powdered aluminium once you've lit it

Originally they were going to send Big Bird up instead of that teacher

It was really bad.  It was worse than losing the shuttle, 6 astronauts, and a civilian.  It was like watching our pride blow up.  The space program was our pride and joy, and it never really recovered from this.  It was kind of like the beginning of americas decline.

Shit, Google made an AI that was able to learn to get better at Go to the point where it could beat a human opponent.

Start training your robot killing skills, folks, because this is where it begins.

i'm glad the space program never recovered, though. now we've got spacex doing it way better, and i don't have to pay for it
DJGrenola
2016-01-28 07:14:02 pm
that's not true though, you're still paying for the orion missions, and spacex is launching a bunch of nasa payloads which you're also paying for
DJGrenola
2016-01-28 07:15:12 pm
nasa have been using private sector defence contractors since their inception, they've just taken that a step further by paying for launches rather than paying for things to be built

yeah, but i'm not paying for nasa to develop shitty space shuttles anymore

nasa is great, but they sure seem to suck at rocket tech
