No offense to the bald comminuty meant, my favorite commanding officers were bald!

I just meant some of the right wingers are already making themselves bald (skinheads) like ferengi are bald.

Perhaps not forced birthers, they ARE however extremely sexist and force their women to be naked at all times, and have no rights...

I'd say the rest of us are more like aliens forced to LIVE on Ferenginar.

Don't even get me started on how the average right-wing/incel/pilled male is basically already an honorary ferengi...

Sharpen their teeth and give them some giant lobes and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Some of them even shave their heads already...

My old school didn't understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it's too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns...

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I'm not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

No atmosphere means very little thermal radiation is pulled from radiators.

I imagine the best bet would be to drill into the surface of the moon and sink your radiators into the ground, fill the gaps with a material that transfers heat well.

Easiest version of that would probably be to lay the radiators on or just below the surface and bury them in a regolith concrete mixture of some sort. Probably not as efficient as drilling straight in, but way less complicated I imagine.

Me, having very little knowledge about keeping vegetation alive: "oooh, that's a nice plant."

I actually sent a rescue mission to save one of my kerbals and the science they had on board, and ended up needing to launch a mission to save the rescue mission....

Had to break it up into three launches, two to build the larger ship in orbit and one to fuel it up.

I learned a lot about orbital mechanics that day...

Total time in space was probably about 20 years...

And I may have forgotten about a kerbals in one or two plays....

Every time my wife gets mad at a video, I remind her the only reason she is seeing it is because she's watched similar videos before, so it thinks she wants more. If she didn't rage-watch, it wouldn't show her more.

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits...

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

Well that's entirely dependent on whether the Borg completely negate the death star weapons.

You only get a couple shots on any given frequency modulation of your energy weapons.

So as long as they have like.... 6 or 7 ships? They're good to go. After losing two or three ships. Just keep shooting until the death star goes boom.

If they hide inside a cargo ship and get tractor beamed into one of the bays, then I'd say it's only a matter of time before they control the entire death star.
