25 years of meatbags permanently in space on the ISS
- AndrewKemendo 1y agoI wish more people, across every input from capital risk to physical testers and users, were willing to take the kind of hardcore technology risks that people were taking from 1940-1969 The amount of insane things done under the fuck it we ball “could work or might kill us all - let’s try it” ethos was very high It is currently very low which is sad
- bitbasher 1y agoYes, we live in a time where we worry about offending people with the wrong pronoun or stating there’s only two genders. I think we are far away from the cojones we had in 40-60s.
