Indeed if you go back in history at any point of SpaceX's past and simply pluck out Elon, lots of things that SpaceX does now simply wouldn't have happened.

That would be horrible for the future of SpaceX. Shotwell would run it well but she doesn't do pushing boundaries of things like Elon. SpaceX would indeed be very successful under Shotwell but you could forget them ever landing humans

As long as they dont hamstring themselves by demanding they launch on only their own launch vehicles, this has some possibility. Better that they spin it out into a separate company that would give them the freedom of being launch provider

Seymour Hersh is also 85 years old, long into his retirement with likely partially declining faculties. When you get older your "bullshit filter" starts to go away as well. Also he has a long career of attacking the US government

There are plenty of "alternatives" that are not censored. There's media all over the middle east and asia that's not friendly to the US that isn't censored. It makes perfect sense to censor the aggressor in a war be

Sometimes when people get too old they lose the ability to clearly tell truth from fiction. Seymour is 85 at this point.

Can we just call them "posts" instead of "toot"?

And the British people still use Turkey, and always will.

Ah I see. I think that's fine given the current conditions. However at some point, long after this war, it'd be nice to see Ukraine endorse a policy of multilingualism, as many other European countries seem to manage just fine.

Given that Trump said nothing as 3 similar balloons did the same thing but went undetected, this sounds more like happenstance that anyone knew about it this time.

Find ANY source that says you can remove a missile's warhead and have it still work (excluding missiles designed to have no warheads).

I think because, to most external viewers, why China would want an escalation cycle makes no sense. It only harms China.

I had and lost interest years and years ago. It's the same thing it's always been. A bunch of made-for-TV drama nonsense. The people that believe this stuff are the same types that think 9/11 was an inside job, that we didn&#

I know of the song, also I think the song is known much more in Europe than in the US.

Lol. I don't get how people find random people on youtube and then suddenly treat them on experts on all topics. I think some people will actually think your post isn't sarcasm.

If there are many balloons other tactics would be used to take them down.

Nothing was "infiltrated". They knew where the balloon was since shortly after it left Chinese airspace and tracked it continously as it made it's way toward Alaska, south over Canada, and over the United States. (Is this thr

Perhaps but they're not going to show off any new weapons to whatever Chinese sensors are on board.

I've seen this incorrect take repeated several places and I'm wondering where it originates. Yes, the missile had a warhead. No, missiles are not guided by where pilots are looking. > Had the balloon been at an altitude the gun

You're not doing that at night though. The human eye isn't capable of that.

So you can pick out the type of an aircraft against a black sky at night only by it's wing lights? I said _by sight_ in my comment and that was important.

Turkey is the common spelling in English so no need for an update. That's not going to be changing any time soon.

by mlindner 4y ago
I'm not sure how this is related to this case? Isn't there still a cyrillic spelling of your city? Did they change that one as well? I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the English spelling to match the cyrillic one. Is i

Which isn't a concern as nuclear power plants are almost always designed to be resistant to earthquakes, even in non-earthquake prone areas.

Türkiye is not representable in English so it will never be used for in any article written in English that's not being written for some diplomatic purpose.

by mlindner 4y ago
More recently yes, but historically it was from the British Empire. US's influence has helped expand it to many countries that never had former extensive use of English creating many new second language speakers, but in terms of first

Agreed. They can try for "Turkiye" but not "Türkiye". That one will never be accepted.

Wikipedia is a better source for common usage than the US state department, and they've explicitly resisted changing the spelling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey And even then all major US publications use T
