Jonathan Christopher McDowell (born 1960) is an astronomer and astrophysicist at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Johannes Kepler (27 December 1571 – 15 November 1630) was a German astronomer, mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher and writer on music. He is a key figure in the 17th-century Scientific Revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion

So uh... I understand that Kepler has died, but in what sense did he make him the Orbital Police?

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 months ago

well, perhaps Kepler didnt, but Newtonian physics deputised them both.

musk may stink... but he's not a nobody

It's close though.

He's a CEO of some companies and he has a shit load of potential money in stocks, but other than that he's just a shitposter on twitter.

His actual influence is miniscule. He did not achieve anything worth remembering in the future. His legacy will be "most money 2022"

[–] xor@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago

he's a cunt... but he definitely did some things and shifted some things...

i despise him quite a bit, especially now that he's drifting into alt-right chudism... but he founded spacex... did a lot for electric and self driving vehicles...

and sure he's a shitposter on twitter, but he's in the news constantly about it... he's definitely leaving a shitsmeared footprint on history and is thus, a somebody...
