An interesting thought that makes me ask a few questions.

How much of that dwarf planet would be in scope to return? I guess my completely ignorant suspicion is that it would be a small volume of highly valuable minerals, or minerals destined for space anyway.

Also, what about the mass we are moving off world today? Have all of our satellites and rockets and other space bound craft resulted in any measurable change to earths place in the solar system? I would imagine some leave only temporarily, but how much mass do we permanently shed?

This feels interesting for the same reasons scorigami was an interesting thing. There are many ways to get a final score of 21-18, and I really wonder if this is a first.

Honestly this is where my headspace is at. I see all the memes and jokes and they just make me sadder.

Well my first recommendation was going to be Ancillary Justice, but there’s also Artemis by Andy Weir! It’s been a minute since I’ve read it but I don’t immediately recall it snacking of a “men writing women” feel.

Edit: Not super SciFi, but like steampunk fantasy maybe… Another option might be Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

Second Edit: Whatever you do DONT read Hyperion. Oof that one was one of the most ridiculous examples of “men writing women” I have read, although he notably grew as the series progressed.

It occurs to me that this FB group might be self pruning negative feedback for their approach…. Nobody in jail gets to go get on FB and say “hey so that did not work team”.

This is pretty fascinating, but I’m surely not educated enough to understand its veracity.

Is the basic take here that we are assuming distance as causal for the way we observe a lot of light sources, and it’s possible instead we are surrounded by a large gravitational field creating that distortion instead?

Mmm a fellow v8 lover I see. I could drink gallons of that salty goodness if left alone near the fridge.

Hey it sounds like you work with some good people :)

Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.
