Also docked to the space station is SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule that ferried four astronauts to the ISS in March, and a Russian Soyuz capsule that delivered three others in September. Stich acknowledged that at least one of those vehicles could provide an alternative ride home for Wilmore and Williams.
i keep thinking about @happybadger’s (probably tongue-in-cheek) theory that 9/11 was actually 4 unrelated boeing aircraft failures and the whole “terrorist” narrative was a coverup carried out with the cooperation of the bush administration to justify the invasions of afghanistan and iraq. 9/11 wasn’t an inside job, it wasn’t even an outside job. it was corporate negligence and malfeasance, a spectacular coincidence, and naked political opportunism combined into a mass hallucination with horrifying and deadly consequences, from which we’ve collectively yet to awaken.
obviously that’s not true, of course. obviously. but when i read stories like this i do start to wonder…
that just sounds like a Coen Brother’s movie.
it’s all set in the same heavily stylized version of new york city as the hudsucker proxy
There was that plane that crashed in the Far Rockaways like a month after 9/11. If the circumstances of that crash had been slightly different, veered more towards a denser neighborhood, yeah it would’ve a 9/11 of negligence.
Remember when ISIS took credit for the Vegas shooting? Imagine if the US just went with the narrative and ISIS commanders become concerned because now they have no choice but to keep up the farce or else they lose face lol
You know the thing about conspiracies is that they often underestimate just how bad the real world actualy is.
So forget 9/11, current year American aviation is going through a severe crisis, Blancolirio posted about this recently covering the recent close calls.
So its not like its impossible to have multiple failures and a massive coverup, its just that these failures would have been happening for months before and probably after 9/11.
In the current situation though, its literally a miracle there was no major incident so far, ignoring the Boeing stuff obviously.
It’s the simplest explanation and therefore Occam’s Razor says it’s true.
exactly! the conventional narrative posits that nineteen hijackers are responsible, and the “inside job” narrative posits that the entire bush administration was in on it. the beauty of this parsimonious theory is that it only posits four failures in boeing aircraft, a highly plausible scenario to begin with.
Remember the myths about stranded Soviet cosmonauts and them being equipped with cyanide capsules in case they’re stuck? Wonder if we’ll see that myth manifest to reality with americans.
It’s always projection.
I’d trust a Soyuz with my life over any privately made corner cutting spacecraft any day, fuck that. Outsourcing spaceflight to the private sector always seemed like asking for all sorts of trouble.
Soyuz’s design is good, including the Soyuz-2 carrier rocket, the crew vehicle called Soyuz, and the Soyuz-derived uncrewed cargo vehicle called Progress. But there have been major quality control issues over the past decade on all three. Propellant leaks, coolant leaks, a failed booster that caused an in-flight abort of a crew flight, holes in vehicles, all sorts of issues. And Salyut-derived ISS modules have had their own issues, such as Nauka’s uncontrolled thruster firing after docking to the ISS which sent the whole station into an uncontrolled slow spin until it ran out of thruster fuel.
I respect the work of Chief Designer and his colleagues during the USSR era but I have little faith in Roscosmos’ QA.

Octavia Butler was a prophet
parable of the sower was written over 30 years ago before widespread adoption of the internet and other major technological innovations and social changes. how much could she really have gotten right?Beginning in 2024, when society in the United States has grown unstable due to climate change, growing wealth inequality, and corporate greed, Parable of the Sower takes the form of a journal kept by Lauren Oya Olamina, an African American teenager.
Listen to the interview where she just took what all her teacher friends were telling her in the 1990s and she just extrapolated it all! I find it really sad that she gave up on Parable of the Trickster cause she realized how difficult living in space actually was.
why would anyone trust the private sector with space stuff? neoliberal rot
Not even that, they already discovered leaks and shit before launch but went ahead with the launch anyways because waiting 2 more months will impact share values.
