Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I kinda like nasa. I know about the whole operation paperclip and developing tech for the military, but space exploration is really cool. They put a couple dudes on the moon! Theres a helicopter on mars! Its a shame neolib policy has gutted them.
Used to be my dream to be an astronaut as a kid but than i learned they work you to the bone in space, there was even skylab 4 where the crew went on strike in space because the work was too much (looking it up again now it might be an urban legend)
that explains the bone density loss
you want my bone density?
come and take it.
:skeleton-guns-akimbo:
Lots of cool tech starts out with military applications in mind. Take submarines, for example. Sure they started out as a means of sinking ships and drowned some confederate dipshits but nowadays we can go hang out with giant squids, find ancient ship wrecks, and occasionally implode a billionaire.
