I wonder how dual boots show up in these stats

I know you’re making a point about how this isn’t actually about the cost of the program.

But to put this in further context, it will cost more to deorbit and waste these missions prematurely than to see the mission through.

The cost of maintaining the two OCO satellite missions up in space is a small fraction of the amount of money taxpayers already spent to design and launch the instruments. The two missions cost about $750 million to design, build and launch, according to David Crisp, the retired NASA engineer, and that number is even higher if you include the cost of an initial failed rocket launch that sent an identical carbon dioxide measuring instrument into the ocean in 2009.

By comparison, maintaining both OCO missions in orbit costs about $15 million per year, Crisp says. That money covers the cost of downloading the data, maintaining a network of calibration sensors on the ground and making sure the stand-alone satellite isn’t hit by space debris, according to Crisp.

“Just from an economic standpoint, it makes no economic sense to terminate NASA missions that are returning incredibly valuable data,” Crisp says.

Losing this data (and therefore the ability to coordinate and handle crop failure, forest fires, etc) is going to be a lot more than $15m/yr

Can’t let people see the evidence of all the ways we are destroying the habitability of our planet.

Thank you

What happened was a violent clash between US sponsored terrorists trying to hijack a wide-tent protest which dissipated quickly after the violence started.

Can you support this claim with evidence?

They could decompile it (disgusting), or they could places fines on them. Neither are good options.

Can’t wait for some rogue state to have the bright idea to intentionally nuke some ocean island repeatedly to cause a mild nuclear winter.

This, but the starting frame is a heat trap parking lot with nothing but death and concrete around.

My department just got called in for an RTO with zero warning, with 3 days in person for a ~160 person department.

There are ~20 desks available. Do the math.

This next week is going to be a disaster for their coked up idea of good business practices.

I’m glad I got all my shit off of there already.

Time to read The Dispossessed again

Agreed. It completely destroys any challenge of surviving.

I guess bisexuals do literally 0 crime.

I’m on hour 5 of a prod deployment disaster that started at the crack of dawn.

I agree, I need some sleep, and to not be doing this. We were meant to eat fruit out of trees, not debug config diarrhea.

And hunger

Hence why beta 1.7.3 minecraft is such a gem. It’s the last major version that understands that the game is meant to be played slowly.
