I thought it was solid. I agree with some of the criticisms about the acting and lack of mystery/intrigue, but you can blame the book for that. I think the characters had to be split up because IIRC there is a lot of internal thinking and strategy that happens in the book that works better as dialogue in a TV show. Overall, the more interesting ideas and scenes come the further off the rails the trilogy goes, so I'm glad they got through a lot of the early wallfacer stuff in this first season.
Right. Basically if you're in a position to max other retirement accounts and are relatively healthy, it's a great option. Think tech bros and engineers in their 20s-30s making $100k-200k per year, not hedge fund managers with families.
probably the hundreds of workers that just lost their jobs because our congress prioritizes weapons and "border security" over space exploration
As someone in the industry, you missed the forest for the trees. There's a lot more to space exploration than just launch vehicle development. SpaceX isn't going to be doing bespoke Mars rover missions anytime soon unless it has a profit motive. JPL offers a very unique product in these one-off science-driven missions that the private industry has yet to be able to replicate and may never have the incentive to do so. Further gutting JPL just means losing out on those missions, which offer valuable scientific returns to the world. JPL is the reason we have rovers driving and a helicopter flying on Mars, oribters around the gas giants, satellites in interstellar space. The list goes on.
There are non-plastic pleathers, like mushroom based and stuff, though admittedly I have never tried a product like that.
Los Angeles is more known for aerospace on the tech side of things.
Yea, saw a comment that he wanted to go out last year but couldn't stomach not being a part of the rebuild. Seems like they're set up well for him to go out on top this year.
Wow, end of an era. Will be very interesting to see who replaces him.
Oh cool, I'll have to order some.
good luck with primer! better break out those timelines (spoilers): https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/blogs/the-projector/incredibly-detailed-primer-timeline-210027548.html
