Boeing Starliner launch delayed due to mechanical problems.

Good news: "You get to go to space!"

Bad news: "Boeing built...I mean, subcontracted, the ship."

Tunnel found on moon.

It's a slideshow, so here's the breakdown:
-Expected.
-Probably empty lava tubes.
-This is where we will likely begin colonizing the moon as the average temps in these tunnels are 17C.

Seems appropriate here.

Scientists discover 'hidden structure' in Earth's core which could 'rewrite the textbooks'

Long story short, the hollow Earth theory is real.
jk, the Earth's core might have two structures instead of one.

If you missed it, a private craft landed on the moon.

Also, all the planets (sorry Pluto) are on one side of the sun right now. This apparently happens every 20-30 years. So...cool?

Watch the video.

IF you haven't seen this story yet, it'll tell you everything you need to know. There's another very questionable thing in the video that isn't covered, but I will admit that I'm not sure of the science. See if you spot it.

More after the video...



These celebs are getting roasted on all SM platforms for just being douches about the whole thing by both the left and the right (right thinks they're jackasses to promote themselves this way and the left thinks this is wasted money AND that they're jackasses).

I want to go to space, but I don't need an audience and I'm not kissing the ground for the cameras.

This isn't a woman hating thing. This is the saturation marketing of a dumb thing rightly ridiculed by everyone that just happened to be comprised of rich women with highly, unjustified opinions of the skill required for what they actually just did.

They just got the equivalent of launched from a catapult, but with more tech mostly designed by men. And I heard Katy perry read a book on string theory to prepare for it.

Pretty much everyone thinks they're all a dumb waste of money.

And this one is only getting slammed harder because it is being advertised harder with GRRRRL POWER
