Winged orbiters are not an inherently damned concept. The stigma attached to them is the result of Nixon marketing the Space Shuttle to the public as being able to so things it was never intended to do. Cheap, rapid reusability was the last thing on the designers minds; the system's real (secret) purpose was to yoink soviet satellites out of orbit. The Soviets themselves realized this which is why they scrambled to build their own copy (the Buran).

You do not have to be a spaceflight enthusiast while at the same time worshiping Musk like the goddamn Jamestown Cult. The Starship is a promising concept but has yet to be able to prove itself as capable of surviving re-entry and landing the same way it did with it's hop tests. It is also unlikely to ever be human rated because of depending entirely on its engines for landing.

Have you even looked at maps of Antarctica for potential locations?

No one is going to waste taxpayer money to sent colonists to a dead continent to freeze to death.

Don't even start with your schizo shit.

NASA has turned into such a fucking embarrassment that it should no longer be allowed to have ANY role in space exploration.

Imagine if the FAA built all of the world's planes and they were only single-use. That's (mostly) the situation we're in right now.

We're all fucking homo sapiens. It pisses me off every time people refer to variations within our species as different "races".
Genetic differences between us are so incredibly small. Different phenotype =/= different race, you fucking dipshits

Please go back to pol where you belong.

Does anyone have any online AP chemistry materials that would help get me a 5 on the exam? My teacher does not have a style that I can really learn from so I need some resources that would cover:
Topics covered
The exam covers common chemistry topics, including:
