I'm not sour over Napoleon. I'm opposed to saying hmm maybe he wasn't so bad and did he really do anything that awful because the answer is clearly yes he was pretty awful.
Ok.
I am sour about the british making norway starve, though. It's another one in a long line of transgressions from 1066 until now.
You just wait until 2066. We'll have our comeuppance yet.
The Air Force has certified SpaceX to fly Department of Defense payloads
Now, they currently have a capability problem that restricts them to only about 1/3 of the available payloads
But the Falcon Heavy, set to fly in the next year, should solve that problem quite handily
Anyway what I'm trying to say is this news has given me my latest and biggest SpaceX boner
when are we getting a moon base
We'll probably get an asteroid at a Lagrange point before we get a moon base
Whichever provides better resources for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), the latest acronym of importance in space exploration
For my part, I just want to express my continued support and appreciation and hope for the growth of the United States military-industrial complex
either's good with me
ISRU is all well and good but I'm not gonna be impressed impressed until we get some space infrastructure. IE permanent bases who do ISRU.
I feel like a fairly obvious long-term goal is to establish a moon- or asteroid-base for such purposes, certainly.
In general, launching out of an atmosphere sucks hard, and we should do everything we can to minimize how much stuff we need to get off of Earth to help facilitate our future space exploration
Until and unless we get a Space Elevator
But if we get one of those, the point will be moot because I'll be in space and I won't give a damn what you Earthbound folk think is your next step in space exploration
Still there is the underlying belief that, in this case the market, will produce more equitable results among the population than regulation or government.
Optimist. A weird deluded sort but still optimist.

The big secret to anarchist is they are all optimist.
One cannot believe in that system unless you believe people can better than they are.
The underlying reality in their mind is people are innately caring about others.
It is kind of cute.
This ignores the incentives that motivate people.
They think anarchy is some sort of Utopia.
But honestly the best case scenario is slab city. That is the best anarchists can possibly hope for. And it's kind of sad
The worst and most likely are places like Somalia, or DRC that is truly anarchy with nobody in charge. This is what human nature without accountability actually is.
there's worse these days with the PUAs running around
I once lurked in a blog where a serial commenter (apparently seriously) advocated that The Good Life entailed a stateless society where men could challenge other men to single combat for possession of their women, as some kind of savannahesque genetic apotheosis

The Falcon Heavy hasn't flown yet, and I'm of mixed minds about how I feel about that.
For those of you wondering, the Falcon Heavy is basically a standard Falcon 9 launch vehicle (which I imagine needs no introduction from me, by this point) with two more Falcon 9 first stages strapped to either side of it
On launch, all three first stages (27 engines!) propel the vehicle, with the two side stages falling away first, then the central first stage, allowing the second stage (and 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc depending on payload) to continue on their way.
On one hand, while a test flight is of course necessary to ensure that the vehicle is sound, it's not as if the concept is so revolutionary that there's really any risk of things not going according to plan. Meanwhile, SpaceX continues development on the Falcon 9 vehicle, making it more efficient and powerful itself, capable of lifting larger payloads to more ambitious destinations all on its own. These developments will additionally affect how a Falcon Heavy performs, and so they may not want to launch one until they've stabilized their Falcon 9 design.
Additionally, until they establish their capability to reliably recover their first stages, they may be reluctant to launch three of them just to test a concept that, as I said earlier, really only needs to be tested as a matter of course.
That being said, I know they already have a number of payloads set for the Falcon Heavy, and I imagine this news from the Air Force has just lit a fire under their collective asses about needing the payload capability ASAP to secure as many of those sweet sweet Department of Defense contracts as possible.
For those wondering, 27 engines firing in unison is neither a record nor even particularly peculiar, thanks to how the Russians like to get most of their payloads into orbit. Soyuz launch vehicles, depending on how you count the engines, routinely ignite 32 engines on the launchpad.

I daresay that strains of post-anarchism have more complex views of the human condition
We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major...

But then again, if they hadn't done what they done I'd be a ginger instead of an intelligent brunette, so maybe history is complex!

I would say theoretical and academic anarchism and post-anarchism probably do.
I would not say popular anarchism, especially of the sort that paints anarchy symbols on vote Tory graffiti, do.

look at how well that helmet is made
and the plain slightly-sleeker astronaut-ish bone white look of it compared to the dark coat, the red lining, the brocade down the side...
