A fun fact: Kessler syndrome is a runaway chain reaction in orbit. Collisions create debris, and that debris causes more collisions, and when something breaks into pieces, its mass stays the same but its total surface area goes up, and reflected sunlight scales with area.
I submit to you that our kids' kids won't be able to see the milky way galaxy because of this litter.
This is a great example of engineers optimizing the wrong thing.
Here are my two favorites:
Well, in the very least, we have flight logs. I think that's better than nothing.
The precedent RaDonda's conviction set is far from favorable to a profession which is already very difficult and taxing. This is a BIG reason.
These types of experiments were reasoned to benefit the collective at the cost of the few. Which might be a decision one would make, if the factor to optimize for is the long term prosperity of the collective. Morality is relative, individualized, ambiguous, and always changing. Concluding that morality is not a stable pillar for civilization.
So why are we sitting here asking the government to be accountable to our morality?
I think morality is trending.
I think what happened is the government started to get good at Public Relations. Morality has become a reason fed to us for justification of legislation that somehow takes something from us. The irony is, government decisions cannot be biased by morality in principle.
I disagree completely. Putin's decisions aren't the decisions of everyday Russians. And the Ukranian conflict is more complicated than the single-side narratives you are fed. Giving people advice is the morally right thing to do.
