My point is that a guy with all the money still chooses to do it, shows that people lose themselves when they have nothing to do that involves more than just enjoyment.

And the US is responsible for doing the same thing in 1985 and 2008 (plus their unacknowledged tests from the 1970s). The US is also responsible for blocking multiple UN agreements against putting weapons in space. The much ballyhooed vote against putting nukes in space only came about after China and Russia attempted to prohibit **ALL** weaponry on orbit (which implies that we probably already have stuff up there).

Wow, they budget for a Plan B! Who ever imagined such a thing?

I'm curious, what military application does Voyager serve?

Their officially acknowledged 1985 test was a response to the 2007 test that China carried out? Really? How does that work? (Of course the tests in the 1970s were secret so they don't count.)

Just shows that there is no amount of money that replaces some sort of meaning in one's life. Bezos will treat any business correctly, obviously he will be looking for maximum efficiency, which is not easy to do when you are a billionaire, after all, any issues that can be sold by throwing money at it he can really solve this way, which may be the wrong approach for a new business that needs to become useful by standing on its own 2 legs.

But it is just interesting to observe, a guy with all the money and access, he still wants to spend time working rather than enjoying yet another sunny day on one of his yachts.

Wow, only 18 years ago, just like it was yesterday. Then the Pentagram did a similar test a year later, but that of course was just hunky-dory.

It seems notable that in the recent UN Security Council vote to ban nuclear weapons in space that the Untied States was the only country opposing a joint Russian/Chinese amendment to ban **ALL weapons in space, which indicates that we almost certainly have non-nuclear weapons on orbit already.

Like NASA is ever allowed to do anything without permission from the Pentagram . . .

So reading comprehension was never something that you learned as a kid? Damn, the educational system failed you completely. Home schooled?

No. FF is hopelessly enshittified. The only way to fix it is to strip out all the telemetry/AI/adware and preinstall good adblock. The result is called LibreWolf and is the browser you *thought* you were supposed to get with FF

Lately it's been the first one, I haven't run into the other claims for a while.

True enough, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Google less and less. It just irritates me that the company thinks it knows what I want better than I do, especially when I know that their 'summary' is artificially slanted towards whatever the company WANTS that I should believe rather than what's actually real.

Maybe I'm old or out of touch (or both) but for the life of me I cannot think of a reason for that number to be more than maybe 1% outside of some lazy programmers.
