Comment I am terrible at faces (Score 1) 11

Even 20 minutes later I wouldn't remember jack about the person's face or even what they were wearing. I see on TV all the time "suspect was last seen wearing a red sweater and corduroy pants" .. like I could never remember shit to that level unless they were wearing a something really ridiculous. At a conference earlier this year I met someone who I wanted to follow up with later, but then I couldn't remember exactly what he looked like even the next day and went up to the wrong person twice. It was a bit embarrassing. And no it's not early stage Alzheimer's .. I've been like that forever.

Comment Re:Project Kessler. (Score 1) 36

These satellites are hundreds of miles from each other. Furthermore they are in LEO which means the orbit decays in under 5 years if they don't have regular thrust correction. We've already had satellite collisions in space and last I checked space is still fine. The only way for Kessler to be real (and that too temporary) is if someone put hundreds or thousands of tons of ball bearings above a certain size up there.
