"This is something that will require federal legislation"

Right. Adding more paperwork and oversight is going to fix dilapidated buildings? Let's see how well that works out . . .

NASA is old, grey and useless.

Dissolve NASA as an Engineering organization. Period.

Let it exist as an agency to provide direction and issue grants/contracts for private companies to achieve NASA goals.

They need to give up trying to use old clock punching DEI engineers to do what a private company can do with 10% of the budget.

"they warn the reef's recovery could be swiftly undone by global warming"

Yeah because nothing sucks worse than being wrong about the dire predictions of the loss of coral at the Great Barrier Reef for the last 30 years.

Our hubris in thinking we understand the environment and that we can control it knows no bounds.

Comment LOL Fusion (Score 1) 218

Never gonna happen.

Barely making break-even does not service an energy market.

There has never been and there still is NO workable plans that actually commoditize fusion on any kind of feasible scale. The engineering is NOT there today. Given the history of fusion research - it probably is NEVER gonna happen.

Get over it. We all want it because we know how "magical" the energy potential is. But the engineering here has failed in remarkable spades. And the failure will continue because fusion is HARD. Too hard for even us to overcome.

Better to look elsewhere for easy energy.
