    Space stuff...

    IIRC, over half of what we've tried to land on Mars, we've either smashed into the surface or missed the planet completely. And that's stuff weighing a tonne or so at most. You can't land a microwave oven - intact anyway - on Mars with just a parachute. Much less humans, or a 100t habitation...

    Space stuff...

    When you're skimming the clouds, the only danger is zero G, you say. Whatever, but that's not relevant to space travel, where you can add radiation exposure outside of the earth's magnetosphere. Which, given a decent solar storm, won't give the astronauts cancer: it'll kill them in minutes...

    Trumpist Brexers heading for the exit

    People who are in leadership positions, who dismissed what was staring them in the face (as well as dismissing those who were pointing it out to them), and who are now trying to rewrite the narrative to deny their poor judgment. Is another take on it.
