This is probably not a question you should ask strangers on the internet. But my belief is that I have gotten my last booster, and same is true for most people, unless they have some other medical reasons, and unless something else changes this is now just over.

We are down to a rate of 10 cases per 100000 people, so it will just slowly die out from here on, or worst case just linger on forever as a mild illness you can risk to get together with a million other mild illnesses we never cared to do much about.

Nice - thanks

I do, but that is not even the same ballpark :-)

And how do you find new music today ? Or are we now just getting if from the last late night show we watched ?

Yaeh - the alternatives of discovery is really streaming services, but they don't give you the variety and exploration. I realized that I had been missing out on real recommendation for new music, when it dawned on me that my last 3 new artist I had was from The Late Night shows.

There will be no people on the first generational ship - we will be sending microbes to kick start "life as we know it" and make it "paradise" for the second ship we send.

For all we know, that could be how life on earth started, and the aliens owners of earth is about to arrive next week.

I understand this is your job to write these things - but if you cannot see the difference between what a marketing department do and what politicians do you are lost, and have no credibility.

I will undoubtedly talk to you on another thread somewhere else.

Not exactly the same league of lies ... :-)

Give us something more substantial - like proof of the election was stolen or something like that :-)

Can you show me examples of that happen in other countries, like the US or UK, France or Germany ?

I don't think so, because it it is a classical symptom of failures in the USSR leadership and them wanting to suppress history - which directly translates to any other program, including the Russian space program.

Russia only announced the launches AFTER they were launched, and never announced any that failed. It is a simple history fact.

Really? That is your question - that have been well documented.

So many more places, but given that only a Russian troll would ask this question, I would leave it to you to find yourself.

USSR and Russia has been famous for re-writing history. No open society does that and it is to Chinas credit that they stopped that practice as well - hurray for the new openness

Statistics - math is a great predictor

No new tech is developed with zero fails and 100% success :)

Great try - but believe in science

There are plenary YouTube videos with failed NASA launches from 50 and 60s - many were live on tv

Russia on the other hand kept everything secret until after it was launched and a success - and failures were deleted from history

Being open about failure is a huge step forward in credibility

We all remember the first spacex booster landings

Enceladus - too deep in the gravity well to not make a trip one way.

Asteroid belt objects - they are likely space building material for future space travers - would be a shame to drop them into a gravity well, even mars, which will never get a protective atmosphere anyway.

Colonising mars is such a short term small minded objective that will not really buy anything than a training camp for a future real goal

but they are also so small and not gonna refill any lost oceans

Ceres is a great object to colonize by itself - crashing it into mars seems wasteful.

Satun is a huge gravity well - moving a moon is one thing, but it is still under the influence of saturn's gravity, and lifting it out would be a task.

Crashing asteroid belt objects into mars would be far easier.

I think the simple answer, is "less corruption, less nepotism, and democracy and/or rule of law for all"...

Which is why Sweden does not have a border with Russia but Norway does.

What about just having 3-4 time the number of solar panels on earth - is that not a lot cheaper than to lift stuff into orbit ?

Or how they will kill birds.

Or how just a small failure, and the beam moves a mile to the lft and kill the next big town.

Or that solar panels on earth is actually a great safe way of doing the same
