Commander Reid Wiseman's voice bridged the 239,000-mile void, delivering a phrase that instantly anchored itself in the bedrock of human history.
The utterance, delivered with a perceptible awe, shifted the global narrative of the mission from a feat of engineering to a moment of profound collective reflection. Within minutes, the quote had bypassed mission control and ignited a worldwide dialogue on planetary stewardship.

I rest my case. By being coarse, it is easy to attract mindless followers who suffocate any meaningful message with endless facetious jest.

Cursing and name-calling used to be considered childish and uncivilized. Public figures like Elon Musk have made being 'unserious' and uncivilized mainstream.
When a professor of astronomy is celebrated for calling Musk dirty names, it’s clear that Musk has already won the culture war. He is in our hearts and minds.

There are medical cryotherapy rooms that use -110 C. They are used to treat rheumatism and some pain conditions with good results.
You go in wearing swimsuit, shoes, gloves, stocking cap, and goggles to protect extremities. Time is usually 2-3 min.
I think -165 C is possible if person is healthy, but I don't think it adds much to -110 C except sounds more effective.
Convective heat transfer is not instant and cold air is very dry.

I don't know how well people remember the history, but Israel (mostly Bibi) has history of direct diplomatic humiliation and undermining of WH or SecState. GWB, Obama, Biden, Rice, Albright, Kerry, everyone, once they try to have some independent Middle-East policy.
Those come in form of announcements or actions during or after visits, or direct confrontation when both share a podium.

I'm fairly certain that majority of Iranians want democracy. Monarchist and MEK are minority.
I'm questioning your implicit assumption that the majority of Iranian opposition welcomes attacks from the US or Israel.
In 2009-2010 demonstrations they were clear that democracy must come from inside by Iranians. They wanted help from the US but military kind.
Have things changed?

Does the pro-democracy movement in Iran support these attacks, and want help from Israel and the US. Or is this another case of someone outside the region knowing better.
I mean, monarchists and some other fringe groups do, but they are sorry bunch of pretenders getting shady support.

Left has been losing working class in many western countries with agenda of cultural liberalism.
I think it has been morally good trade off to push those values in exchange of working class support, and backlash is to be expected.
The cost may be generational and last some time.

Agreed, but presenting politics is also politics. Who has the agency in presenting and changing it? Working class and less educated seem to have lost theirs.

Can patronage replace participation in your opinion?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the less wealthy do less and less to change their situation every decade.
The Labor Party has 370,000 members (rapidly declining) and not many more votes in their elections, very few of them are struggling.
Unless political patronage works getting the "message" right and maximizing vote share is not the path for big changes.

Microsoft subsidiaries have lawyers and contracts in EU they don't breach local laws. Microsoft offices in EU would likely refuse to do that and inform EU.
Nadella would challenge order in the US court and meantime prepare to change corporate headwaters, or spin off Microsoft International B.V. (registered in Netherlands). Microsoft would stop being international company if it stayed in the US.

That order compromises EU-US data transfers in EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
EU Data boundary means there are no data transfers.
The company being registered in the US does not mean that EU citizens working for Microsoft in EU follow US laws and executive orders and break EU laws. International companies follow the laws in each country they operate.

Trump yields easily under pressure, obsesses over optics, appearing to win is more important than winning to him.
I'm not surprised if Canada tariffs are gone after his talk with Trudeau today, or in few weeks.
US companies will pressure him, public opinion will turn against him, and he seeks validation over everything else.

Absolutely. Regardless of background, it would pay off to keep 16-25 year old young men busy and out of the streets.

I have looked statistics in Finland. Education level (indicating low social status) and age are the most significant factors.
It's rare not to have or participate in secondary education. Among immigrants it's common.
Compared to population as a whole
locals with no secondary education do almost 5 times more crimes . Immigrants do 6 times more crimes. Immigrant status explains max 20% of the criminality, low social status explains the rest.

"There is a Western myth that political liberty is a durable construct, arrived at by a process of "enlightenment." This static view is a fantasy, the authors argue. In reality, the corridor to liberty is narrow and stays open only via a fundamental and incessant struggle between state and society."

South Africa is an example of how radically changing the system of governance is important, but not enough.
SA has a great modern system of governance designed from the ground up. A constitution widely considered the best progressive constitution in the world by constitutional scholars.
The lesser system would have crumbled within a few years, SA continues to struggle with massive violence, inequality, and corruption, but the problem is elsewhere.

I have an idea for a short incompetence sketch/story:
Republicans introduce a constitutional amendment to remove two-term limit on presidency to please Trump. It needs a 2/3 majority in both houses and ratified by 3/4 of the states to take effect. To their great surprise, enough Dems vote for it to pass. Red states ratify it immediately, and Blue states join the next day. Trump and his supporters celebrate in confusion.
Obama has an announcement...

Season 2 describes the follow up and right-wing links to McCarthyism. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra

Electric Solar Wind Sail is interesting concept. https://www.electric-sailing.fi/technology.html
The sail is made from 50-100 long (e.g., 20 km), thin (e.g., 25 microns) conducting tethers (wires) that rotate to keep the shape.
Electron gun keeps the wires in a 20 kV positive potential. The electric field of the wires extends 20m into the surrounding solar wind plasma.
It can be used only for braking (de-orbiting satellites) inside planetary magnetosphere.

As far as know, bigger sails and technology development, then diffractive solar sails.
Diffracctive sails, possibly with optoelectronic control would make steering much easier. It would enable stationary observation satellites in Sun's polar region or communication satellites in Earths polar regions.

Beijing admits Hong Kong-flagged ship destroyed key Baltic gas pipeline ‘by accident’ https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3274120/china-admits-hong-hong-flagged-ship-destroyed-key-baltic-gas-pipeline-accident
Accident is not believable.
1. There was no "strong storm" in the Gulf of Finland on October 8, when the #Balticconnector was damaged.
2. The research revealed a clear drag mark on the seabed that continued for tens of kilometers.
The anchor had to be lowered and secured. Then the ship started dragging it.
