Just 12% Of Americans Want Exploring The Moon To Be NASA’s Top Priority—As Agency Prepares Artemis Moon Missions by Brickleberried in space

What? 12% of the population is 12% of the population.

Read the links I already posted here. It's literally basic statistics, which is foundational for almost all science.

Just admit you don't understand statistics and/or hate science.

I don't think that's true at all. We can solve our problems without energy or resources from space.

Where does NASA's funds come from though?

statistics are not relevant when the sample has no idea how "space things" are accomplished.

What the hell are you talking about? It's a public opinion poll. Statistics are relevant.

And we absolutely have a fucking choice in whether the US government funds going back to the Moon or going to Mars. It's a policy choice. How in the hell do you think there's no choice here?

Absolutely bizarre comment by you. Just say that you disagree with the vast majority of Americans instead of saying, "statistics are irrelevant, and we have no choice to go to the Moon and Mars", which is a baffling and incredibly wrong thing to say.

Avi Loeb has become a joke in the astronomical community.

So you're doubling down on being 100% ignorant of how statistics works.

Please do an ounce of reading up on this before thinking you're overturning all of statistics.

Edit: Disappointing but not surprising that there are so many anti-science commenters in /r/space.

Only a very small percentage of that 0.5% is actually about planetary defense though.

Greene displays sexual images of Hunter Biden at IRS whistleblower hearing by FloopyDoopy in law

[–]Brickleberried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You replied saying GA-14 doesn't need to be gerrymandered to vote R, implying GA-14 could only be gerrymandered to gain R votes, implying GA-14 isn't gerrymandered.

That is not at all what I implied. I'm saying that no matter what you do to northwest Georgia, it will vote Republican.

  1. Someone said GA-14 was gerrymandered to explain why it voted for MGT.

  2. I said GA-14 would vote for MGT regardless of whether or not it was gerrymandered.

  3. You responded with what you said, which didn't negate or support anything I said.

Presumably, yeah.

So "germ theory" is just a guess?

Are you using the fact that dark matter is a good explanation because it's "designed" to be a good explanation as a negative?

We discover plenty of things indirectly, such as black holes and exoplanets. We don't need to physically see something to prove it (or strongly suggest) that it exists.

It's both.

Density is actually higher in the inner parts of galaxies. However, since the volume goes as r3 , the mass of dark matter in concentric shells increases out to large distances from the center until it eventually falls off.

The density of dark matter would be very low. It's about 1% the mass of the Sun per cubic parsec.

That was one possible explanations called "MACHOs", but evidence strongly rules against it.

No, "dark matter" is dark matter, aka, matter that doesn't interact (much) with light. "Misunderstanding gravity" is not an example of potential "dark matter".

It could be different types of particles that have never been discovered, or it could be black holes, brown dwarfs, whatever, although observations so far strongly disfavor normal matter that is dark.
