    It wasn’t the trip itself thats particularly viewed as problematic, it was the atrociously patronizing marketing surrounding it and that Katy Perry is just a generally vile person. Nobody is begrudging Amanda Nguyen or Aisha Bowe being along on this trip, they’ve dedicated their lives to the celebration of science and supporting the work of legitimate astronauts (and I suppose arguably so has Shatner, though he’s not exactly a man of flawless character)


  • How, exactly, does that solve anything? It’s not like we can add some kind of magic automatic residential cutoff system (that would just make it worse) and residential distribution is already the problem! Residential solar is awesome (tho home batteries are largely elon propaganda…) but they only contribute to the above issue, not solve it. There are ways of addressing it, but they’re complicated and unglamorous.
