Reply to Silicon Valley Bank posted 'financial crimes' senior manager job listing just before closure by carolinaindian02

I guess what? The last "financial crimes" senior manager got fired because he said SVB was doing crimes and the board didn't like him using those words?

Indeed. If NASA accepts (is allowed to accept???) this as a project, this will be a big deal.

I'm not going to say propulsion in space is easy, but it is relatively straightforward. Getting into and out of orbit is something we really aren't very good at.

Reply to What are in your opinion the scariest objects / occurrences in our universe? by SpaceCinema_

That the technology for interstellar space travel simply is not possible at all. Current technology of chemical propulsion and gravity assist puts the journey to our nearest star (Proxima Centauri) at about 6,000 years. About as long as humans have been recording their own history.
