via ballon-juice  I donno, burn the whole mother fucker down I guess? btw, that onion article was the first report to actually bring it home. Until I read it the event was awful of course, but it was just one more horrible thing that happened somewhere far away. While reading it I realised how Id feel if it happened in my small country and it broke my heart. gently caress this indeed.

Surely it'd never be viable to make profit from this? Don't space launches go into the billions of dollars and that's just to get out there, trying to find and land on a speck in space is going to ramp the cost up the backside? Even if we had almost none/no REEs left, I can't see how there'd be any profit to be gained.

The astronomical cost is getting the whole thing going. Once everything is in place, the effort and cost would be trivial compared to the wealth of resources it brings.

Which is why this kind of stuff happens all the time online.

What better impetus for morons to buy guns than a tragedy involving them?  Love me some lovely meme/lovely opinions crossover. Nothing says "take me seriously" like plunking some words into a image macro generator!

Photoshop is probably the most common.

WW2 propaganda that emphasizes international solidarity in the struggle is kind of interesting.     edit: another really cool Japanese one. Japanese were pretty big on this, Americans and British too, Germany a bit, haven't seen anything like it from the Soviets.
