Crossed the line as a science Youtuber. You don't need to be athiest to be a scientist, and he definitely isn't. But you should at least know the line.
Finding out this site is basically just a copy of something that already existed and something they knew existed just further degrades my opinion of him. Especially with it being littered with ads. The ad literally takes up half my screen.
I don't agree with intelligent design either simply because it is based on no data or scientific theory.
I also expect Destin to know better than to suggest that.
But still, I wouldn't say he went down the drain.
His contributions far outweigh this.
It's even more than fine to have a channel which mixes both, just don't claim science is all there is going to be to it.
It is so easy for me to separate the art from the artists, study me

Supply chains choosing thr cheapest and best sources is pure (and positive) free market capitalism.
Who is in space, they seem like nice people, I love the Smarter Every Day crew. (They actually tried to buy my domain years ago.) Pretty lame that they're running those insane Starlink ads but it is what it is.
But maybe there's a more reliable method it uses for tracking the ISS astronauts, and the Artemis II needed more human input or something. For what it's worth, both websites currently list the same ten astronauts.
I've flagged it and recommend others do the same.
1. I have had them subtly mess with websites I am working on and I probably wasted multiple hours troubleshooting an issue that wasn't an issue
2. I have had them break a web form when I was trying to purchase something
3. I have purchased some things I like from ads and wouldn't have discovered otherwise
4. I don't frequent websites that overuse them or I can't work around them
5. I'm on a work laptop sometimes and I'm not allowed to use them for corp security reasons
6. I'm not sure I trust the ad blockers themselves, their developers, or their own app security
7. It's another process that can slow down viewing a webpage
I guess.. just like how wearing a seatbelt could end up killing you. Doesn't mean the exact opposite isn't a million times more likely.
If your website is going to be used by people with an adblocker, discovering that an adblocker unintentionally breaks your website is a feature of using one, not a bug.
I have had financial websites impacted by adblockers, which is why I stopped using them. (I do not work on all of the teams building the financial websites I use.)
The main point is you were writing advice to someone as if they were building the website, when most of us are not generally building the sites we use.
Yes, because I was responding to a quote of them talking about building websites.
I could download some browser with adblocking built-in from the appstore but then I wouldn't have access to all my bookmarks and everything from chrome.
I miss the ad free web.
Neat. Destin has a great talk that he gave to/at NASA about Artemis a few years ago.
Is it really worth the potential of like $1 month if you're rockin the shit out of it, when you can host for free or basically free anywhere these days
Oh I checked whois on one of the IPs and they are using square space. I guess that's why. Gotta recoup something from inexplicably deciding to use squarespace
> When China formally requested to join the ISS program in 2007, Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA) supported cooperation with China, but the Wolf Amendment, enacted by the United States since 2011, prohibited Chinese participation. That same year, China launched Tiangong-1, gaining rendezvous and docking experience.
10 years later, they had a fully operation space station. Say what you will, the Chinese are efficient once they set their mind to something.
Sometimes a single party communist government has its advantages. When you don't have to worry about pesky things like human rights and property rights, you can move pretty quickly!
Modern China has morphed itself into a highly capable society. They make your drones, they make your computers, they make your textiles... and mostly, they do it while providing their people better quality of life than the previous generation.
Counter-anecdotes abound as you'd expect t from a society of millions. But there's widespread prosperity over there.
There are plenty of decent opportunities for those who want to work hard, no different to how it is in the US.
So it would be interesting to have a metrics dashboard view of it.
For example a daily / weekly / monthly graph of how many people are in space during each timeframe.
Filters by company, nationality, age, etc.
Would be an interesting way to see how space progress is being made and where it's mostly coming from.

Apparently they exercise around 2h every day
And these are the biggest ads I've seen obscuring a webpage in a very long time!
adding it to my collection next to
bit grusome but would be interesting to compare known time in space against increased cancer and eyesight problems that all the astronauts seem to come back with
I believe longest time in spacewalk was 9 hours but they spent 22 hours outside the capsule during the three days on the moon
cosmic rays are a b*tch
It appears that just hanging out in the orbit is relatively safe, going up there and going down is risky.
Same with aircraft, btw, most accidents happen during take-off, shortly after take-off or during landing. Cruising at a stable altitude is very safe.

Is there any other reason ?
I mean, they don't have lights inside the helmet that shines on your own face, right? That would mess with your ability to see.
