    1. That is pretty crazy. Do they think they work for Columbia? They should be charged for destruction of property and lose their pensions.

  3. Related, Eric Berger has the sads:
    Ah, yes. The Gulf of America.
    This is why we can’t have nice things.
    Ars has finally shed its last semi-sane subject. RIP.

    1. Hilarious. Steve Sailer has a piece this morning about the insane pay received by writers for Vanity Fair in the old days.
      Condé Nast even covered moving costs. Cash advances were a signature away. There was an “eyebrow lady” who swanned in to tweeze everyone’s brows.

      At least we can be confident that today Eric has to demean himself by trimming his own eyebrows.
      Acquired in 2008 by Advance, the parent company of Condé Nast, Ars Technica has offices in Boston, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Today, Ars Technica operates as Condé Nast’s only 100% digitally native editorial publication.

      1. By the way, how long until artificial intelligence platforms start selling product placement ads integrated into the AI’s answer to your question?

        You know that’s the future. – Steve Sailer

        *Sigh* So true, so true…

      2. Nothing says “digitally native” like offices in four of the most expensive cities in the country, and none in Mumbai or Shanghai.

    2. Yeeep.

      According to Eric, the Crew-9 Dragon could’ve been used to send them home any time. Unmentioned is whether or not it would’ve had the actual 2 Crew 9 members on it, or if NASA would have been OK with leaving them up there indefinitely with no ride home.

      “Ars has finally shed its last semi-sane subject.”

      I literally said this on another blog, although I said “author”. I also noticed they more or less ignored Starship’s #8 test last week.

  4. I keep reading “digitally native” as “digitally naive”. That doesn’t seem to be entirely incorrect in context.

    1. I hadn’t seen the other comments about Eric’s self-immolation when I made the above comment.

    2. It is subtarded to claim space hasn’t been political. Democrats have been wielding NASA as a weapon for a long time, regardless of how some politicians act on the job.

      It is also willfully naive, to claim the executive doesn’t control NASA or that Biden didn’t play politics.

  6. Berger/ARS

    “Ah, yes. The Gulf of America.

    This is why we can’t have nice things.”

    Berger can’t, but he’s not the rest of us.

    Gulf of America is good enough for me.

    When did a proper noun become just another pronoun?

    Gulf of ‘It’, they, non-specific other?

    Gulf of America it is. The Gulf of Mexico statue had its date with gravity. Funny how such things work.
