I think this is all of the Shuttle-derived launch vehicles I've modeled (I now have so many rocket models I have to make separate rocket garden pictures divided by category, can't fit all in one picture)
Which is your favorite, and why is it the 2009 Sidemount HLV?

To the people that think space exploration and monitoring is a waste of money: understanding things happening in space is critical to the safety of our modern world.
A big day for space weather, with the BBC reporting that a Mexico-to-USA flight in October experienced a 'sudden drop in altitude', likely caused by *solar energetic particles* from the Sun. Here is an explanation and some thoughts as a solar astrophysicist (a thread): 1/8

Very good read - but also good lord, kind of exceptionally spooky. The last days of the Linear Pottery Culture sound like they must have been pretty apocalyptically unpleasant to be around for.
This is an extremely interesting article about the collapse of early farming societies across Europe around ~5000 BC.
We like to think of prehistoric times as being largely peaceful, but it seems early civilisations weren't immune to ritualistic violence & cultural collapse.

I feel like 'does alien life exist' (almost certainly) is a very different question to 'is complex alien life common' and 'have aliens visited Earth in human history' (unlikely imo), but the former is often used as a proxy for the latter.
New polling on aliens
% of U.S. adult citizens who believe the following definitely or probably exist:
Aliens 56%
Bigfoot 28%
The Yeti 23%
The Loch Ness Monster 22%
