The cool Nokia hasn’t been a thing for like 15 years or so.

Have you ever been driving down the road and then seeing a cow standing outside of the fence where all the other cows are? I think that is the emotion that they had when they saw the explosion was so flat. IDK I'm just spitballin here

Energy under certain conditions is like water, it takes the avenue of LEAST Resistance.
Ever used a Shaped Charge to bring down something?

30 min seems short, but it is of course better than no warning. Thanks for this amazing team that will undoubtedly save a lot of lives

> need the gravity
There have been experiments with pregnant rats that were launched into space and successfully delivered litters afterwards.
Rats born in space struggle to orient themselves right side up in gravity, but they figure it out in a few days.
From what I can find, there haven’t been any experiments on conception or zygote implantation in space, but that’s because they can’t get the rats to figure out how to bang in zero gravity, not because of any specific reason it shouldn’t work.
This is a little reminiscent of the NASA scientists who were convinced that microgravity would interfere with Sally Ride’s menstrual cycle.

Not being an anthropologist myself, I can't say what the field considers. I am a geologist and note that history is not just that which is recorded in anthropomorphic records. Otherwise, history is only the last 5k years, and everything else was just mystical fun to note.

No one invented pop tarts, they've simply always existed.

Some of the CMB is polarised. The suns light is polarised by Earths atmosphere. It does happen.

We don't. Not for this "small" of an astronomical size. The op you replied to is laughably off-base. At it's most "extreme" definition, the solar system could be said to be 12-24 trillion miles. This is if you consider the entirety of the theorized "Oort cloud" as part of the solar system - which the article does not specify.
If your definition of the "solar system" is maybe double the circumference of Pluto's orbit then we are talking only 20 billion miles. A literal quintillion miles is about 40% the size of the Milky Way GALAXY. That's like 140k light years

The thing that gets me is that it says it was the largest test in outer space, didn't even know there was more than one. Also for some reason the image that they show of the explosion makes me want to watch Dune.
