Out of all the things we've seen in the tech world of late, for some reason the ability to land a rocket on a pad like this just blows my mind. Just...wow.

Interesting stuff. When I left the beverage industry because of COVID the new rage was CO2 refrigerant systems. The were cheap but they were notoriously unreliable and were not field serviceable. The only fix was to swap the piece of equipment out. That sure is not very efficient.

That probably gets you a new refrigerator every year. I believe the problem with CO2 refrigerant is the operating pressures are too much of a challenge for the solder joints and the evaporator coils.

Ad Astra is a fairly good take on this.

That story is a take on the Fermi Paradox,

although the writer / director said he was really going after a Conrad Heart of Darkness story line.
