Thanks for the callout.

That part bugged me. The partial destruction of the moon would throw off so much of our environment. Tides, gravitational flux…

Thank you for your thoroughness. My experience started at the Genesis with “Mecha” and was not aware of the CD variant. Your knowledge is not wasted.

Given the grandfather/grandson montage, that sounds about right.

Just where my head went.

But there was the tease of Mecha Metal Sonic!

Edit: Thanks to @[email protected] for the most detailed correction I have ever received. Your response makes the word “pedantry” appear paltry in the presence of what you have presented before us. Thank you.

More a series of ongoing failures, whittling away of freedoms, vilification of the “other” (chosen targets periodically changing), and willful ignorance spread over decades. Just seems more focused these days and across more than the US.

Appreciate the anecdote and the follow-up C.Y.A.

There are serious risks involved with altitude sickness, etc.

That being said, your lawyer-speak reminded me of SNL’s Happy Fun Ball.

Hey, we all make mistakes. Like that one Imperial general who came out of hyperspace too close to Hoth, alerting the rebels of their presence.

They absolutely have real and useful applications. Just saw an ad show up a few times in short succession and felt compelled to make something of it. The commercial mostly just showed pro athletes rather than people needing them for various medical reasons.

A real piece of work and apparently an accomplished astrophysicist.

Hey, champ. What has two thumbs and doesn’t give a crap?

Edit: Now with whichever Hardly Boy that is.

Thanks. Wasn’t sure what to do when I first saw this cover. Then I thought “What would piss off dude on the other side of the glass?” and it hit me.
