I don't know why everyone who writes about space insists on using the word "Cadence". It's not the right word. The word you're looking for is 'rate', as in launch rate - the frequency of launches. Cadence refers to something measured and rhythmical, which launches are not - they do not occur in...

Who cares? It's all irrelevant nonsense. The writing is fractally bad - bad at any resolution. Omnibad - bad from any angle. Utterly appalling tripe. I thought 'Foundation' was bad until I discovered Dr. Who and The Accolyte. So that's how far down the bar can be set.

That is not a belief - it's based on physics. It's better to be above the majority of the atmosphere and also away from light pollution - read more about that here: https://telescopeguides.com/why-are-observatories-built-on-mountain-tops/ No beliefs required. Also, who's to say that the...

There are actually no indigenous people on Hawaii. Etymology: Indigenous is derived from the Latin word indigena, meaning "sprung from the land, native". Hawaii was settled 800 years ago by Polynesians who sailed from the Society Islands. 800 years - that's practically yesterday! Before that...

It's not Apple that's at fault - they merely provided the money for Goyer et al to cash in on the Asimov/Foundation name. Goyer obviously thinks he's a better writer and has better stories than Asimov. He is incorrect - at best he's a mediocre hack that should have stuck with infantile, 1...

Would be more accurate to say "not based on the classic Isaac Asimov novel, 'Foundation,' ", as it has absolutely nothing, apart from a few character names, in common with it. I watched the first Season... watched it disappear down the plughole of trite mediocrity that you'd expect from Goyer et...

We get it Scott - you don't like 'Star Trek'. At all. Also, who is this "we" you speak of? "we're not jumping up and down", "we remain optimistic." - this is common to all of your reviews. I hope you aren't working under the misapprehension that you are speaking for all of us and we're all...

No it isn't. That's wrong. Water on the Moon, and all other planets and moons was either deposited by comet impacts or present when they formed from the proto-planetary cloud, around 4.6 billion years ago. It is not from the water evaporating from the Earth! Where do you think the water on the...

Another Snowdon formulaic 'review'. I do think that all the statements in these reviews should be prefaced with "In my opinion..." as that is what they are - personal opinions. You can't blithely state that "we are disappointed..." or "We fail to see how..." and so on. You absolutely do not...

...and why, in your opinion, was the finale of 'Picard' "yet another crashing disappointment"?

Climate scientist: "Oh, that's irrelevant, because reasons! Anyway, by adding "corrections' and 'adjustments' we can easily make all that go away. " Bad humans!

Quite so. Atmospheric CO2 levels do not predict or drive global temperatures over geological timespans, in fact, there seems to be little, if any, correlation. The sensitivity to CO2, or 'Forcing', in all the models is way, way too high, and so they generate runaway temperatures. Compare...

You'll need to take up your interpretation of 'Apologist' with Merriam Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apologist (Contact hem here with your correction: https://www.merriam-webster.com/contact-us) Or the OED: https://www.lexico.com/definition/apologist But I see what you did...

Now, that's all fascinating and very informative, so thanks for sharing. In the interest of our personal development, so that we might all be uplifted and improved to your level (a laudable goal, I'm sure you'll agree), could you please indicate what sort of things we should be watching? You...
