I was particularly fond of Legend of the Red Dragon and Planets: The Exploration of Space -- door games forever!

Imagine celebrities allowing the lab to use their cloned cells to grow "Angelina Jolie's Cultured Thighs" for public consumption or something.

...

Sounds like a Margaret Atwood novel haha

Wow, okay. So, debris I can understand. It sucks when there's a chunk of stainless on a beach or something. Cleaning it up isn't particularly hazardous though, just annoying and SpaceX should definitely be billable for the junk removal.

However -- this is about the safest combination of materials any rocket has ever been built out of. Well, I don't know about the tiles, but it's not like the rocket was made out of asbestos and arsenic and hydrazine. Stainless steel is close to inert. The fuels and oxidizers in use are almost entirely safe (methane as a greenhouse gas sucks, but that is another story).

Based on what I know about the components used in construction, the biggest problems are probably the batteries that power the various things like the flaps. Probably less than 1% of the mass of the rocket might be rejected at a common landfill. Much of it could even be sold as clean scrap.

Not to go all "whataboutism" here, but compared to the chinese rockets with hypergolics that are dropping regularly on villages...

So sad. Maintenance costs money though and it happens :/

Locker room version: men will say nipple without any issue when talking about the nipple itself, or chest or pecks if talking about the fleshy bits behind said nipple. If someone is a bit overweight they might call them man-boobs, moobs, or similar. Usually it's gentle ribbing rather than intended offense, but sometimes it is intended to be a bit cruel depending on the tone. I have never heard a man refer to their "breast" in any context.

If you ask a man if they have breasts, you will get 99% "no" as the answer. You can't refer to a body part you don't have.

I might be in a bubble though. Hope this helps.

Haven't turned anything in a while. Chips!

 
 
 
 

Anyone got any personal anecdotes or experience with hiking destinations in southern Chile (lake district or Patagonia)? Planning to be there in April for a few weeks, so I'll miss the penguins. But the weather should be decent in the mountains. Thinking Torres del Paine due to being outside of peak season, but open to suggestions and anecdotes :)

 

I missed it the first time. Any recommendations for items to push through to the expedition from your main save?

 

Cull animals, kill predators, kill sentinels... any other ones that stack well? I sort of like collecting missions while on a station and then not doing them at all. Eventually I'll do a quicksilver mission in the Nexus and accidentally complete like two dozen missions at once...

 

Hi folks, just finished the "Adrift" Expedition 13 redux -- currently running until Dec 25th.

First thoughts:

(1) If you have some sellable scrap or something in your main save, push them into your expedition inventory and sell them at the first space station. This will help you get started. But, perhaps more importantly, you can buy a lot of https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Emergency_Signal_Scanner for about 1.4M each -- which are normally about time limited, so you can buy out the stock of ~14 at each space station and bring them back into your main save.

(2) Due to the nature of this particular expedition, bases don't show up on the map (although you can still fly to them). There are a lot of bases already built with names like "easy larval cores" or "robot horses" or similar. When you are looking at your task list, sometimes it is easiest to just go to the space station and then warp to someone's base.

(3) In particular, the one that says "climb to 1400u" -- just go to the Rendezvous planet for that phase of the expedition and land on a mountain. There are several near the rendezvous point that are sufficiently tall.

(4) For the one that says "salvage a starship" or similar -- probably the least resource intensive version is to find a base with a crashed sentinel ship.

(5) Nanites are in short supply, so it is unlikely you'll be able to have enough to import a multi-tool or ship unless you're cheesing things. Even to complete the mission to get 1200 nanites, I was doing things like processing slime in my personal refiner.

(6) The ghost frigate is awesome.

Reminder to claim your Starborn Phoenix (Gold version of Starborn Runner) at the quicksilver station either before/after your expedition.

 

Starborn Phoenix -- a gold version of Starborn Runner -- free to Steam users. (Probably works with Cross Save to get on other systems, but unsure.)

Suppose you have a friend that likes a team you dislike. What jersey could you get them that would piss them off the most?

Eg: I have a Canucks fan as a friend -- if I got them a nice Canucks Jersey with a Messier 11 plate on it...
