[07:01] IsambardPrince > Something that cost an enormous amount of money, had lots of disposable parts, and the reusability ended up being a major liability that killed two entire crews less than 20 years apart despite an enormous amount of money spent reconditioning the orbiter and SRBs every single time.

[07:01] IsambardPrince > [07:01] IsambardPrince > Not only that, the Soviet Union's shuttle was better designed, had a safer launch abort system complete with ejection seats (which NASA scrapped after the first few launches), had a higher lift to orbit capability, and safer propellant for the rocket boosters.

[07:01] IsambardPrince > [07:01] IsambardPrince > All this so that it could fly one time and get destroyed in a barn because they designed it while the USSR was coming apart (still doing a better job) and then couldn't maintain it.

[07:02] IsambardPrince > [07:02] IsambardPrince > The majority of people in the US who work full time and are poor are poor because of bad comprehension of basic financial concepts, which is how they max out all their credit cards, get a loan to "buy" a Tesla or an $80,000 SUV, get a mortgage in this economy, and load themselves up on student loan debt and then, only then, have some idea of what debt is. [07:02] IsambardPrince > [07:02] IsambardPrince > In other countries, to be poor, that's just expected because they have nothing and in the US people are poor because many wanted for nothing until they got themselves into huge financial troubles so they could "own" an $80,000 SUV, max out the cards, and get a house that they wouldn't own for at least 30 years, even if they could pay it back without all this other crap weighing them down and tugging in the other direction.

[07:03] IsambardPrince > [07:03] IsambardPrince > The bank hardly ever says no, and when they do, they say you can trick someone into assuming responsibility for the debt if you fall over, which is called a co-signature.
