EDIT: What the? p r es s-re le ase is a banned phrase?
EDIT 2: Used tinyurl to get something that should work: https://tinyurl.com/artemus1
Artemus I is in place on the launch pad, just about ready to go. On Monday morning (EDST) it begins it trip to return people back to the moon...

Yeah, eventually....maybe. It's horribly expensive. I'd put my money on the private sector, at this point. Still, this one is ready to go now.
It probably triggered some leftist so it became forbidden. Welcome to 2022!Quote:

Let's see...
I would suspect just mentioning Press would ban you for life. But it needs the whole phrase with "-" ...
WHAT?! That's insane! I demand to talk to your manager! Now!Quote:

Well, this thread has certainly taken an unexpected turn...
-tg
Well, it was a total moon shot to begin with...
Still, it's pretty clear how this got banned. Some time in the past, some spam bot started hitting the site with press releases, so they got automatically pruned as the simplest solution.
Oh come on. You expect me to buy that? I'll tell you what really happened. Some leftist came on the boards and encountered the phrase in a thread. His virtue signalling leftist genes kicked and he decided that release meant "sexual release" and then he decided to be offended. He then went onto Reddit to tell all his leftist buddies about his harrowing ordeal on VBForums where he narrowly escaped the sexual deviants there who wanted to force him into perverse acts. He also threw in a couple of leftists buzz words like "patriarchy" and "rape culture" for good measure. He then received thousands of replies telling him of how brave he is and re-assuring him that he is in a "safe space". He is hailed as a hero and many celebrated his courageous deeds that allowed him to survive having to read the degenerate posts on VBForums.Quote:

Yea, you guys ain't fooling anyone. I know the truth! :afrog:
Pfff.
I shwould be expecting from moderators here to know how to go to admin--control--restrictions--dictionary and unban the word (ooppsss I know too much...Exposed!)
But what can you expect from one that got the vaxbs and became a dog zombie and another that gone hiking and could not bring a laptop with him..:mad:
Anyhow , I propose when we write "leftist" to transform to "Niya GOD" and sexual to sapator, So the above would be corrected and become:
Some Niya GOD came on the boards and encountered the phrase in a thread. His virtue signalling Niya GOD genes kicked and he decided that release meant "sapator release" and then he decided to be offended.
Not really. It's just CGI, it's all FAKE!!!Quote:

That's the problem with you right wing loonies: It's always about sex with you. Next you'll be bringing the conversation around to livestock...Quote:

This is beginning to resemble the journey portion of "Stand By Me" where the 4 kids spend half their time crafting insults to amuse each other.
I shouldn't worry too much that you destroyed it. That MS stuff have a big "L" written on their forlaphead. "L" et the carnage begin, so it probably blew by itself.Quote:

Well, it's true!!! If you don't believe me just text my dog. He will verify it.Quote:

Sapator, be careful. Niya will label you a Niya God, and not because of any sapator release, but your idea of new filters. :bigyello:Quote:

But until we have developed a much faster and longer distance means of propulsion what's the point. I understand you have to start somewhere but we have already started in 1969 but we haven't made any significant gains in propulsion since. Just not convinced it's money well spent.
:ehh: (when you never read the initial post)
You would use the umbrella to fly above them, or an imitation of Donald Duck shark attack (I bet you've seen it).Quote:

How does the Space Farce fit into the discussion? Isn't that a whole new branch of the military.

Lawyers. Got me there. ;)

That's some quality craftsmanship!!! lol
It's not often I find myself agreeing with the Donald but I actually think he was right about creating a military arm focused on space as a theatre of war. Admittedly "Space Force" is a bloody silly name and makes me think of the Muppet Show but an ability to attack an opponents space based assets while defending your own could be absolutely essential in a future global conflict. E.g. knock out an opponents Comms and GPS satellites and you've pretty much crippled their combat ability on the ground.Quote:

I have no idea what it would actually look like but I don't imagine it would be x-wings and men in space suits with pew-pew lasers. It needs smarter minds than mine with a knowledge and understanding of the field to identify what capability would be needed - a military wing provides that.
What better role model than Pigs In Space, with the most courageous space explored ever Link Hogthrob. Zapp Brannigan is a distant second.Quote:

To me it was just another of his moronic ploys. He just slapped Star Wars uniforms an a small part of the Air Force Space Command. They were doing just fine without a "space farce". It will be a long time, if ever, that this country recovers from his time in office.Quote:

Separating it out underlines the significantly different, and significant, role that space is likely to play in any future big power conflict.
Isn't a lot of the direct "aid" to Ukraine intelligence gathered by "Space Force" operations?
Unless we delve into Reagan's "Star Wars" tech like Rods From God most of "Space Force" is probably about spy satellites and such.
I just don't see it that way. I see it as a silly Trump vanity project that is just making another bureaucratic monster. The U.S. Space Command will be fighting any wars. The Space Farce is right up there with the election being stolen. More Trumpian BS. The moron even made it a campaign item by creating a mechanism for people to vote on the emblem and what a shock "Star Wars" won. He even wanted Melania to design the uniforms because of her "fabulous fashion sense". Maybe that would have worked. She could of put "who cares" on the back.Quote:

Biden's latest witch hunt is faltering badly. Things are going so poorly that Dems running this fall have dropped the issue and turned their hopes to abortion and anti-China rhetoric. The Space Force isn't on anyone's radar as a viable issue.
Who said it was?Quote:
