The world doesn't run on renewables. If the energy mix contains even a bit of fossil fuels, then any extra demand props up fossil energy that could be shut down.

Maintaining a satellite means expenses. If the funding is cut, the organisation and the people maintaining the satellites and the associated ground infrastructure won't get paid for it. Most of us aren't financially secure enough to do voluntary work as a day job.

Selling them to a different agency would mean that the buyer would also have to allocate resources to maintaining them. Not something that happens at any relevant timescales and it would be away from something else. And transferring the knowledge and skills would be a training operation in its own right.

Pull some out of your mouth and glue them to your forehead.

Gotta work on improving yourself! Even if it doesn't work, you'll still feel better in the end.

You and me pretending to be individuals

The universe

Living at an orbital Amazon fulfillment centre breathing Amazon air and drinking Amazon water and eating Amazon protein paste sure sounds like a nice carrot. A corporate space station is a corporate town where you pay for the air.

Are turtles more slimy than tortoises? By virtue of being in water? If so, then turtles should be in the red circle and tortoises where turtles currently are.

Well said.

I think you may have meant to say "confidently incorrect dismissal" in your definition of mansplaining.

Do you need a job to live? If not, then you're free to refuse such hierarchies. But most of us do need a job to live, and so the choice you claim to exist doesn't really exist.

10 feet (3 meters) per hop?

Looked up that Rana dalmatina (known for its long and high jumps) can do jumps up to two meters in length.
