You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.

Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.

CTRL F "Peer review" No matches.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely interesting that this thing keeps making headlines after all these years, but if the drive is capable of the kinds of thrust they say it's getting, why haven't they been able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt? Every space agency and their dog would already be sending prototypes into orbit if they didn't think that this was a scam.

Yeah, not exactly news.

I suppose it's a good yearly reminder.

Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.

I agree. You can see the initial sketch overlayed there, so definitely a wip with multiple layers.

If life could do the things you think it might, our own galaxy would already look a lot different compared to what we're seeing.

And there never will be. Then again, we won't stay around long enough to have to worry about it.

[ˈbloːhaj] because that's how Blåhaj is pronounced.

Sure. If any are left alive after the IDF demolishes Gaza to the ground.

Yes? Never claimed otherwise.

My point was that there are thankfully exceptions to this prevalent trope.
