    It really is an ideological conflict between people who want humanity to be a civilization, and people that are content with us continuing to be monkeys throwing feces at one another in the dirt.

    Civilizations have to aspire be more than they are, and not terms of individuals growing their dragon hoards of greed and glut.

      TBF, if you’re really, really good at throwing feces, civilization sounds like a poor way to maximize the value of your skill. 🫤

    NASA’s latest mission dedicated to observing Earth’s oceans and atmosphere from space rocketed into orbit from Florida early Thursday on a SpaceX launch vehicle.

    This mission will study phytoplankton, microscopic plants fundamental to the marine food chain, and tiny particles called aerosols that play a key role in cloud formation. These two constituents in the ocean and the atmosphere are important to scientists’ understanding of climate change. The mission’s acronym, PACE, stands for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem.
