Haven’t we built some working prototypes already, but they’re just a hassle to put on and take off?
Currently, higher pressure comes at the cost of reduced mobility. You’re essentially fighting the suit whenever you close your fist or bend your knees.
then spend time in a decompression chamber once they re-enter the station
Really? I thought going from low pressure to high pressure wasn’t a big deal. Also, wouldn’t that be recompression, rather than decompression?
HAAAAAAAAAAAA
YOUR CAMERA

Crows or cows?
flexible for the division remain and leap years
They’ve already got a plan for this. 13 months, each with 28 days (four weeks), gives us 364 days. New Years Day and Leap Year Day are added as extra holidays which are outside of the named day/month system.
It makes budgeting easier
I suppose so, but it would be even easier if months all had a fixed number of days, wouldn’t it?
Months are useful on Earth
Are they? I’ve found them to be the least useful division of time. They don’t line up with the days of the week, or the phases of the moon, or the seasons, and you need a mnemonic to remember which ones have 28, 30, or 31 days. Now if we had 13 months, each with 28 days, that could be a bit more useful…
a massive asteroid smashed into the earth
Asteroid, or proto-planet?
take it with a grain of Martian salt
I’d prefer to keep my perchlorate consumption to a minimum, thank you very much.
XLCD
Ah yes, XLCD, created by Rbndall Mvnroe.
What do you charge per hour of brain use?
Because we’re basically looking at it from the “top” of the accretion disk.
I’m not sure which way M87 points, but for Saggitarius A*, shouldn’t we be seeing it pretty much edge on? Our solar system is in the plane of the Milky Way.
Nice aesthetic!

Yeah, not sure why people are downvoting you for expressing an opinion which affects no one other than yourself. People are weird sometimes.
That strategy’s name? Gwynne Shotwell.
Huh, so it does.
