It's already been three years? Feels like a few months ago. Wow.

Still can't believe we've got proof of Marsquakes - that alone turned the consensus on planetary geology upside down.

Just don't recreate the Demon Core... they're both plutonium, right?

MRO has a max resolvable resolution of 1 meter - incredibly useful for planning, but not enough to keep a rover safe from harm, let alone do all possible science.

The max resolution from a low-altitude helicopter is probably two-three orders of magnitude more detailed

Insane when you consider South Florida's future with sea levels. Some geologists think it has less than 50 years to go. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/21/the-siege-of-m...

That's rather unpleasant. Graham Linehan is an extremist, make no mistake.

What's the alternative? As a Digg v4 refugee, I've always wondered.

Trouble is that deep knowledge of niche communities has taken 15 years - a not-insignificant portion of a lifetime - to accumulate. If the site dies, so much specialised discussion is scattered where it'll be far harder to find.

+1 the Linehan article is explicitly hateful.

I think this is an attempt to defend her from that contravention of the hate speech policy, and is more cock-up than conspiracy IMO.
