youtube channel whitelist

I'd like to do the same, but it looks like that particular Firefox extension is no longer available. Is there a current version that you use?

If they filled the space with kidney beans, then they'd have even more kidneys!

really peculiar taste that I can only describe as lactose free milk if it tasted like it had aspartame

Okay yeah, that sounds similar to some of the stuff I've tried. It's a beverage, possibly even a good one, but it's not milk. I'm still waiting for when we can accurately and cheaply reproduce the sugars, proteins, and fats in cow milk, but without growing the rest of the cow.

Did you try it? I've tried a number of milkless milk substitutes and none of them hit the spot for me.

reusing as much of the 1970's shuttle tech as they can

And reusing the tech, but not the hardware. NASA are throwing four RS-25 shuttle engines (some of which flew multiple shuttle missions) into the ocean with every SLS launch.

Do we? It's already years behind schedule, billions over budget, and doesn't really have a use beyond Artemis. Also, the Exploration Upper Stage (one of the major planned upgrades) is being developed by... Boeing.

He's definitely earned a break though :')

I find it funny how "we don't have a spare booster" seemed like a realistic plot point at the time. Given today's launch market, it seems silly that their only options were "expropriate a booster meant for a Saturn probe" or "beg China for help".

I love that Randall updated the graphics with new maps including Insight, Tianwen (Zhurong), Perseverance, and... Matt Damon.

Happy cake day!

Does that imply that the censored data is still present on a different channel?

If so, someone might want to notify OP, though I'm not sure whether they would take it seriously, seeing as they don't seem to understand what 2FA is...
