Right Angle: Backstage [08-27-2019]

Behold, the show that demonstrates why Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott are blatantly unemployable in any commonly-accepted sense of the word. During this episode, they set up a multi-level marketing organization to cash in on the asteroid-mining craze.

Either it wasn’t a part of this article or it was left out but if someone was to mine this asteroid it would basically collapse all world economies. Maybe that’s another episode.

I love the social credit… How long before they go full blow purge on their neighbor who they know reported them…I can’t wait to see the crapshow that results from that

Back to my soap box – can you post the asteroid story on Saturday? The science/lifestyle stories make for great weekend fare & we’re already getting one BW Now on Fridays!

My lovely bride and I enjoy The Orville, and I recalled that episode when I first saw this story.

I was going to do a blog post about the Gateway Foundation and their space station, as I thought it would interest Bill and other members. It’s the only vision I know of from recent years of a viable working destination in LOE for tourists, scientists, and space explorers. And yes – if you check out that YT channel linked in the name above, much of it is years old, and as Bill said it’s pretty much all vaporware. But at least it is a blueprint in beta stage. I don’t like the fact that the artificial gravity is only 30% though. Is there an engineering reason to limit it to that low a G-force? Also, like a helicopter, isn’t there a need for a counter force to the rotation? Like the railways of the earlies of the 19th century, I think tourism would help make this profitable. Originally in Britain at least, they thought the railways would be a way to deliver the mail faster, but instead it caught on so well because people wanted to go places. I’m sure there are hundreds of multimillionaires who would happily slap out 2 or 3 miilion dollars for the bragging rights, the selfies and all the rest of it for a ride to the Von Braun. And yes – I think it SHOULD be named as such. The entire 1960’s US space program would never have happened the way it did without him, and that gave us the greatest thing humans have ever done.

Bill, don’t slam TSL “The worst produced show on the internet” too hard. I was ready to give up, empty my meager bank account, buy a lot more ammo and go off the grid in 2012 after Obama was reelected. Early 2013 I found TSL, connected with you and the positive message (its not over until its over, even then its only over till we regroup) and decided to stay in the game.

Oh man, that is such a weird story. You have to wonder how she got past the psych evals.

I guess you have to be some kind of weirdo to want to spend extended periods of time in a tin can out in space with a bunch of relative strangers, but still. There are different kinds of weird.
