A cage match here and there might be a healthy way to keep the wildebeasts in a certain play area (mud pit pipeline). Then the rest of us (the meek) can then inherit the rest of the Earth!
I'm just thinking of the about plight of being a moderator. In someways to them, being a janitor might be a step up or two versus being a moderator. Like, I've seen people handing out towels in airport bathrooms that are more uplifting than what I've seen recently.
Cage match isn't happening. That sounds like a terrrrrrible idea
I like the forum the way it is. I would respectfully suggest to Mr. Scott that if he wishes to find a cage match, there are likely sites out there that can satisfy that desire.I just don't see this forum as in any way a competition. It's a means to express yourself and to gain/distribute information. Any such "cage match" mentality would turn it into a competition (by definition).So, please don't.
1) Interstellar missions / project starshot type of discussions2) Colonization technology3) International missions (collaborative international cross-agency missions to the moon, etc).4) Astronauts5) Space Phenomena. When there's a comet in town, people want to know where to check it out. Mira tends to vary. And there is always a star emitting some sort of signal that gets the fake news starting their covfefe.6) Fusion Power7) Nihilistic Data, Common Discussions of Doom, Planetary Extinction, A Global Warming Dashboard/Metrics Scoreboard, Total Global Catastrophe / Survival Management, Steven Hawking's Fear of the Week. Could get a lot of commentary, certainly will keep the fire burning. At the dumpsters will be located in one spot.
It probably wouldn't get too many threads but a place to put information about future payloads (satellite constellations, DoD competitions, etc.) that haven't been assigned to a launcher yet could be handy.
