  1. @Nando Yip I know it starts at 12pm SLT tomorrow, but how long will it last? Two hours or more?
  2. Yup, like with so many other scammy get-rich-quick ideologies, other people's money only lasts so long. Especially if they expect something in return.
  3. Exactly - as I explained in my earlier response to Qwiq - the "narrative" is "spin", not necessarily "Truth", but "rationalization after the fact" to please investors. Sure, sure..but you can only spin so many.."fails" before it is not a good look.
  4. I think getting to the moon was really about something else besides getting to the moon, but I get what you meant. Point taken. But, the "spin-off" benefits were probably not understood until after the fact. The way Qwiq explained it, was if Meta never intended or cared if a Metaverse "worked out", which of course goes counter to what Meta said and the hype at the time. It would be "less cynical" to say they may have banked on the secondary / "spinoff" benefits, but since the "moon program" was a "seminal example" of spinoffs having a major impact on technology, etc. I think there's no way that the gummint could have predicted, let alone planned for that. And - even if the real purpose of the "moon program" was the "space race", if anyone found out later "we were just aiming for spin-offs", that would have pissed off..everyone. Probably almost as much as if they found out the moon landing was "fake".
  5. Snow YAY ! thankyou moles 🌨️☃️
