Stopping all fediverse activities. Good bye.
Absolutely stupid indisriminate bans by mods on various instances make it clear to me lemmy and fediverse does not want content.
if I ever get back to fediverse It would be on my own instance as its clear to me nothing short of that is going to work.

Another important thing is where you launch over. Most launch sites are close to the ocean so that any discarded boosters dont land on cities or towns, or in case something goes wrong during launch and the rocket falls back to earth like a bomb.
This all is meaningless if you're China, because China doesnt give a shit and will launch directly over small villages (https://spacenews.com/china-launches-sino-french-astrophysics-satellite-debris-falls-over-populated-area/)
In addition to being on the wrong (i.e., uprange) side of a continent, Mount Chimborazo is also in freakin' Ecuador (which is not exactly known for its aerospace industry), is 30 km from the nearest town, is covered in glaciers, and -- just for shits 'n giggles -- is an active stratovolcano. My question was very much tongue-in-cheek.
From the article.
And multiple times have either failed to do that, or the people did not listen. Causing fatalities.
