Fun thing I learned from @ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social's A City on Mars: this event was more about NASA's propensity to stack worst cases on top of worst cases. "Well, we'd *better* make sure you have enough, so what's the most number of tampons you've ever used per day? Times...what's the longest your period has ever lasted? And we'd better double that just to be sure."
Sounds ridiculous in this context, but it's typical space engineering process in most other areas.
Well done, Hungary, and thanks for humiliating JD Vance again!
Blame the *people* who did this, who set up this system and executed based on it, who started this objectiveless war, who removed guardrails and judgement, and hold them responsible for their war crimes.
