| Topic | To me, Space Shuttle Challenger is still the biggest national tragedy. |
| CommonJoe 08/10/19 8:26:01 AM #32 | nevershine posted... I read somewhere that when challenger exploded there was debris in 3 states. Such a tragedy That was Columbia. Challenger blew up on launch so debris was scattered across the coast of Brevard county. MI4 REAL posted... One YT video says that the crew survived the initial explosion because the hatch they were in was jettisoned after the explosion, but they did not survive the landing/drowned because it landed in water. They did indeed survive the explosion itself as the crew cabin separated from the rest of the craft. Their general safety equipment did its job, but slamming into the ocean at excess speed is not very healthy. Parappa09 posted... the whole space shuttle program was really a leap back for mankind It really wasnt. While yes the focus on Shuttle program did hold back our BEO capabilities for 30 or so years, it was still the most advanced machine we had ever built up to its cancellation, and its contribution to science in general and our knowledge on how to build and maintain infrastructure in space cannot be understated. Further, during the program the only thing restricting manned BEO missions was the lack of funding to support it. The Orbiters could easily transport and bring back hardware capable of going to the Moon and even Mars. And going back to the Moon is a good thing. We literally only scratched the surface of the Moon and we learned a great deal about it. Being able to spend 4 or 5x the amount of time on the surface than we did before (if not an indefinite amount of time, if we build a base) with modern technology is going to be, welp, incredible.

| CommonJoe 08/10/19 12:51:08 AM #12 | Questionmarktarius posted... NASA can consistently be expected to get complacent and fuck it up every twenty years or so. Yep. Reminds me of the investigation scenes from the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon. North Americans rep is saying the wrench found in the capsule didnt play a part in the fire, but then the investigator says "But it still shouldnt have been there." For all the things NASAs good at, the one thing they need to be bad at is normalizing erroneous occurrences. Just because it hasnt caused a problem doesnt mean ignore the error. --- Tribalism is bad mkay. Shouldnt have to explain that. |

| CommonJoe 08/10/19 12:27:05 AM #8 | Questionmarktarius posted... Hell, Columbia itself had significant tile damage, from the very first flight. Yeah but that was due to tiles just falling off or chipping under the stress of launch. Atlantis got struck by a piece of booster in many of the same places Columbia did. --- Tribalism is bad mkay.

| Topic | To me, Space Shuttle Challenger is still the biggest national tragedy. |
| CommonJoe 08/10/19 12:13:53 AM #3 | Actually Id say Columbia was a bigger tragedy, namely because Atlantis nearly had the same thing happen to it two flights after Challenger blew up. Morton Thiokol may have knew about the booster beforehand, but everyone at NASA knew the dangers of debris shedding for nearly 20 years and took little precautions against it.   --- Tribalism is bad mkay.

I'm not saying being crazy has nothing to do with it, but I'm not too big on the idea of making mental illness the root cause because armchair PhDs don't want to delve into the sociopolitical part. Try again. Your entire argument in this topic has been centered around the role sociopolitical aspects plays in these shootings and my argument from page 2 of this topic has not changed: its both. But instead of acknowledging that you just incessantly bashed how I post because it doesnt meet whatever arbitrary standards you have. --- Tribalism is bad mkay. Shouldnt have to explain that. |

| Topic | PSA. These mass shooters arent mentally ill |
| CommonJoe 08/09/19 10:21:48 PM #243 | averagejoel posted... I'm not gonna do his homework for him So I just read the topic and nowhere in 25 pages did anyone specify which definition of mass shooter youre using. So I dont know if youre talking the kind of mass shooter like Dayton or El Paso, or the kind of mass shooters that dont become household names because they only actually killed one or two people. My overall point in asking this is because if we're talking the dime a dozen mass shooters it makes sense to say they dont have higher mental illness rates than the general population, as most of them happen under completely different circumstances compared to shootings like Dayton or El Paso, both of which did have mental problems. -- And fun fact, this was my first post in this topic on page 2: CommonJoe posted... White nationalism played its part in El Paso as well. Its not a one-note problem; there is no single solution. So does Ricky want to explain how I suddenly started blaming only mental health for these shootings? --- Tribalism is bad mkay. Shouldnt have to explain that. |

Not to mention that not every instance is going to have those two specific conditons impairing their ability to follow through with their plans, and in fact those two conditions could push them to do it. Depression leading into suicide would help eliminate the general fear response that might hold them back and a high amount of anxiety could make them meticulous to the point that they become even more effective then they might have been otherwise. --- Tribalism is bad mkay.

| CommonJoe 08/09/19 9:15:00 PM #228 | averagejoel posted... it has been established in this topic that mass shooters do not suffer from mental illnesses at higher rates than the general population. this suggests to me that it is not a causal factor. By what definition of mass shooter? BiggLaw posted... unblocked him after being made to feel like a coward by other posters Im tracking the topic because its interesting to me, and I got tired of coming in to blank posts. But uh, good "strawman" though. (And i like how you, and others, have pulled the strawman card and not once explained how Im strawmanning anyone.

| CommonJoe 08/09/19 8:30:54 PM #212 | RickyTheBAWSE posted... I'm not going speculate and diagnose somebody when it makes more sense to point out what I CAN confirm. This goes both ways. Its no more accurate to specifically blame -just- the socioeconomic factors than it is to blame mental health or gun access when it comes to the overal problem. In individual cases you can get more specific, but nobody is out there arguing about how one specific case could have been prevented. --- Tribalism is bad mkay. Shouldnt have to explain that. |
