The Rocketdyne F1 engines were a feat of engineering few can comprehend.

To ensure stability was achieved they literally set off bombs inside the bell housing during testing. Prior to this the engine would rip itself apart due to the rapid pressure changes.

The space shuttle engine footage shot in slow mo by NASA demonstrates the violence of rocket motor ignition. You can see the bell housing flexing as peak pressure is overcome during ignition.

Quote from: From the Bunker on April 06, 2026, 11:02:19 PMPascal's Wager: Pascal argued that believing in God is the most rational bet because the potential gain (eternal life) is infinite, while the loss from losing the bet (a controlled life) is finite. He argued that if God exists, the believer gains everything; if not, they lose little.

Which god though? With amount of gods out there the wager gets harder to predict

Do you put a small bet on each of them?

Either way apparently if you live a good life you're in anyways so there ya go

The point being, there are some amount of people believing in things which has no evidence of being real, landing or not landing on the moon is small fry to the enteral life conspiracy
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

No aspects of that word would feature in my views.

Life has meaning, that's why I say love this time ya have.

Living with good morals is important

The universe is vast but that doesn't mean our lives are insignificant
 
And my previous and current jobs is all at showing and giving empathy

So there's bound to be a description out there but that's not one I'd add to me
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

A rather sage post.

I've never quite been able to wrap my head around the concept that free will and eternal happiness could be mutually inclusive bedfellows.

It's one or the other for me.

But if people believe otherwise, then, for me, they can just about believe anything they like.

I'm half and half on Epstein's death by murder/suicide, imo, both scenarios are almost equally valid cases.

The missing security footage and Trump's attempts over the past year to suppress the files definitely lend themselves to strong skepticism.

Little bit convenient now. Would you be that surprised if he wasn't even dead

There are questions of course but those two you mentioned are not that strong. Trump attempted to suppress all the Epstein files and missing prison security video, even prison guard laziness is not a deal breaker. I'd regard the 10 payments lodged to the prison guard's bank over a period of time as being much more suspicious. Epstein was on suicide watch for good reason, it was deemed that he had tried to commit suicide some weeks previous. Possibly that was a botched murder attempt............... or not.
