Ignoring that the Soyuz is a more traditional capsule that does land on land, with timed rockets to slow their descent just before impact.
Let’s just say landing on water is better, based on the medical injuries different astronauts have suffered riding home on the Soyuz. Several American astronauts have experienced bruising and joint/back pain from the hard “bone-jarring” landing.
“Get absolutely fucked”

Yep, find your local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and get a membership
Are we allowed to capture their head coach in a night raid, or was that just a one-time deal?
Get 'em while that last:
“In a major industry shift announced in early 2026, Sony is entering a strategic partnership where TCL will take a 51% stake in its home entertainment division, including Bravia TVs, with a new joint venture expected to be fully operational by April 2027”
It’s the end of an era for the Sony Bravia.
Say hi to the FBI for me
That’s a hell of a thing to say to a person who has literally been stabbed.
You must work in communications for Trump’s White House.
That’s nuclear grade stupidity.
I would be shocked if there wasn’t a single fuse just for that antenna.
Pretty sure at least half of Adobe’s users are on macOS.
It’s neither here or there, but there’s no “D” in “consequences” either….
<This is your daily complementary pedantic snarky comment>
There is a big difference between fearing you’ll lose your job vs. fearing you’ll lose your house with children possibly inside.
Regardless, these GOP members are fearing violence from the far right side of their party.
I mean, yes, that is bad… but the biennium budget for 2011-2013 was around $60 Billion, which means this project represented about half a percent of the overall budget. The current budget deficit is around $60 Million, but the kicker from 2024 was a record $5.6B in unexpected surplus.
The Oracle debacle is a good representation of why government contracting can be a mess, but I don’t think that project caused such a big long-term financial problem. Putting a toll on the I-5 bridge into/from WA is a massive issue, I agree with you there.
I was at a military industry conference a month or so ago, with several flag level officers giving talks. The total amount of lost years of experience and senior leadership in the military and intelligence agencies is staggering. It is going to take generations to recover.
The same Congress that let Trump unilaterally levy a tax on every American business and citizen?
Ducking is a fairly sacred community thing among Jeep owners, most specifically with Wranglers and now Gladiators. Ducks are always gifted as a random act of kindness, so a Jeep with a lot of ducks suggests that person has been rather active in the community.
They could be manufacturing prototypes or examples for apprentices. It’s also replicas were made for trade to demonstrate the shape to others, or tokens of appreciation, or adapted into toys / primitive dice. <shrug>
You are now blind and deaf like Helen Keller. Good luck, she figured it out, you’ll be fine.
Another commenter said that capsules are primarily designed for their abort landings. The US launches crewed missions from Florida, so the abort landing options are mostly in the Atlantic (on water landing). Russia launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, so their abort landing options are mostly over Northern Asia (on land landing)
