Early on, SpaceX was exciting because it was "new ways to explore space, make it cheaper so we can do more science and fly more frequently, even go to other worlds".

It didn't take long for it to become painfully clear that the sole motivating factor behind all of this was... money. Commodify space. Treat it like the next step in 'manifest destiny'. The stupid hippies won't let us steamroll over the jungles and prairies, let's just go into space where we can do whatever the hell we want and make shitloads of money for ourselves.

NASA... which is a government organization and by definition is not doing this for the profit motive... is actually interested in not just the science of space exploration, the advancements we could make as a result, but also the human experience of actually going to space.

This is why Artemis is important.

It reminds you that space is not a resource to be exploited to fuel unending economic growth.

Space is the next step in exploration. We go there to better understand the cosmos, ourselves, and our place in it.

That is what makes it exciting.

Not the incoherent babblings of a racist sex-pest marketing guru who designed the fugliest truck to ever exist.

this is VERY funny and I don't want to step on the gag but as a former food service worker I simply cannot NOT explain the place crushed Oreo cookies have in the service industry because I think it's really cool, actually

So Oreos! Truly a 100+ year old institution (although we can argue about whether Hydrox came first/are better but that's not what this is about). Oreo was manufacturing using pretty modern equipment very early on right here in beautiful Manhattan in the old Nabisco factory that is now Chelsea Market. But an unfortunate issue with mass producing millions of very thin, very fragile crisp cookies is breakage. A lot of the wafers (the chocolate part) will crack or crumble before reaching the end of the production line. The machinery can be adjusted to reduce breakage but the nature of the wafer means breakage will never be zero. Sometimes the cookie gets to the sandwiching stage & filled with the creme before it cracks, but more often it breaks before then. That's why you have some bits with creme and some without.

So what does a cookie company do with all the broken pieces? The dough is already cooked at that point so it can't be reused to form more cookies. So Oreo comes up with a plan: develop recipes and alternative uses so they can sell the crushed cookies, too. This happens a lot in manufacturing! Leftover bits are repurposed for other products to reduce waste and cost. Probably the most famous example is animal feed; the husks and rinds and cast-offs from human food production often get processed into animal food.

Sadly this means most commercial Oreo dust is a pre-crushed situation. I grew up working in my family's restaurant and the Oreo pieces would arrive in sealed plastic bag inside a big box. We'd use them for pie crusts and dessert toppings. Being a sneaky lil shit, I'd sometimes dip a soup spoon into the Oreo dust and take one big, chocolatey bite as a snack. No need to crush them by hand.

Sorry to add real-world facts to a very good bit. I just really love manufacturing. And cookies.

When Ilya signed with Ottawa, we began talking about creating a charity together. Today that dream is a reality. The Irina Foundation will raise money and awareness for organizations that provide support, counseling, and assistance for people who are suffering from depression and other mental illnesses that can lead to suicide. It's a cause that is important to both of us, and I am very happy and proud to be working with Ilya to create something that can hopefully help a lot of people. - Shane Hollander

This is not in the notes, but I want to say that the Irina Foundation is named for my mother. She battled depression without help for many years. She had no support, no medical treatment. My mother died when I was twelve years old. This foundation is for her. It is to help people like her, so they do not have to fight alone. - Ilya Rozanov
