Of course we’re going to call it a dump. We can’t have people getting too comfortable with the idea of nuclear energy; It’s too effective for the waste it produces, and besides we have entire industries focused on making money off of natural gas. It’s down-right anti-capitalist!

When I first saw the news I was thinking “there’s no way atoms vibrate differently on the moon” but you’re right it’s about perspective and I’ve realized there’s no way I’m smart enough to handle timezones on an interplanetary scale. I can only hope that the difference between earth seconds and moon seconds can be expressed as a consistent ratio.

I will gladly use some programming library invented in the basement of a university powered by coffee, and rage.
