The only human payloads being sent up are going to ISS, which is scheduled to be decommissioned at about the same time as Dragon. I doubt Isaacman is losing any sleep over this.

NASA is moving it's focus from ISS to a moon base, SpaceX is moving its focus from Falcon to Starship. Starship is a lunar capable rocket, Falcon is not.

Isaacman will probably be glad to have one more reason to hasten the decommissioning of ISS so the resources can be moved to the lunar effort.

By the time Slashdot started using id's, I thought it had already become too crowded to have a useful conversation, so I didn't bother to register. I don't even remember why I eventually broke down and registered one.

I remember my first post was to a discussion of whether it was better for Linux distros to conform to a set of committee defined standards, or simply to allow the market to define de facto standards. Of course, that was posted under my real name, as was usually the custom at the time. I remember thinking that Anonymous Coward guy sure posted a lot of comments.

These days, I don't think I'd post anything anywhere under my real name. I don't think there's even an archive of those original Slashdot articles and comments.

There is far more genetic diversity within a given "race" than between them.

So? Your point?

The concept of "race" as a distinct biological category is not supported by modern genetics.

Considering that a geneticist can look at a DNA sample and determine the race of the person it came from, I'd call that a rather glaring deficiency in modern genetics. This has all the credibility of a physicist telling us gravity is a social construct.

Sciences that consistently "disprove" the crashingly obvious should be regarded with the utmost suspicion.
