Reply to comment by AnthillOmbudsman in TIL about the only double barrel cannon in the world. When it was its first tested during the American Civil War, the chain snapped immediately and one ball tore into a nearby cabin, knocking down its chimney; the other spun off erratically and struck a nearby cow, killing it instantly. by ExpertPreference8481

Yea this really seems like a problem of scale, ~2.5m tonnes of aluminum needed to reach the lower bound is an insane amount. Maybe once we start actually commercializing space it could be an issue but by then we should have a better option then just crashing stuff to get it out of orbit

>In the short, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood superhero. After a particularly challenging day living with these pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil
Idk how fun it'll be but I am excited to see it
