I remember all the dooms day articles the last time, then I think all 8 aligned. That is what Voyagers used to get to the outer planets quickly and were they are now.
This time, I saw nothing about "world ending". I guess they moved on to other things. Too bad NASA was not funded enough to use this to launch a more advanced spacecraft :(
It isn’t as fun to speculate about fanciful and silly world ending mechanisms like planetary alignment, when we’re actually locking in a bunch of ecologically devastation by boring processes like… status quo bias and failures to coordinate.
It’d be cool as hell if we were destroyed by some grand universal conspiracy. Instead, we’re doomed by the same force that makes the office lunch group unable to gather consensus around anything other than cheese pizza.
