Thats only 4 things. Super easy

Math. Is there anything it can't do?
graehall
I love the maths, engineering, & general creativity it took to achieve this. Just imagine how scientists from 150 years ago would react. wow
Cheomesh
Yes, we remember.

This is how I play kerbal space program

Judging by the looks of Dr Taylor, I'd say this is exactly how he pitched the idea to the ESA funding committee.
MyDragonHeartedSpirit
Ad they all looked at one another, then looked at him, and said "Groovy."

Should point out that it didn't *quite* land as gently as we wanted. Ground was harder than expected so it kinda bounced and fell over.

We still got a bunch of useful data from it, though.

Imagine all the space exploration we could do if we used the money we spend on war on space

Looking at the 2016 fiscal year: the US budgeted $573B for the military and $19.3B for NASA - that'd be 30x the budget.

Thank you good sir. Are you a disciple of the HFY subreddit?
SgtPancakes
Subbing right now...

For those confused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Taylor_(scientist) and for context on the comments read "shirt controversy" section
thdudedude
Thank you, had no idea what was going on.
pepsidumdrops
I still don't.

We landed a probe on a comet in real life. Quite a feat. Then some peeps got upset one of the scientists wore a shirt with girls on it on tv

"Let's find something trivial to bitch and moan about to make sure nobody ever remembers this amazing achievement" - Feminists
Sharkbait13
As a feminist after that happened I bought the sexy cowboy version of his shirt and wore it around. Criticizing him for this was so dumb
Kayayayaya
And look how well it worked!
SwiftLegal
Apparently he was pretty devastated by it as well.
SugarSmack
So far, I don't see any feminists bringing it up here, but that fucking dead horse is still taking it hard.
yeahitsmesorry
I thought that was with a Mars mission not the comet or am I mixing space missions up?
middlehead
You are, it was the comet mission where idiots cried about a shirt.
yeahitsmesorry
Okay thanks for the clarification!

"Instead of discussing this amazing achievement, let's circlejerk about the controversy while pretending we care about the science" -Imgur
WhereAreMyTacoShoes
This is probably the truest statement regarding online politics.

"And then make a big thing about the shirt of the dude who got it there, drive him to tears so that is all that will be remember of it"
starrydance
That made me so mad. His shirt was cool! The science was even cooler!
belatarr4lyfe
Hahahaha, only salty MRA dorks remember that at all.
bendoverandbraceyourself
Instead of apologising, I was hoping that he would troll the feminazis by showing up on TV wearing an even "worse" short. Instead he cried
Supanini
How did I know this would be brought up. It was bad. Keep it in the past. It shouldn't be remembered. Your belittling the accomplishment
SlightChungus
That was so stupid and fucked up poor guy
graehall
That shirt was cool, a boss design. It wasn't the best choice to wear in that setting; we all make mistakes. But why keep bringing it up?!
graehall
It saddens me to see so many people focusing on the shirt here while bitching about the focus on the shirt. Focus on the fkn science dammit
ghsdkgb
The fact that top comment is about the shirt to this day indicates that maybe, maybe, it wasn't just the feminists who are the problem
antillesw
Nah, it's still them that is
marsgoose
They are mostly like ghosts, can't hurt you unless you believe in them.
marsgoose
I say mostly because I was involved in cleaning up the aftermath of a feud between a feminist group and some asshole dude.
marsgoose
Feminist gorp hired Russian hackers to ddos aholes servers which were on a network I was on call for the night. Was not amused.
RickC137
Honestly, any single person who draws any kind of attention to anything they disagree with are the problem, in making it more popular.
RickC137
Commenting "this sucks" on Facebook pages fuels the fire for more people watching, liking and commenting. "How is this popular?" You're why.
GerberLegalTeam
So should we do something to stop this Hitler guy? No, don't encourage him.
evilterran
@op was trying to help us remember the achievement. But sure, if you're gonna keep bringing that up, people will remember that too.
SinisterCheese
I will never let it go down, because if we forget this shit happened it might happen again and I ain't gonna let that happen again.
IronicUsername
Oh, bullshit. You just enjoy self-righteous outrage.
TheMince
You're bemoaning the notion that the shirt incident is all people remember of it and yet you refuse to let people forget it. Okay then...
DeadlyFood
What the hell happened?
drimago
some twit got annoyed at his shirt...
ghsdkgb
And he felt bad and apologized, and reactionaries HAVEN'T LET US FORGET since then
McBook
There was a discourse over the color of his striped shirt. People weren't sure whether it was black and blue or gold and white
graehall
Haha, yeah, there was a whole debate across the internet about its true colour. Never forget!

fortnitefemboy
According to this article, women will be majoring in science, then hear someone say 'bitch' in a bar and change majors..?
ManufacturedMannequin
Are people like this everywhere? Or just in America?
DeadlyFood
At first I thought this article was making fun of the incident, based on the title. Then I read more. People have fucked priorities.
DeadlyFood
Its not the shirt that is holding back progress, its everyone's mindset that a shirt is a bigger deal than this guy's amazing achievement
CaptainArminius
Feminists happen
misslavada
That was not feminism. Equality doesn't require subjugation, it requires equilibrium through elevation of those without power.
