    I am not saying that. All I am saying is that I expected to not have to tinker for 20+ years on a telescope almost 140 years after the Eiffeltower has been built especially since science/engineering has developed exponentially. I mean we shot telescopes into space before (Hubble and Spitzer for example) so I take it we do not need to re-invent the wheel here.

    which means it is significantly bigger and needs to be well thought of in order to not kill someone... what is the worst that could happen if the telescope malfunctions? a lot of money wasted for sure, but it does not throw our knowledge back or is about to kill anyone... Gazillions of people have mounted the Eiffeltower and came back hale again (I am sure there was the occasional suicide or accident).

     

    Btw a telescope is not so complicated either if you want to reduce objects to their purpose, you extend the, look through it, adjust the lense to get a focus and collapse it again, no big deal

    ;)

    I was about to start typing up a whole response to the ways that the Eiffel Tower and JWST require different prep work and structural engineering and maintenance and the like, but I just don't feel like it. All I can say is that if you think a tower on Earth and a telescope (which is really like 1000x more complex than a normal telescope) getting shot into space are on the same level of engineering, then good luck to you in your future endeavors.

    you know they built the Eiffel Tower in around two years after having spent 2.5 years to make the blue prints... 130+ years ago, and the bloody thing still stands and is 1100ft tall... I just expected to be faster with all the modern means we have compared to the people still deep in the steam age... but I am by no means an engineer so maybe I just have too high expectations...

    You need to scale the function of the object along with the technology. The Eiffel Tower is a major engineering feat for sure, but it's a tower.

    Hybrid Stats, One Season In

    I'm a pretty random dude to be asking such questions, but I'm very interested in change management and this one was a doozy as far as I'm concerned. That said, I wasn't really around for the "meta" and it's been years since I was really following the VHL closely.

     

    I'm just curious how everybody feels about the change after one season, knowing that it's too early to really understand the impact but long enough to have an idea about the implementation. Positives? Negatives? Neutral observations?

    Hi @Hybrid1486I'm glad you want to join, I forgot to update this page but we restarted and made a different game from the one above because some of the rules were not being followed.

     

    You should be able to still join our current game though game id: 5625094 password: VHLSupremacy

    I'll join the new one at some point today...is there a reason I can't get a confirmation email? Anybody else have that issue?
