The cave paintings on Sulawesi are associated with the Homo sapiens occupation of the island. Whether Denisovans themselves crossed the Wallace line remains inconclusive.

tbf old satellites and upper stages breaking up in orbit is not uncommon, happens to US-launched objects too (see NOAA-17). Something more egregious would be deliberately targeting an orbiting satellite with missiles, like Russia did in 2021 (US/China have done it too) www.npr.org/2021/11/16/1...

It's obviously not the death of space exploration, that's why we have robotic spacecraft, which I believe, should be a higher priority than human spaceflight. I'd like to see a scientific base on Mars one day, but the idea that 'colonisation' is key to humanity's survival is troubling in many ways.

It's been genocide since the moment Israeli officials stated their intention to commit genocide, as Israeli scholar Raz Segal points out. It's been genocide since the IDF began the killing of thousands of civilians. It is genocide, not an ugly trope or canard, it's the horrifying reality you support
