8/ First of all, I think Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. are trash Second, this thread wasn't ME criticizing SF for not being sufficiently sciencey; it was
@Swordsfall1 doing that, because OBVIOUSLY shooting trash into the sun is good science. (wrong) https://twitter.com/MisterFawx/status/1167426977290018816 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
9/ So I appreciate
@misterfawx,@codeimpossible ,@kiernaned, etc. saying "it's a dick move to criticize the science in someone else's SF universe". And maybe you're right ! So please tell@Swordsfall1 (a) to stop doing it, (b) if he's going to do it, to learn some science.Show this thread -

15/ Gatekeeping? How so? Am I denying
@Swordsfall1 access to my vast publishing empire? Keeping him out of the literary society I control? Calling up my agent friends and blacklisting him? Explain, please, how I'm "gatekeeping",@CappuccinoGuil https://twitter.com/CappuccinoGuil/status/1167430888440958976 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
16/ No,
@Swordsfall1 wasn't PROPOSING an idea; he was CRITICIZING other people for not proposing a bad idea, and he was saying that they were BAD AT SCIENCE. Exactly same thing, except sign bit flipped. https://twitter.com/AntediluvianG/status/1167431837225893889 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
17/ No, he wasn't ASKING. He said that the failure to do this very good and Science!™-y "is what bothers me and futuristic settings". It was an assertion that failure to do this is BAD. https://twitter.com/whipstache/status/1167432853547884550 …

21/ > If you think it's anything but *Expensive* to launch trash into the sun, you dont understand science. I sort of do, tho. Earth orbits the sun at 29.78 km/s + ~ 1.8 km/s of deltaV for atmospheric drag = 31.6 km/s To achieve LEO is 7.8 k/s So > https://twitter.com/BurningBunring/status/1167434439682486272 …

22/ So to handwave, a rocket that can put X into LEO can put X/4 into the sun. Falcon payload to LEO is 23,000 kg, so it can put ~6,000 kg of trash into the sun. Launch costs $57 million, so it costs $9,500 to put 1 kg of trash into the sun. I call that "expensive".

25/ Oh, interesting. I didn't watch that speech, but maybe I should. Cold Equations was classic, which is why I had an homage to it (with a female navigator!) in my books. https://twitter.com/LibertyFarmNH/status/1167436790158045184 …
