You accidentally refer to interstellar space as The Furthest Ring. You find your place in the universe: impotently struggling against the massed forces of stupid, cheerful, wanton destruction.

!mission
<LunchBot>
You escape from the Vortex Rikers. It's a very successful failure.
<KrazyKrl>
Rikers the prison? Or Rikers the Star Trek character?
<Azander>
both?
<Althego>
rikers is only plural if you consider the transporter clone too
<Althego>
otherwise it should be riker

Yes.

You replace your speakers with hearkers. Not all those who wander are lost, but you certainly seem to be.
<Mat2ch>
Lost my marbles again, haven't I?

!mission
<LunchBot>
You start a new podcast. Exposure to vacuum voids the warranty on over half the parts of your rocket upon arrival in orbit.
<raptop>
The on-orbit liveshow was a mistake
<Eddi|zuHause>
the other half was already voided at launch?
<raptop>
Maybe
<Eddi|zuHause>
there are GPS chips which automatically disable themselves if they detect they're on a rocket.
<Althego>
civilian gps has speed limits on it
<Althego>
so that you cant use it in rocket guidance
<Althego>
that is why you cant play pokemon go on the iss
<raptop>
I've heard some figure like 500 km/h
<darsie>
Planes go to mach 0.8 or so.
<darsie>
Maybe they don't want us to use GPS to trigger bombs.
<Althego>
google says In GPS technology, the term "CoCom Limits" also refers to a limit placed on GPS receivers that limits functionality when the device calculates that it is moving faster than 1,000 knots (510 m/s) and/or at an altitude higher than 18,000 m (59,000 ft).
<raptop>
ah
<Althego>
currently seems satisfactory, but what if somebody wants to build a high altitude high speed plane?
<darsie>
1852 km/h
<Althego>
that is about mach 1.5
<darsie>
mhm
<Althego>
on sea level though
<Althego>
so anyway there are some companies trying to make supersonic planes wioth less noise

there was some discussion about maybe getting exceptions for high altitude balloons
<Eddi|zuHause>
no clue about the results

!mission
<LunchBot>
You manufacture certain multicellular protoplasmic masses capable of molding their tissues into all sorts of temporary organs under hypnotic influence and thereby forming ideal servitors to perform the heavy work of the community. Something suddenly appears behind your ba.
<raptop>
yeah, that works
<Eddi|zuHause>
i want to see that movie :p
<raptop>
Sadly, I'm unaware of any movies being made that reference that mission. Guillermo del Toro was trying to at one time, but that fell apart
