On a long enough timeline.

there have been 7 incidents where were have been seconds from armegedon in the last 20 yrs

all mistakes and misinterpretations

@ManAnimal yep

you only get lucky so many times

@ManAnimal like landing on the moon on the first attempt without going splat 😉

So I go looking for Cleopatra history and this comes up

yup, sometimes you get lucky

This alone is worth the licence fee

@ManAnimal I don't believe in luck

more often than not, you don't get lucky

Nukes should have launched

beleive is irrelevant

@ManAnimal landing on the moon in the way we did, is impossible

all decisions are at least 50% luck

Belief*

Seek help

I like this one

impossible? to your understanding, perhaps

try to imagine the timeframe

but as you neither i know everthing, imposssible is beyond our scope

I know, it isn’t very representative of me though

don't need to 'imagine'

Its that one or this one

Bruh

wut

the Apollo program is what gave us the internet and cell phones just as much as the moon rocks

cold war, looming nuclear annihilation, entire american populace depressed and Russia is leading the space race...

that was the impression but not really the reality

reality is what I can find publicly

the point is that just like statistics today, people forget that they never have all the data

but you can piece it together by the lack of information
