Wait, in that case maybe complaining is a bit justified? Different of course of it’s a place off the beaten path, but if it’s a hotbed of English-speaking tourists then having staff that speak their language seems pretty important.
Guess it’s really hard to say without more context (story of the internet).
I disagree. He did the math assuming all the energy would be dissipated but that’s assuming it came to a stop which is the whole debate. Essentially a mathy begging the question.
The jet of hot gasses coming up around and with the cover could’ve provided a good bit of protection from friction for the first bit (where the atmosphere would have the greatest effect) and ablative effects and the short travel time though the atmosphere could’ve been enough for a likely slightly smaller and very hot cover to blast into space.
Wow, wonder how long it took them to fill that up?
Weird they landed there then.
Yes I know, just a joke, but still

The charitable interpretation is that it was just hyperbole as a joke. Unfortunately, for that to be true, he would have to think it’s a ridiculous thing to say and I’m not sure he does.
Got the link?
Pretty sure those made the other list for least attractive
Edit: the other chart
That was an interesting read but it’s not the math per encounter. They strangely used lifetime stats and ignored number of encounters so it doesn’t answer that question.
Some of the other commenters who point out flaws in the math seem to get their comments deleted or downvoted so that doesn’t help. It’s a controversial topic which makes it really hard to just crunch numbers without being accused of picking a side or trying to skew the results.
Coming up with the stat that 10% of men will commit a rape in their lifetimes is wild though, and super sad if true.
