Opinions and Internet: what are real threats?
What are the real threats? The thing is that when in the extraordinary conditions happens something, what might feel common, the threat would be very big. Or what would you think about the situation, where the toilet seat will be broken in the International space station? Also, the wrong instructions can cause worse things than being make nothing.
The Internet is a good place to tell opinions about things, and maybe that thing has been open the eyes of the people that the world is not black and white or even grey. It's the place where there are many people, who have many opinions, and that thing is the thing, what we must remember.
The thing, that the Internet has been uncovered is that the world is full of people, who are still believing, that the Earth is Flat. I don't know how serious those people are, but that thing is a very good example that many times superstition and other things like cultural traditions are causing even risks in people's life.
Even in the 21st century, there are people, who would resist vaccines because that is against their religious opinions. And of course, the Internet is a good place to send political and religious propaganda all over the world. The reason why that kind of propaganda affects to people is that it offers simple and easy solutions for many problems.
And those solutions are a masculine and impressive alternative to make things. That is one point of view, and the thing is that maybe something must be done. The thing why populism and propaganda affect people is that it offers the possibility to make something cool, like standing on the street and carry assault rifles. But are those things effective against real threats?
Most threats, what can risk space flight or military operations are common things. Does anybody even think, what happens if the toilet seat would be broken in the hypothetical space station on the Titan moon? Or what if the sanitary system would leak the dirty water on the roof of Cheyenne Mountain?
When we are analyzing the threats, what can cause problems in military operations or spacecraft, we are creating many interesting algorithms, which are calculating possibilities that something goes wrong. But has anyone asked, how often the toilet seat would be broken? What happens if in the space station the toilet seat would be broken? And what if this happens in the Saturn's giant Titan-moon? Who will fix that kind of thing?
COVID-19 has shown how vulnerable society is against this kind of threat. There are many other kinds of threats, what have ever mentioned and one of them is the virus, or chemical leak, which leaves the military headquarters under the toxic fallout. And one thing that the creators of those bases have ever thought is what kind of problems the leak in the sanitary system can cause.
What one leaking toilet would make, of the polluted water would start to flow on the floors of the billion dollars bunkers. The question is, can any of those people fix that kind of problem? Or what happens if the toilet would start to leak in the spacecraft? That kind of thing might feel little things, and normally we would solve that kind of problem by calling to property maintenance, but who would we call if we would be some astronaut of the ISS, and want to fix this kind of problem? Has anyone told the technical staff, how to fix that kind of problem in spacecraft?
