Kelly has messed up big time on 2 occassions

Kelly, one of the most intelligent characters on this show, hasn't messed up much. But when she did, it was big time.

The first time, she messed up by deciding to have sex in space and keeping the baby. Everyone knows that in low gravity, bones and muscles don't have to grow strong enough to support the body's weight, which was true in case of the Sojourner and the Mars stint. Result was that the crew ended up burning through resources, Ed almost died (idk why they couldn't program the lander to fly itself in a suborbital trajectory, would have meant less weight, more speed, and not worrying about needing fuel to land, the lander was toast either ways), and Alex was confined to outer space.

The second time, she decides to hijack the ship to land on Titan despite them realising the stolen data wasn't accurate. Now, fortunately, the landing goes well, but she decides to risk the life of the whole crew just because she thought Ed was too chicken to land on the Moon and on Mars, despite not knowing the full context (Apollo 10 wasn't built to land, the dust storm on Mars hid unknown hills till the last moment). Yes, the choice to not land wasn't entirely rational, but the ship hijack was worse, and it destroyed the commander's confidence.

Plus her being the daughter of a dead Helios shareholder and still being unable to fund science robots in season 4 is weird.

Decided to have Jet Boosters on my SSTO

I need jets to get me high and fast enough for the nuclear engines to work properly.

It is very difficult to land though.

Don't really get the hate behind 16:10 displays

There is no change in the overall laptop size, as the space occupied by the chin is now occupied by the screen. A taller screen means more vertical content can be viewed.

Yes, black ribbons are visible when content does not support that resolution, but those black ribbons could literally be plastic bezels and suddenly all haters would disappear.

Every character's worst trait came back to bite them in season 5

Walt - Ego issues

Hank - Overly desperate. Took the case way too personally, and forgot that his brother in law is a deranged criminal

Jesse - Was a baby at the worst possible moments

Mike - Assumed himself to be morally and intellectually superior to Walt and tried giving him moral advice

Saul - Johnny English would have been better at protecting him from his clients randomly storming into his office and beating him up

Nazis (And Todd) - Pure evil

Skyler - Involvement in tax fraud pulled her deeper into the drug empire

Ted - Has no concept of money, probably sprinted for the first time since birth

Lydia - Had a panic attack every 5 minutes, watched too many movies

Marie - Didn't know when to STFU, lying about medical bills

Gretchen & Elliot - Didn't know when to say no

Scam emails are revealing a worrying trend

The fact that scammers no longer base their phishing attempts around lotteries/ancestral link but around low-paid part time jobs tells a lot about the job market.

Made a wingless jet

Flies really fast, moderately difficult to take off, tricky to land. Really useful as an interceptor and a crewed missile.

The power and gimbal of the Saturn engines makes controlled flight possible without control surfaces.
