How is this a science meme?

Womp womp.

It's the circle of grift.

Didn't they just buy all those studios? Is anyone in upper management listing losing job over such gross incompetence?

The unilateral presidential pardon was a terrible idea, and we should get rid of it at the earliest possible opportunity.

TFTP is fine for LAN, but very inefficient for sending bulk data over the Internet.

To keep things as simple as possible, TFTP sends one packet at a time, waiting for a response before sending the next packet. If your ping is 50 ms, the that's 20 whole packets per second. (That's assuming zero packet loss, otherwise it will be even slower.)

For historical reasons, the packet size is locked to 512 useful bytes. That puts the transfer speed at 10 kB/s (80 kbps), which is faster than dialup but not by much.

Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.

Horror episodes do exist, but they're rare, and not generally representative of the series as a whole.

What sick person gets the license to make a Star Trek game, and decides survival horror is the best genre fit? Have they seen a single episode?

I'm not okay with any of those things.

Right idea, wrong number. Satellites in low Earth orbit are typically moving at about 7-8 km/s, depending on the exact altitude. The speed required to get from the surface to deep space (i.e., the "escape velocity") is 11.2 km/s.

The escape velocity for the Earth is 11.2 km/s. If you shoot a cannonball upward at that speed, it'll have enough energy to completely leave Earth and never come back.
