I think the most alarming part of this post is the fact that you say- "Why is a question I never ask my homeowners when they choose to remove a healthy tree. Knowing why is not my business. My business is to fulfill their wishes."
From what I have seen, there is some overlap, but there are definitely differences. I checked out a few of the other arb forums when I was looking for advice in my first year, and this is where I got the impression I should go for the best explanations about why one should do things this way or that.
I am not sure what you're asking here. Who is it that has the passion and emotion? You, me, or NASA?
Science and the creator are in perfect balance.

I usually get people (unprompted) explaining why they want the tree out, I listen for a bit, but if it gets boring or they’re labouring under the delusion I care, I tell them, you don’t need to justify it to me, you want it out, I’ll do it.
I am probably not as experienced as you, only been doing this 25 years. Maybe someday, I will be better at telling customers what they want. When I was younger I went around talking people out of work, only to drive by a week later to find my competition on their site. If they own the property, it’s their business what they do with their trees. If they want my advice or opinion, I will give it. If not, I don’t go sticking my nose into their decisions.
I just don’t see why poking holes in a government organization that brings zero value to the taxpayer, is it worth hard feelings? Your not wasting your time, we are crossing swords and learning to sharpen one another.
Zero value? Like, ever? Because that take would be a massive steaming pile of horseshit.
Easy, I watched Interstellar too. Don’t get upset at me about the wife’s cyst. I’m talking about the moon missions. Complete waste of time and stolen money. If you believe that the inventions that are attributed to that organization, would not have come about without them, you need to read Kevin Kelley’s, “What Technology Wants”. About every major invention that contributes to the quality of life on Earth, was being worked on by multiple people at the same time. The light bulb for example. It was a race to the patent office and Edison just happen to get there first.
Interstellar? Wife's cyst? What are you on about?
I gladly pay my taxes. Is some squandered? Of course. I squander money too. But the overall common good that comes from them outweighs the bad.
I'm sure slavery had nothing to do with that
It’s quite interesting how these boards flow. Anyone who descents is labeled a troll. Meanwhile, the majority who refuse to descent, gaslight the descender by attacking anything but a valid point. I made several arguments against the moon missions, 33 replies in and they have barely been addressed. Instead of addressing the arguments, logical fallacies are being used. Particularly ad hominem attacks. It’s like trying to have a conversation with a pissed off woman.
The beautiful thing about celestial bodies without an atmosphere is that everything is preserved. So the evidence is readily available to any person with access to a moderately powerful telescope.
I'm not sure what this was so I won't comment.
What makes you think there's no cockpit footage? Due to limited bandwidth, often interior cameras record locally and will be released after the footage can be downloaded. Since the orbiter just landed and there probably a ton of data to sort though maybe we can be patient.
The word you were looking for is dissent.
That's the part where you lose me entirely. You're not worth the effort.
