An evening pause: Time for another industrial on how some things are made. And it is also no surprise that this factory is in South Korea.

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

That is one HUGE kiln!
Andi–
take a look at this–
->The remains of the “Harrop Continuous Tunnel Kiln” at the Red Wing Union Stoneware Company, Red Wing, Minnesota. Constructed in 1926, it was 358 feet long, and enabled RW to consistently mass-produce dinnerware and utilitarian stoneware (Of which I have numerous specimens.)

“Built in 1926, this Kiln technology was invented in 1919 by Harrop Industries. The considerable cost of 300,000 dollars proved to be an investment in the future of Red Wing. This Kiln guaranteed their success during the “Great Depression” as 40 percent of the clay producing companies were bankrupted during this time.”
I want larger and larger autoclave so…where a Starship’s heat shields can be made one piece or something.
Now…to be fair…if this had been North Korea and done it all by hand—we’d ask “where are the machines?” Yet if it was done wholly by machines, we’d call it soulless Communist industry.
The guy feeding clay into the form better be careful with his fingers…in case of a “slip.”
“I want larger and larger autoclave so . . .”
Saw a few autoclaves that could eat a three-story building at Boeing. If you talked to the operators, they were the only folks that kept the company afloat.
