I read the letter. The smallest "bands" that can be reported are zero through 250 for aggregate orders, or zero through 999 for more discrete types. In other words, the companies are not allowed to say there were none; instead they have to say between 0 and x.
Or ask Hibbing, Minnesota. From 1919 to 1921, the entire city moved about two miles to make way for what became the largest open-pit iron mine in the world.
If you think of asteroids as widely scattered mountains scattered through the solar system, they are going to vary as mountains do on Earth. Most are heaps of ordinary rock and ice. Some have more minerals, some less. A very few might have a lot of resources. But even the richest asteroid is very hard to get to compared to any mountain on Earth.
The Old American Legation in Morocco is actually not an active embassy. It is not American soil but it is still listed on the NRHP. The Apollo sites on the Moon are also not American soil, obviously, but they are of great historic and cultural importance to the United States.
The United States Department of the Interior listed a location outside the nation on the National Register of Historic Places: the oldest American embassy. The Apollo sites are certainly as worthy of preservation. They should be listed as historic landmarks.
The 1954 Hodges Meteorite, which crashed into a house in Alabama, is the only one in recorded history to have actually hit a person. She survived, suffering only a bad bruising.

In a scientific article, I would expect stellar temperatures to be given in Kelvins.
In a popular article, Celsius or Fahrenheit (depending on country) are probably expected and more understandable to a general audience.
Ideally, any good article would give the measurement or estimate in the original units first (and with the original degree of precision), followed by a conversion if needed for the expected audience.
It wasn't his idea, though he did popularize it in a 1945 story. Herman Potocnik published a paper on geosynchronous satellites for communication in 1928.
The military intervention against Serbia regarding Kosovo is not often called a war in the U.S. but is certainly seen as one in Serbia. There were other U.S. military actions during the Clinton years: including elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia and in in eastern Africa (Somalia).
Almost every U.S. President in our lifetimes has sent troops into action someplace in the world. To the people who live there, that's a war, whether we call it one or not.
You're right, it's not a good thing to put all of humanity's eggs (or seeds) in one basket. Someone has to take the lead, though, in making the first one. (Actually, the Wikipedia article says this facility will be an improvement over one that has already been in use since 1984 in an old coal mine on the same island group.)
I was raised in the United States in a home without a television. So I became a bookworm instead of a TV watcher, and I think I turned out just fine. As a kid I wished I had a TV sometimes, but as an adult I don't regret missing 70's and 80's commercial television at all.
Have you ever tried to get rid of a mosquito you could hear but not see: in a dark room, for example? Not so easy. And hey, since this thing is a Minnesota invention, maybe "mosquito" is a good name for it, being our state bird.
So, instead of a constitutional amendment, which which would require the approval of Congress and 34 states, he proposes to implement this through a compact approved by Congress and all 50 states?
In Wikipedia culture, "the 'pedia" refers to the encyclopedia we produce: what the reader sees, as opposed to "Wikipedia" which is the project to produce it, and includes lots of background stuff, Wiki politics, etc. Of the two, the 'pedia is the important one.

Just thinking about those pages and pages of arguments about including that little silent "h" makes my yog hurt.
"...beating his sister by 33 days as the youngest person to find a supernova."
If he's 33 days younger than his sister, their mom had a rough couple of months.
The HyperLoop, contrary to what the icon depicts, is not a big truck you can load up with all kinds of stuff. It's a series of TUBES.

The name is a reference to its location.
From its website:
"St. Lawrence was first built in 1136 in the east end of London in the old Jewish quarter..."

Well, there was the Kingdom of Hawaii and countless First Nations annexed before that on the long pursuit of the Manifest Destiny.

Hey, it's my god-given right to celebrate the independence of my country by blowing up small pieces of it.
"where Solar wind changes from supersonic to subsonic speeds"
Sonic as in speed of sound? Why would the speed of sound be significant in vacuum?
The post office can take my India ink fountain pen from me when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.
Yes. Cut out the meaningless modifier and intensify the metaphor.

On the EN WP, it's called semi-protection. Its use is supposed to be quite limited, just to articles where vandalism is particulary active.
