"Canada's new push to attract foreign tech workers..."
Reminds me when the Avro Arrow (at the time was the fastest flying fighter jet ever) and the Avrocar (a real flying saucer, and led the way to hovercraft vehicles) were cancelled. Prior Canada was the third largest aerospace power. It was said thousands of Canadian engineers moved to US along with German engineers that was a great boost for the US space program. Will they become a major contender? A Canuck Silicon Valley? A Canadian be the first to walk the surface of the Moon since Gene Cernan?
It seems Dems, govt, and others victims of cyberattacks. I haven't seen mentions of such on the Republicans or some emails from Trump. Maybe RNC doesn't use internet as much as the DNC? Or no dirt on Trump to release because he openly says what he thinks anyway? Just wondering.
No way the electoral college will be abolished. It is too entrenched and almost all the states will not agree to such a Constitutional change. Big states that are fixed to either D or R want to retain their huge winner-take-all delegates. Smaller states want to retain the electoral college otherwise they will drop into insignificance during campaign season. I can see the reasoning behind it, perhaps the focus should be candidates that have leadership qualities and able to balance various factions. Right now we need to have unity but unfortunately the president elect thinks, "oh I agree as long as I'm the unity!"
Sounds feasible in a place where extreme wealthy people can build winter village on top of a skyscraper in the desert and have lots of snazzy business jets. However, can hyperloop scale up to move lots of people like high speed rail in Europe and Japan? Decades ago SST was going to be the primary transport but it never could scale up like subsonic transport. Latest Boeing and Airbus transports don't go any higher or faster than the 707 and DC-8 though much better and safer airplanes.
"Because all my facts are right. All your facts are wrong!" as we have witnessed over the years. Just keep the browser a browser. What I think needs improving are websites with useful information, none of this snazza frazza script stuff with cutesy little pics dancing around the screens. But I guess we would then argue about what info is useful or not.
I click to read these comments and ad pops up, Boomsourcing shows ad, “Cost-effective Outsourced Scaling. Get pricing!” I did a screen snapshot to save with my other stuff like article about Putin sets effort to bolster Russian air forces and to the side, “Meet Russian Beauties!”
with all the scandals exposed, etc. what is this "classified government business" files from Clinton? any specific stuff like from Snowden? Or is everyone missing the key items like Klaus Fuchs was never suspected because the anti-commies were focused on Oppenheimer?
I heard there are diamonds are the size of watermelons (imagine that!) way down in the earth of the high pressure and temperature. As they make their way to the surface over the millions or whatever year they get broken up into much smaller pieces. Where they are elevated are in certain areas such as Africa, however, I heard there is a region in Russia (though doubtful because Soviets would have used diamonds to disrupt capitalists).
I don't think anyone has moutains of diamonds though sounds like a good story plot. Journalists battle mob figures preventing exposure of hugh stockpile, disruption of certain economies and governments.
following up on this but with some baseball, a friend attended some minor league games and he said in some ways these are more fun than MLB games. Besides much lower costs, they had various activities for attendees between innings to keep everyone interested. He felt there was much more audience interaction than the majors as they don't have huge celebrity draw they then use other things to have people return to the next game.
yeah right, as someone else pointed out millions to the athlete and billions to the corporations but trickles to the hotdog vendors. They may do alright along with many others working the stadium. The ones I think should be reasonably paid are NFL cheerleaders. They are professional dancers of quality class like Broadway, showdance, and open pro competitions. The auditions are tough, requires candidates with formal dance training, athletic endurance with ballet precision. It takes more than just being pretty, they put on a show for the audience with technique and presentation of lots of "wow" factor. They are not salaried like the football players, they do get a stiped for each game. However, they have to be employed (cannot be still living with parents) and being enrolled in college or raising a child is accepted as employment.
I've been to a couple big games in my life, there is the new Levi Stadium in Santa Clara (where they had Superbowl 50) but to me it is as distance as Olympic stadiums. I've heard cost per seat is so high most are purchased by companies for their clients and employees. I could be wrong, I don't have much interest in football and don't keep up with the news (was it the Cleveland Lakers that won the Superbowl?).
I was wondering what would happen to SpaceX if Trump is elected. I read someplace that Pad 39A was allocated to SpaceX for their big rocket in return for Elon Musk donated to Obama's re-election campaign. It is obvious a Trump administration will undo many Obama programs, and SpaceX lose Pad 39A? That sure would disrupt plans for Falcon Heavy.
Yes, and books by Paul Spudis and Dennis Wingo go into great detail. However, when you talk of the Moon then you gotta come up with some money (lots of it) now for hardware. That's why everyone loves to talk about Mars because real money for real hardware (transfer stage, habitat, lander) can be deferred 20 years into the future for some other smucks to deal with that. Yes, Musk has plans to send something big in less time than 20 years but much of that is demonstration. Maybe he has grand plans but it seems much is missing from public view.
Really, I use it when I come across a URL but the site went down or a website that is interesting or has certain info I am looking for (i.e. a story or spec sheet for equipment) but the owners either went out of business or died. I even donate money to IA, I sure wish I knew of their party. I've been to a few "Lost Landscapes" of Prelinger's collection. Of course don't expect IA to archive everything, it just can't be done. Their neoclassic, Greek-columned home on Funston that matches their logo, that was coincidence. Logo came years before then they got a good deal to locate on Funston Ave, they were pleasantly surprised front of building matches their logo. In the rear of main seating are racks of servers. When a light blinks it means someone is visiting archive.org.
Reminds me what test pilot and astronaut Michael Collins wrote in his book in 1960s the F111 was intended to be multi-purpose. He used car analogy, "Dad was to use it for commuting to work, mom use it to take the children to school and go shopping, also will be used to deliver concrete, and on the weekends it was a Formula One racer." And this was more than half century ago.
Exactly. Marshall Plan was to prevent what happened after WWI when we just left Europe to fend for itself in the war's aftermath, which led to WWII that was more devastating. Too bad we were not able to do the same with Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
I believe historians and archaeologists in the future may have difficultly telling the difference between fact and fiction of the space program. Whether it be Roswell or Area 51 tales, and today occasionally someone will say something that NASA did this and that but that event was from a movie. Another example are youtube videos of certain airplanes doing amazing things but yet it is really CGI.
I also refer this movie as a tutorial for proper use of CB radio. I'm old enough to remember when a license was required to use CB but with the craze during 1970s, the FCC threw in the towel and declared it license free. In fact those that have the FCC paper copy of their CB license is quite exclusive, like being a member of a club no longer able to join. Some predict GMRS may go either license free or the freq allocated to some other use.
Whatever else people may think of the architecture or Elon personally, that is admirable, and it is hopeful, especially for the younger generation that hears no end to the doom and gloom and have to put up with a couple of idiots running for president this year further depressing them.
It's been done. Back in internet early days (1990s) someone made a webpage with showing post mastectomy photos, got into trouble because it showed "nudity." However, the woman who created this page wanted informative photos because only pictures available were very basic line illustrations. Doctors and nobody would show such photos.

Interesting as the Big Z is friends with Obama.

It will be left to SpaceX ...

The city on the Moon has to exist first.

Good thing it's only 10 years out
for the past 60 years.

I didn't RTFA, I guess this turn was able to outsmart Buford T. Justice.
best explanation of all this ever!
