You're confused, because Kennedy and especially LBJ (who did the most for civil rights in response to MLK) were democrats. The fact that LBJ gave people their rights is the whole reason why the south flipped.
This isn't Boeing talking about launching a private mission to Mars. This is Boeing talking about NASA's mission to Mars. The default assumption has always been that NASA would make it to Mars first, and NASA's rocket happens to be built by Boeing. So Boeing's assertion is not controversial -- it's Musk's assertion that SpaceX will beat NASA to Mars which is more surprising (but well-discussed by this point).
As for SpaceX putting pressure on Boeing to reach Mars... no. Boeing's only Mars pressure comes from NASA, their customer.
We can solve this flaw by issuing expensive citations for bad music. That way the "artist" will lose their basic income to the citations and be back properly living in the gutter.
No. What you have now are left leaning "social justice warriors" calling *all* conservatives and anybody who has voted Republican "alt-right". Not just the Nazi's and the KKK racists.
No. What you have now are left leaning people being derisively accused by conservatives of favoring social justice, who suddenly find themselves loving and missing George W. Bush because the American political conversation has slid so far right that Bush looks like a commie liberal now. And then you have right wingers who have by and large jumped off the deep end into a dreamland alternate reality where they happily and unquestioningly eat up whatever obvious lies support their 'team' and dismiss science as political.
Actually, one of the problems is that they're evil. They're explicitly designed to unnecessarily waste huge amounts of electricity. Might as well be a mad super-villain plotting to melt Greenland.
Both of the people in northern Alaska will have to fish in the river or order their fish from southern Alaska, where the Gulf of Alaska can still be fished freely.
Why is "your kids will never have to work another day in their lives after you die" a good cut off point? The fairest system would be a 100% estate tax on everybody. Then everybody actually goes out and earns their money, and everybody gets taxed much less on what they actually earn. (Unfortunately people would find ways around the estate tax with large gifts in their old age.)
If California's central valley had the incredible population density of eastern China, high speed rail would actually make sense. It's the right project for the wrong place.
It is a good thing, for a handful of uses, which you might run into once a year. Unfortunately the other 99.99999% of the time it'll be used to create monstrosities which every website will shove down your throat.
There are about 5,000 people in Antarctica, despite it being an environment that will never be suitable for human habitation. Someday, perhaps next century, there will be a similar number of people on Mars for similar reasons.
Google's interest is in ensuring that Firefox out-competes Edge and Safari for the #2 browser spot. A popular browser controlled by MS or Apple represents a serious existential threat to Google... an open browser does not.
Mozilla beat IE because Microsoft didn't bother to try. MSIE 6 was a dead project for years, making it easy to develop something better. Out-competing Chrome is a much bigger challenge because Google is releasing updates every week, making it a moving target.
Living in zero gravity for as long as a year is a solved problem. You're not comfortable when you arrive back on a planet, you can't exert heavily for a while and you may have vision issues, but you're functional if you've been doing your exercises. No doubt more functional on Mars than on Earth. Nobody's going to Mars to have an easy comfortable time anyway.
As for what 0.38 gravity does to a person, is there really any reason at all to suspect serious negative side effects? Zero gravity's problems arise mainly from things not flowing downwards as expected. It seems far more likely that reduced gravity is good for you -- being heavy creates a lot of stress on the body.
Turns out that a very good way to make a new vehicle is to just try it, see what goes wrong, and fix it.
Actually, the far enough to not damage the launch pad part is quite important. They're just now back up to 2 launch pads after a previous explosion put one out of use for a year. That's why they've spent so many years trying to get Falcon Heavy right before launching -- they can't afford to keep blowing up launch pads.
And when you do it enough so that the system becomes desensitized to the threat, that becomes the best time to actually carry it out. "Athens Control, Turkish 84, we've got just another one of those joke bomb threats, we're going to continue as if nothing was abnorm *&^%$%^* NO CARRIER"
Actually, bomb threats are made by terrorists in the hope that they will be heeded. The IRA used to call in threats to minimize unwanted casualties, for example. Sometimes you want to blow up the building/plane but not the people. The kind of terrorist who sends a threat doesn't want people to become so desensitized that they ignore the threat.
If Musk were trying to keep the Tesla stock price high, he could've achieved that more easily by simply not recently going on record telling the media that he thinks Tesla stock is currently overpriced: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/1...
The fact that you think a guy who shouts to the media that his stock is overvalued is putting on a PT Barnum act to raise the stock price shows that you've drifted off hopelessly into conspiracy land.
"recognizing the multi-device, ultra-mobile lives we all lead"? Speak for yourself. I do 99.9% of my web browsing from my desktop PC, and so do a lot of people, even if it's not trendy. How about making some software for untrendy stationary people?

So in exchange for the wall we're going to get socialism? Glad to hear it.

In America, there's nothing that can't be tied up by lawyers for decades. See SCO.
"If nothing else, this bit of news reaffirms my view that the Berkeley license provides the maximum amount of freedom to potential users."
In this case, clearly the maximum freedom for the distributor-user to remove the freedom of the end user has been achieved.
Everyone with anxiety issues shall be made permanently unemployed by this technology.

He's worried the fishing boats would get in the way of the oil exploration.

Let me guess, you own Boeing stock and are angry they're being underbid for NASA and military contracts.
If you yell it in the context of "that actor is so bad they should fire him!" then sure, perfectly legal if highly annoying.

The USA certainly executes more people than Russia, though -- even if you count Russia's extrajudicial executions/assassinations.
