Take a tidally locked planet around a flare star. Let the sunny side be too hot for life, so that the dark side is just the right temperature for life. The dark side is also well-protected from radiation by the mass of the planet, isn't it? As long as the atmosphere isn't blown off, which it wouldn't be according to theory, what would be the difficulty for life? Obviously photosynthesis wouldn't develop, but we have plenty of life on Earth that doesn't require that, and the abundance of photosynthesis on Earth may simply be an adaptation to the abundance of sunlight we have rather than a necessary path for life.
We could probably do a regular-matter probe that'd get there in a hundred years, as long as it's an extremely light micro-probe which only does a flyby. The thing about sending a probe though is that it might be more cost-effective to build a bigger telescope to get the same data. It's not necessarily better to get a tiny probe close for a brief flyby than to develop the tech to look from afar.
The Copernican principle says we are more likely to be roughly average in space and time.
Evidence suggests that we are extremely exceptionally early in the development of the universe. It'll last trillions of years and we're not even at 15 billion.
I'd assume that payments for children would be given to the parents, to cover the parental expenses of raising them. A single mother with 6 kids isn't going to be able to feed them plus herself on $700.
You think kids born into rich families are all useless slackers? No, the money they get for nothing allows them to take risks and pursue opportunities without fear -- which causes them to contribute a lot more to the economy on average down the road than the kids who had to work for every cent.
I'm happy with 6 Mbps internet. I downgraded my comcast plan to that to get it down to $50. Unfortunately, my choices here are Comcast, Comcast or Comcast.
Minor skirmishes quickly become wars. There are a lot fewer rational actors out there who will back down than there are patriotic jingoists who won't rest until the skirmish is avenged no matter how many it kills.
Of course you don't need social networking to keep in touch with real friends. The point of it is to keep in touch with acquaintances or non-close friends in a passive way without the effort of keeping track of them. Some of those may become real friends later because of it, too.
The "effort" test unfairly favors retired seniors who have a lot more time to waste than someone working long hours. It's not a fair measure of actual interest in voting at all.
The spread of smallpox is inevitable, so trying to stop it is silly. Eliminating smallpox will just cause some other virus to fill its ecological niche, so you'll almost certainly cause more harm than good.
It isn't necessarily wrong. Camels may still be smoked by more doctors than any other brand, though I haven't checked the latest survey. The commercial makes no claims at all that the doctors are certifying it as healthy, and doctors remain human and free to pursue unhealthy habits.
Non-sterile males with unviable offspring are more effective because they waste the time of the mother mosquito and prevent her from finding a viable mate while she raises the eggs.
If removing this mosquito species somehow has an unexpected dire impact on the ecosystem, it will be extremely easy to re-introduce them to the area. In fact all you have to do is stop buying the genetically modified species and wait a few years.
They haven't outlawed the mantis-forearm-erectile-disfunction experimentation. They've only outlawed making the mantis forearm inheritable by children.

More importantly, parachutes have no precision and are subject to the wind.
The majority of SpaceX missions, including this one, have been for communications companies. It's safe to say they're seeing economic benefits.

I've witnessed people giving food to beggars many times. They've all accepted it with thanks. Your example seems to be an outlier.

Satellite internet is not price-competitive. It manages to cost way more than even Comcast, for much less service.

Are you new here? Editors don't read the summaries they post, never have. Submitters can thus slip in whatever ads they like.
Other Space was good. It's the only thing I ever watched on Yahoo.

Which is more valuable, understanding how the universe works or producing money for a business? I'd say the former.

If you remove aedes aegypti, velociraptors might make a comeback to fill the human-eating niche.

Non-commercial web pages are still being made. It's just that the commercial web naturally has all the marketing dollars to become popular.
Given their population sizes, China and India eventually having space programs was a foregone conclusion.

Genetically ensuring healthy babies/children could save a lot of health care resources that can then be devoted to helping older people.
