A quick google says "After surveying nearly 2,000 male students at a midsize, urban commuter university in Boston, Lisak and Miller found that of the approximately 6 percent of men who admitted to rape or attempted rape, a startling 63 percent reported committing more than one rape, with an average of six rape acts each." Not that self-reported crime stats are very accurate, but they can serve as a lower bound.
This may yet happen once Falcon 9 Heavy proves itself with manned missions. The problem is that, right now, SpaceX's human-rated heavy lift spaceflight is theoretical. It's hard to cancel NASA's plans for a commercial alternative that doesn't actually exist yet.
It's hard to overstate the prevalence of rape when nearly 20% of women have been raped. When does get badly misrepresented is who the danger really is -- most people fear being raped by a stranger in a dark alley, when in reality it's somebody you know who does it 83% of the time.
Cutting your country off from any trade with an entire continent, and thus destroying your economy and reducing many of your people to poverty, is not promoting the general welfare. Not for Zika. Maybe for a zombie outbreak.
Have you ever read the emails? These aren't smart people. They're exceptionally stupid people, preying on the elderly who've developed dementia but not been hospitalized yet.
The only place I can think of that doesn't have a lot of kids is nursing homes, and even there the grandkids sometimes visit. Perhaps we'll have to fund Musk's Mars colony so we can send sex offenders there?
Most animals have very short lives compared to humans, so who cares if they'll develop cancer after 20 years exposure? We know quite well from our studies that living there would cut human life expectancy unacceptably.
What changed is the protests scared the leadership so much they arrested many reformists and disqualified them from future elections. Former speaker Karroubi is still under house arrest today, and the media is still forbidden to even publish pictures of former president Khatami.
One you blow up a support pillar of a regular bridge, the whole bridge will collapse into the water and everybody on it will be dead. What's the practical difference?
Voting libertarian moves the republicans a bit toward libertarian ideals in the next election cycle to try to recapture those votes. Voting green moves the democrats a bit toward green ideals. Whereas voting for the "lesser evil" in a state whose electoral college votes are predetermined does nothing (ask Al Gore how much winning the national popular vote matters). A bit is greater than nothing.
It may be sensible if you live in a swing state, but it's completely nonsensical if you live in a solid blue or solid red state. Your vote for Clinton/Trump does nothing, your vote for a third party actually influences the major parties much more.
A lot of people (not myself, I'm voting Stein) may have mainstream political views which are much better represented by the major parties than by any of the half dozen or so minor parties likely to be on their ballot, but still dislike the individual candidates of the major parties.
Some people go to the theater to get away from the screaming kids, family members talking on their cell phones, etc which they have to deal with at home.
Tech evangelists make horrible TV writers. Obviously 99% of the crews of Star Trek ships could've been automated away, but who wants to watch a TV series about machines? Bad flashlights set mood better. Watching people swap data crystals looks better and clearer and less boring than watching someone send a file over wifi. Etc.
Snowden has personally criticiszed oppressive Russian surveillance laws and never claimed that the life of the general populace if freer in Russia than the USA. His life is what's relatively free in Russia, because of his special circumstances, and that's all he's talking about.

Such a ship would have to be manufactured in orbit, and we're nowhere near that capability.

Please. The administration has never once shied away from blaming hacks on North Korea or China.
Might be pretty easy, just hack into the systems Russia uses to fix their elections.
I'd bet you he would. Any excuse will suffice to get a free pass on collecting all that information.
That actually happens some places. One of my grocery stores checks ID for every credit card transaction.

It says 100 feet below the surface. Is it possible for a ship to ride 100 feet below the surface?

Also, last I checked the government hasn't issued everyone a Tesla and locked it into autopilot mode and made all other forms of transport illegal.
Lucky. In California it's $230 for 1 MPH over the limit $360 for 15+.

But I'm Californian. To me, anything below 40 F is very very cold and 100 F is pretty routine.
I go to theaters on weekdays, daytime. They've very peaceful. A couple times I've actually been the only person in the theater.
