a militia armed with three-shot rifles which might explode at any moment wouldn't get very far.
A militia armed with AR 16s and AK 47s with 50 round drums wouldn't get very far against a government equipped with stealth bombers, UAV drones, tanks, etc.
The engines used for the Antares are refurbished Russian NK-33's, originally built for use on the N-1 booster. These engines are pretty much 40+ years old.
So is the engine on my Hemi Road Runner. Want to run for pinks? There's this thing called "maintenance" and another called "improvement" that all the cool guys do.
Oh yeah, get off my lawn.
So really, the conservatives are doing us a favor. Once the planet is unlivable, we'll have to leave. So doing your best to destroy the environment is actually progressive.
Yes, sending a rocket into orbit is a major breakthrough, just like it was half a century ago.
I know it thrills the hearts of the Galtians among us that some billionaires have finally succeeded in solving a puzzle that the rest of us solved collectively in the early 1960s, so I'm going to refrain from saying "big whoop".
Space will not be truly conquered until private enterprise makes it profitable to do so. So yes, it is a "big whoop" as you so eloquently put it.
Especially since I predict the greatest impact of North Korea's nuclear program is if they manage to time their detonation to be in LEO above Nebraska, taking out the maximum number of LEO satellites and spraying debris through orbit, possibly causing the Kessler effect. And that being in addition to an EMP causing massive disruption over the US. We are at the point where a single nuke can cause trillions of dollars of damage. Just getting it there is the problem. No more space program, public or private, until it's cleaned up, if we are to the point where a nuke in LEO can seed the cloud.
You make the assumption that a long list of authors indicates a truly collaborative research effort. In practice, this is very rarely the case. From my experience, nine times out of ten the work is done completely by the primary author or the first two authors. The rest of the authors are supervisors, technical managers, those who secured the funding, possibly a technician who assisted with the experiments, etc., who never even lay eyes on the paper until it's basically finished.
You make the assumption that the work is done by the primary author or the first two authors. It has been MY experience that the work is often done by the rest of the authors and the the primary or first two just take the credit. My $0.02
The interesting thing here is that the story Didn't push his agenda yet his story was still rejected. Does that not simply lend credence to his claim of "the end of democracy in America"? Have his opponents not heard of Barbra Streisand?
If I were offered a chance to work on something with Dick Cheney, I wouldn't care if he pushed an agenda or not. What's right is right.
This is typical political BS so prevalent in the US. When the Dems blame the Republicans for some issue, the Republicans say the Dems do it too. That's regardless of whether either statement was true or not. The point is to deflect blame and raise suspicion of the other side.
Further, since we can't trust the media to actually dig into the actual truth on this or any issue, the Chinese likely will be successful in their efforts.
I read Stephen King's "Gun" (which is just a blog that he charged money for, but I digress), and he make some very good points, to whit:
Both the left and the right are yelling at each other, and making really stupid points without getting anything of substance done about gun violence.
Banning toy guns is something that the Left thinks 'Sounds Good", and the Right thinks is taking away their "god given" right to guns, and is just total bullshit. And I consider myself a Liberal.
I personally have no lov e for any of the Bush clan, but I really don't think this is any better than if your dirty laundry were aired for public scrutiny
In the defense of the Texas State School board, it is a " theory ", just like the "Theory of Gravity ", which I hear they're going to put to the test by having a mass jump from the top of the tallest building in Houston. Wish 'em luck with that.
Yet such resistance to open up data on it. These are legal guns and these maps allow prospective homeowners to know which neighborhoods are "safer" (one way or the other). Leave it up.
I guess you don't believe in privacy . BTW, I have check your location through your ip address. See you soon.

I doubt they have the storage capacity.
you're kidding, right ?
"The app chirps at you when it notices rough braking, aggressive acceleration, or speeding over 70 mph."
I do that all the time. I like to do that. That's why I bought a sports car. Why would I want an app to chirp at me when I do that?
Hack the module to go "way to go !" instead of chirping

Precisely. If there is any chance at all that my gun will simply refuse to fire when I pull the trigger, I don't want anything to do with it.
Then I would guess you've never fired any kind of semi-auto gun because they're so totally reliable

Yes. Ironic isn't it?

You need to get out more

The best defense is a good offense, after all.
I do miss the days when you could charge your phone once a week, but not so much I'm willing to go back to having a basic phone.
Why? are you near an electrical outlet only once per week?
Maybe I'm lonely and need the scrutiny to validate my sense of worth.
