  2. Rail Gun... on SpaceX Successfully Tests Nine-Engine Cluster · · Score: 1

    What if we just built a couple mile long rail gun up the side of a mountain and use that to shoot stuff and people into space?

  3. Actuarial Science on Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    I love my job as a Property/Casualty actuarial analyst. It is a nice mix of math and business. I can spend time on my own delving into how to compute complex business problems, or I can dumb down insurance concepts so a group of insurance agents can grasp them. From an education standpoint, you can graduate with a bachelor's and get a job. There is another 3-7 years of exams (which companies fully support with study time and study material) after which you are at approximately Masters to PhD level. Not to mention there are something like 20,000 credentialed Actuaries in the US.
