well, i can think of LOTS of 'projects' that could've saved the trillions of dollars, in absolute, 100% waste.
The B1 bomber. The B2 bomber. The stealth bomber. The F22. The F35. The war in Iraq. The war in Afghanistan.
Shall I go on?
Let them go to 'and places beyond' in their fancy shmancy 12 million lb. thrust rocket. It's far more cost effective and easy, to send probes and rovers to other places in this solar system. The real question is, 'Who will be first to manipulate the higgs field in such a way that will allow for light speed or near light speed travel'?
the name of the dept. for this article leads me to believe that the person that posted it ALSO does not have a girlfriend. poor guy, he should go outside.
I was lying in bed last night, reading a book that is set in 1998, and it suddenly occurred to me that I REALLY miss the pre-9/11 world. So absolutely sick of hearing about all this supposed terrorism.
You obviously missed the 'or anywhere else in the solar system' part. In simple words that you might understand: 'there isn't enough matter in the solar system to do this'.
Agreed. I will die very unhappy if at least 1 of 2 things don't happen in my lifetime. #1 contact with extraterrestrials. #2 witnessing a massive supernova.
Every one of these 'hacker' news stories brings us one step closer to an internet kill switch. The government knows that the riots will begin soon in the US, and they are trying to set things up to make it hard to communicate.
Beware.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Anonymous and Lulzsec and others aren't just fabricated excuses to allow the president to enable his internet kill switch.

If they found your DNA, and cloned you, it wouldn't be YOU. It would just be a copy of you, like a twin.
The sad thing is, most Americans actually believe that.
As someone who actually does believe in Creationism, even I am holding my head in shame at these claims.
As someone that knows that creationism is bullshit, I am holding my head in shame that people like you exist.
I heard this is also how World of Warcraft subscriptions stay so outrageously high.

'The Conservative Party still maintains their innocence...' One thing repubs are great at, denying ironclad evidence.

Alastair Reynolds, my favorite hard sci-fi author.
Big Brother.
yes. we must do all we can to help the endangered human species...
