"... commercial entities trying to make things *not* cost too much would have been noticed,.." becasue it's wrong. Private industries are driven to make thing as expensive as they can get away with.
Stop putting words into his mouth. " If he would at least qualify his criticism of private space industry " His criticism is regard private industry going to Mars, and he is correct. Tyson has been a a supporter of private industries in space, but the only money in it for the private industry at this time is satellite launches, restocking, and getting people into low orbit.
" have had just a slight impact on advancing things like aerospace " because of government contracts. NASA contracts out. They set the goals for thing private industry doesn't have.
I wouldn't. Elon Musk gets too much attention. Not only is hyperloop and old Idea(I read about something just like it in OMNI magazine in 1981, or so.) His idea to go to Mars seems to be lacking in a ot or practical details. His car is a nice car, but it's not exactly a new invention.
Paypal? he got lucky. There where a lot of people working on something similar. So nothing about it is exactly ground breaking.
Sure, all that was hard work, and need some clever idea. None of it compares to going to a different planet.
HAHAHAHA. Everyone on that list did what they did based on government infrastructure and RnD.
NO one is saying private industry doesn't invent. What it does very poorly is create and maintain infrastructure needed by every one. Science doe science sake isn't done in the private sector very much anymore. Meaning large companies. Having a large goal thats just for exploring has always been the work of a large body of people pooling together tremendous wealth. i.e. a government.
Bell labs started from french government funding, via an award.
"In 1880, the French government awarded Bell the Volta Prize of 50,000 francs (approximately US$10,000 at that time, about $250,000 in current dollars[1]) for the invention of the telephone, which he used to found the Volta Laboratory, along with Sumner Tainter and Bell's cousin Chichester Bell.[2] His research laboratory focused on the analysis, recording and transmission of sound. Bell used his considerable profits from the laboratory for further research and education to permit the "[increased] diffusion of knowledge relating to the deaf".[2]: And " Support work for the phone companies included the writing and maintaining of the Bell System Practices (BSP), a comprehensive series of technical manuals. Bell Labs also carried out consulting work for the Bell Telephone Companies, and U.S. government work, including Project Nike and the Apollo program."
Guess who made it possible to have the infrastructure to lay telephone lines?
Look, you have missed the point. When they government does a large project, they don't literally burn money. They set goals, developer engineering and the go to the private industry to build things to meet the goal. The vast majority of these things are thing private industry would never have researched on their own. There was as time where the idea of a smoke detector in the home didn't even exist. NASA needed one, took bids, got a private company to make one. The private company went out and start the smoke detector industry, and many private companies shave improved them.
"...funding for the Federal Department of Educations doubled under Bush Jr..." no it did not. In fact his program cost the education system and the 14 billion he eventual got them, in 2005, still doesn't cover the costs odff his program. A program experts in the field said wasn't worth the money. And they where right.
"Democrats constantly talk about how Republicans hate science, want to destroy education, hate medical research, and so on.. but the budget numbers across the board tell a different story" No, they do not. I suggest you actually read the numbers and the policies; which are the foundation of those opinions.
Wrong. We has said, many time, that he would like to see private industry do the routing thing we do now. Launch satellites, restock the space station, etc..
Here, he is talking about going to Mars. This will cost billions of dollars, to go to what is currently a planet that can not support life on its own. There is a lot of knowledge to gain, a lot of science to do, but it will take a long time before thee is enough infrastructure to private enterprise to do it.
Business only thrive when there is an infrastructure in place, and there s reasonable assurance of a return. Columbus was a government funded enterprise, as was Lewis and Clark, was was expansion across the US, as was Marco Polo.
For one, they could get rid of the people who keep lying to them about the extent of the problem. two, They have access to more moeny and can get t solving the actual problem.
This is all about how tepco handle everything post tsunami. And we are starting to see they weren't as unaffected as we were led to believe. This is why we should build more new tech reactors and they should be run by the government and the electricity sold at cost.
He's smarter then that, a lot smarter. He is position to get the feds to stop enforcing it completely. Once enough states allow it it will be impossible for them to turn back, no matter who is in power next.
Neither part can undo it without going against what they claim their party stands for.
Can you not read? maybe english is a second language?
first off: I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
there isn't enough money, so the best of his ability is to prioritize.
"not that this is the first time a president opted to ignore the law and rule by fiat." FIFY
You should try to understand the parts of the Constitution you quote as well as comprehend what all the words mean.
This is the best political move to get it legalized. If the people in the state want it legal, the fed is saying they are going to respect that states right, with qualifiers.
It's a great move and the best one that could happen in the current political climate. As far as moving towadrs legalization.
Please try to remember he is contending with a congress full of obstructionist and people who would let the country burn before legalizing marijuana.
" This usually happens. Its the norm." no, not really.
How is this divide an conquer? If your state want's it to be legal, then we won't go in.
And the poster was just using Queensland as an example of rule or law. Calm down.
Oh, you are so filled with hate for Obama that you stopped thinking. I should have gathered that form the first post. My bad, please go on frothing.
There is a lot of good data the backs that up. I would say there is enough evidence to put a over 21 law into effect until it is furthered studied. It does seem to happen to upper middle class kids as well.
Clearly, we need better studies, but sometime we should be prudent.
"I'm a Nietzschean." Maybe you should read his work? Because that term is stupid. do you mean Apollonian and Dionysian? Perspectivism? Do you call your self that becasue you want to grow a wicked mustache and die while trying to save a horse?*
I wrote a paper yeas ago('83) that looked at overman not has humans, but as the robots we are creating. It tied nicely to Nietzsche's writing on art.
*May or may not be true** **the horse bit. It is true about his mustache.
the philosophy is dead and anyone that has practiced it in the last 50 years is just riding the coat tail of it's reputation. What have the done? nothing. What have they added? nothing.
Hell they don't even changing their philosophical questions when science as rendered them moot.

Actually, they would claim he wan'ts total disarmament to week america; even though nothing he said or write would indicate that.
If it had an energy type that lead to fusion, then yes.
If you mean more oil then, no.
Here is a clue:

Bah, build a sphere around it, add air, grow trees. Make it habitable.
Which we will defeat and steal all their tech and get a pre-made moon base to boot!
It's also a great tail on how the market corrupts.
We have been mining energy for years: see Oil, Coal.
