Yes, ICBMs are the big boys, but the B-52 can still deliver tactical small scale nuclear weapon.
the USAF has solicited for designs. Multiple times.
The point is, it's a well designed bird, and can keep it's design and be retro fitted. No, it isn't magical, and yes it has issue like all vehicles, but no on is saying that. Well, not one but you so you can set up a strawman.
Correct. While we were not in a Mexican stand off, Russia was. They where postruign agianst the US and CHine. In fact, there wherem many 'skirmishes' with China.

Yes, and no. The underling evidences she is basing her op science article on is that it is instinctual to believe; which is is. However we can learn skill to deal with thinking about things rationally.
I hope the sentence you quoted really means that people make assumptions about things and trust that assumption in little ways. When that assumption is brought to light I, and presumably you, apply rational critical thought to it and then dispens with it, or accept it, which ever is correct.
IT says the people have a natural predisposition toward accepting the unknown and putting it into a little box, and confusing Correlation with causality.
Please try to understand the basic concepts of things you don't like. Anyone who doesn't do that is hating something based on a 'gut feeling'' which is useless.
"(which can be easily fixed by your damnedable foot pulling the mat backwards when you realize your gas pedal is stuck depressed...)."
wrong.
IT's wedge under the accelerate pedal but pushing on the bar behind it.
This same car was in an unintended acceleration even with a different driver, and that driver couldn't get the floor pad up with his heels. It was wedged. He put it into neutral and costed to the side of the road.
When it comes to fixing things that fail for an unknown reason in complex system and developing a solution, I want NASA. More specifically I want a government engineers determining what's going on, so we have a far better change of knowing the results.
Kudos to the government for not crating another large agency, but using the tools they have.
How about no? Those are horrid comparisons: 1) The are utilizing existing knows, NASA pushes into unknown. 2) There are companies that started because of NASA. With out NASA, the initial RnD for most the private stuff would be too expensive for it to happen.
"but with a focus on profit (and by extension, cost) we'll see less waste and more efficient use of funds." That's an awfully fallacious argument. Profit doesn't mean more efficient. I wish people would stop spouting damn republican corporatism fallacies.
There is NO comparison between the two,. Space X is riding NASAs coat tails; which is fine and expected. I have no problem with private industry going to Space. In general.
That's not an example of building poorly, that's an exampled of a limited use item going to do something that has never been done before, or much. You post is a strong example that you are clueless about engineering, science and space.
You can put an x anywhere in the solar system, and NASA will get a payload there and back. You let congress make engineering decisions, then you get a buss that does a lot of stuff ok.
Yes it did. I fact, a run away acceleration had happened to the same vehicle with a different driver.
Panic is an ugly thing. Even police officers can panic, especially in an unfamiliar car, with your family, and experiencing run away acceleration.
I would guess he kept looking for a button or key. IN a panic people revert to familiar responses, and his would have been to shut the key off. If you step on the brake, that alone should stop acceleration signal from the pedal. Seems like the easist most reliable way to prevent these things.

Yeah, I'd consider 60 bucks.
is what happens when you coddle and religious groups extreme behavior and the myth that they have a right to tell governments what to do.
You are wrong, and missed the point.

The US was in more of a Chinese standoff~

"'At that point, why not aim for the centennial mark?'""
arbitrary dates are a horrible way to do engineering.
I never said it was a mistake.
Yes, it is useful... but clearly not as much.

Sigh, another Slashdot user who doesn't understand '1984'.
Corporation can already turn your phone off, so you better get rid of it.
AT&T netwrok is what the phnoe ueses. It is not unreasably to ahve them turn off a phone when they have a police affidavite stating it was stolen.
You go you At&T.
You make the request
You show the affidavit You made.
They turn it off for You, the person paying the bill.
In no way is that unreasonable or Orwellian.
Yes, and no.

But you can develop skills to ward against it

This is a continuous patent. It goes back to 1995

Planetary formation.
More facts, theories expand.
Love it.
No it doesn't always work.

yes a minute,in a runaway car you haven't been able to stop, with your family right there.
So panic probably set in. Also, it wouldn't be the first Toyota that would go into neutral:

Or maybe he did put it into neutral.

Yes. The simplest design fix here is when breaking the system stops taking input for the accelerator.
Step 1 is 'Don't panic, think.'

More specifically I want a government engineers determining what's going on, so we have a far better change of knowing the results.

You could not get 10 times more science on half it's budget.
Yes it did. I fact, a run away acceleration had happened to the same vehicle with a different driver.

I would say he was an ill informed driver. It wasn't his car,. and no one probably briefed him on how to turn off the vehicle while it is in motion.
