I have read there are resources in our solar system that would benefit our industrial civilization, maybe they could do paper on the limitless opportunities?
Comments like those aren't going to make you many friends here, if you want kick ass karma you have to buy into political left wing agenda. Science is just a tool. 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' is now 'The only thing we have to sell is fear itself.'
That list is worrisome, without a doubt, but Obama isn't a freaking Republican so he skates.
Now, if he were a (R) and closed an off-ramp you would see his imminent impeachment.
Obama is Obama, all you're going to get is people falling on their swords . . .

That's the truth, the only problem is you have both Democrats and Republicans who want it eliminated.
If the Tea Party was what the Democrats spend so much time and effort chuckling about (the kiss of death for the Republican party) why do they spend so much time spreading negative propaganda against it? Why not keep their distance and watch the GOP self destruct?
The truth is the Democrats see the Tea Party as the most significant threat they have ever come up against because the Tea Party is the middle class. The DNC drums up 'Koch Brothers' talking points to account for its very existence. Hell, they astroturfed Occupy WS to counter the Tea Party (Occupy is all but dead). How much did that cost the union workers?
The establishment Republicans are hardly better, they pay lip service to the Tea Party folks but make no mistake - they see these conservative small government types as much of a threat to their holding power as the left does.
The Belarusian Connection - Obamacare network vulnerable to cyber attack
'U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website, raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans will be compromised.'
'The health department has provided some information on spending. It paid $174 million on contracts tied to Healthcare.gov and supporting technology through August, a sum that jumped to $319 million by the end of October, according to Albright of the Medicare agency.
The figures suggest a late surge in spending before the website’s opening. Only $18 million was spent in October, Albright said in an e-mail.
The Medicare and Medicaid agency owes $630 million for the work through September, Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the health office, has said. The agency didn’t provide updated information on the amount owed, or obligated, for work since the October debut of healthcare.gov.'
It was amazing, all six of us in the kindergarden (Sussex, WY) went to the teachers house (Miss Jackson) and we watched it live on a B&W cathoid tube based viewing device made by a company called Zenith.
Call me old fashioned, I actually watched the first moon landing in 1968 while in first grade, but I sure hope they do end up using it.
NASA used to me about space exploration, manned space exploration.
'The A-3 testing tower will stand 300 feet and be able to withstand 1 million pounds of thrust'
As far as I'm concerned what this article says more than anything else is NASA has lost it's way.
I got my daughter a Asus - Transformer T100 - 32GB because I didn't feel like shelling out for a Surface Pro. There was some good reason I went with it instead of the Surface RT, something about Outlook. All I know is I really like the little guy, battery life is freakishly long.
The only complaint I have about any tablet is fingerprints, I'm a little OCD and I can't deal with the smudges.
He, or something like him, will eventually get its way.
It will be for your own good, and there will eventually be enough people on his side you won't have any choice.
It does indeed hurt to listen to these fools with power decide what is best for us.
Yes, Tolkein is a must. I missed that in my list, one of the most important books of my youth. Two Years before the Mast, good. Will look into your list.

These people could at least be a little less predictable.
NASA is dead.
Beat me to it . . .
Hold on, let me ask the NSA.

That was actually pretty funny.

So Slashdot is the only place you'll hear the truth about the Surface? I always wondered.
Thank you. Whatever else there is there is the truth, and in the end that's all we really hope to understand.

Yup. The deniers will deny it now but that's the incontrovertible truth.
