The machine could be faulty, print out exactly who you voted for, yet still record your vote wrong. How would having a piece of paper help? You can't go back and change your vote.
The Geneva Convention is about the treatment of prisoners of war. You are referring to the Hague convention, which covered the Laws and Customs of War on Land.
The space plane will need a boost back burn. You are not going to be able to glide back from hundreds of kms out to sea where you reenter the atmosphere. Unless you land on an aircraft carrier. You will also need fuel for the entry burn unless you carry the additional weight of a heat shield. Both methods need some kind of landing gear/legs.
Spacex looked into that. To glide back, you need wings and control surfaces added to the rocket. All additional weight. Spacex came up with a way to do it that uses the rocket engines that are part of the rocket already. The less your rocket weights, the more payload it can place in orbit.

That's the only way anyone can afford it now.

No, they don't count. They treat curling like it's a real sport.
Of course, Rational Americans are analyzing the pros and cons of both real and complex arguments to determine the solutions to the problem.
This is about the non-american Somoa.
Don't worry, he will launch them all to Mars.
Businesses are finally comfortable with upgrading.
Don't worry, Windows 7 has been slowly upgraded to spyware, too.
Wasn't NASA working on a new suit called the "Z" Suit?
