You have obviously never been in the military. Getting soldiers to think on their feet and solve problems is the majority of training. Knowing how to technically use and maintain weapons and equipment is a small part. If you check, you will discover that privates are a small minority of soldiers. Modern warfare requires people who can think.
1: You only push the engines into orbit once. That's where the cost is the highest. 2: You only need to bring up fuel, not oxidizer. Chemical rockets need both. Hydrogen fuel is very light, compared to the oxygen you don't need. Yes, the fuel could be something else. 3: Large expendable boosters are not reused. I know Spacex is trying to change that. 4: Far easier to create a reusable launcher to low Earth orbit than one which can throw ships to higher orbits.
We need to launch a few nuclear tugs. They can be used to move spacecraft up to higher orbit, so we don't need to use large expendable boosters. Just get the craft into orbit, meet up with a tug, and push it to a higher orbit or even escape velocity. Then the tug can return to low orbit to be refueled and ready for the next mission. The tug still needs propellant, it just uses the nuclear power to heat it for propulsion.
The oldest thing we have still running is a Windows 95 box that controls a heating system. We have been trying to get money to replace the heating system, but it is still working and there are other environmental problems that had higher priority. The Windows 95 box is not hooked to a network, and locked in the control room, so it isn't a security risk. Not sure what processor that thing is even running. Probably a Pentium Pro or Pentium II.
We have some old machines which are clearly unable to run Windows 10. They barely run Windows 7. Yet, they keep getting notifications to upgrade to Windows 10, and list it on available updates. It is never going to run on a Pentium M or D machine. Microsoft, include a hardware check before you try to push it!

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
They didn't know they weren't supposed to do that.
Or Planet XI, if they hadn't demoted Ceres in 1860.
That's why we need to invent the Death Star.

Star Trek holodeck? Maybe Ender's Game?
Then call that one the iPad SE, and we can call the new one the iPad SE/30.
Since it has the same screen size as the Macintosh SE.

Yes, and they should never have given up on development.
If you don't like it, there is an option to turn it off, and stream full speed. It just uses your data allowance.

I was actually referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
But what if P=NP?
Make everyone read a 5 paragraph paper from the advertiser before they can download the paper. You need to offset the cost of peer review and hosting.
That was my first thought, too.
It's the humans that need more laws.
Let the feast of a thousand hams begin!
The article is referring to the US military drones. Not everyone else's.
Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!
Pilot bread is next to inedible, but a godsend when you are desperate.
The National Guard does have law enforcement powers in their state. The federal military does not.
