“Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the color blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to biro life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended biros would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely biroid lifestyle, responding to highly biro-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the biro equivalent of the good life.
And as theories go this was all very fine and pleasant until Veet Voojagig suddenly claimed to have found this planet, and to have worked there for a while driving a limousine for a family of cheap green retractables, whereupon he was taken away, locked up, wrote a book and was finally sent into tax exile, which is the usual fate reserved for those who are determined to make fools of themselves in public.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Because this is the kind of world where we may go soon. It's the kind of place that may be useful for mankind to live upon. Europa is too far into Jupiter's radiation belts. Titan is both cold and poisonous. Ceres may have enough frozen gases for use to mine and live on.
I have been stumping for this since they decided to retire the shuttle. Stop building big rockets to toss things away from Earth. Get it in orbit and use prestationed nuclear rockets to move it to and from higher orbits. Would just need to refuel them occasionally.
Yes, I had to go help and saw the mess. It wasn't just Ray Nagin. The whole state, parish and city governments were to busy arguing with each other to actually plan and execute. One parish didn't want outside help even after it was destroyed.
You have to make plans and decisions ahead of time. It takes time to execute the preparations you need. You have to go with the forecast as it is at that time. Governors are not weathermen.
The third amendment would be hard to interpret if the battle was happening inside your house. A data center being used or attacked by a foreign power is part of a battlefield.
These are 2 different situations. If Dell pushed all your Windows 7 pushes, and decides not to any longer, how could Microsoft fix it? That is the situation Google is in. Of course, that is not how Windows updates, but it is how Android updates. What is the point in creating a patch no one will see?

Pay the poor to host servers, would mean that they are no longer poor. Unless you plan on not paying them much.
The same way people struggle to understand why "Grok" means "to drink" in a Stranger in a Strange Land.
So that is where dark matter is coming from. The Universe is filling up with someone else's neutrons.

As it states, "final celestial target in the asteroid belt." Ceres is an asteroid. The largest one, and the only one classed as a dwarf planet.

No, this is evidence that we don't understand gravitational waves.

That way we can have people watching you from inside your house.
