  8. Light pollution, period. on 2014 Nobel Prize In Physics Awarded To the Inventors of the Blue LED · · Score: 2

    As we transition to LED lighting, make sure you buy Dark Sky friendly lights. It's great that LED streetlights are hooded and point down now. We need to stop wasting money creating unnecessary light pollution just for aesthetic reasons.

    You have obviously never been in the military. Any type of planning involves a lot of people telling you how the plan is wrong and needs to be changed.

    come out of the military.

  14. Re:Ridiculous on NASA Asks Boeing, SpaceX To Stop Work On Next-Gen Space Taxi · · Score: 1

    It also has to safely escape on the launch pad and shortly afterward, the very problem the shuttle had. Boeing and Spacex have well defined and soon to be tested approaches to escape from launch accidents. I haven't seen how Sierra Nevada plans on solving this.

  25. Re:Wait, these are for real? on Astronomers Find Star-Within-a-Star, 40 Years After First Theorized · · Score: 1

    The outside of a Red Giant may be thought of as very tenuous, but the core is still a very dense place. The heat of the core would supply enough energy to the plasma so that it can, on average, escape being pulled into the neutron star. The extra gravity would actually increase the nuclear fusion rate, and generate more heat. Then again, on average, some of the plasma would be pulled into the neutron star. Slowly, the star core would be consumed.
