I don't know what it is, but even nice respectable people who smoke don't seem to have any issue pitching their butts out the window when finished, often not even making sure they are out. Not just a few wildfires have been started by this behavior.
Apparently Hyperloop is not receiving any Government funding.
This is good news because it eliminates all manner of stupid requirements and it shows that the investors have confidence.
Specifically, I expect they will not be required to serve some stupid Congress Representative's district even thought that would be uneconomical...ala Amtrak.
Most of Obama's signature programs have been built on a foundation of sand. Executive Orders, Policy changes, etc.
The result is that they can and have been easily reversed.
Now if you want to re-instate such programs and policies, do it the right way and come to the table prepared to abandon the hysteria and alarmism and actually deal in good faith when measuring the effects vs good economic policy. Then real legislation can be created to lock in the policies.
I believe that most of the Envirowacko's agendas can be restated and implemented in economic terms that don't include doomsday scenarios and zealotry.
On the other, the current form of racing to do this or that before anyone else is going to end up costing someone their life.
I would suggest we don't really have anything to prove these days and that their needs to be far more cooperation between all the various entities building and launching space vehicles.
Of course there is no "anti-gravity" but there is a way to create gravity...centrifugal force.
This is so well know I won't even explain it. The engineering has already been done on this at NASA and it's not really that big of deal, although it calls for a more expensive, complex and larger space craft.
It is obvious than humans were not designed for a weightless environment and longer space missions to Mars or anywhere else will require a rotating work/living space.
Building LIGO wasn't just the effort of these three. No doubt hundreds of very talented engineers participated in the design and building of LIGO not to mention the many, many bureaucrats that, although often vilified, made this possible by manipulating the levers of government and other institutions.
Why would anyone buy a pair of Mike Jordan sneakers at $400? Why would anyone pay $1000+ for a bottle of wine? Why would anyone pay $100,000 for a car? Why would anyone pay $1,500 for a suit or any other piece of clothing?

Bizarre.
I find it amusing that you have no recollection of Communist countries trumpeting their superiority by citing fake accomplishments.
Maybe you weren't alive then.
If you recall, China is run by a Totalitarian Communists Dictatorship.
I don't think you can put much stock in the numbers they report for these kind of SJW brownie point metrics.
Jerry's High Speed Train from nowhere to nowhere, or the Hyperloop?
Since they apparently are not relying on government funding, I don't really see why you need to get your panties in a wad.

However, it won’t have any positional tracking, which means that high-end VR apps available on the Oculus Rift headset won’t run on the device.
Is this different than head tracking? If not, what's the point of VR without head tracking?
The industry was on it's last legs when fracking came about.
I'm in!
But it does provide all the Pearl Clutches something to fret about.
Tell that the the coal miners.

The fact that these "filaments" are strung from one galaxy to another suggests they are clinging to or following some kind of structure, no?
Well, English isn't Science.
...competition is good.

Even NASA themselves [nasa.gov] are comparing the International Space Station with the rotating space station from the movie 2001
We have lost our Space Program. Sad.

Do you get a pay check every week, bi-weekly, or monthly?
A Bureaucrat makes sure that you do.
Bureaucrats can be assholes and an impediment to progress. But without Bureaucrats, most progress would never be realized.

I hope they receive some recognition also.
..Civil Forfeiture is an immoral and most likely Unconstitutional act.
You can't have governments just taking your shit because they THINK you have been a bad dude. If they have proof, then prosecute and confiscate.
Yep.

"Need" is nowhere in this picture.
LOL!
I was just going to post something about their moderation system consisting of Nazi ratings and here you are.
ROLMAO!
LOL!
Brown asks why a Communist Authoritarian Dictatorship can do something , but not California.
What's wrong with this picture?
Has Zuck built his wall around his mansion yet?
Danny and this guy should get together.
I bet they would have lots to talk about.
