Intellectual Property should be a two part concept. The idea, and the implementation of that idea in a commercial product.
Used to be for a mechanical patent, you had to build a working model. Why should people be able to dream up stuff that they can't possibly do, only to profit when someone actually does it and commercializes it?
Step one, for any of this, is to build a "permanent" for real ship.
A Ship that you can point in a direction and go. A Ship with a rotating section for artificial gravity. A Ship with a multi mega watt power source A Ship with several smaller vehicles for going to and from a planet etc.
Shooting people up there in a tin can that will burn up or be turned into a hut just isn't viable. Take the time to do it correctly.
Not even 4 posts down and someone is defending the insane, thumb sucking, safe space needing, microagression fearing, losers that occupy campuses today.
Fourth of all, this site needs to list who moderated each comment. It should show the username of the moderator, and what rating was given. If somebody's deemed responsible enough to moderate, then they should be willing to have their name attached to any and all moderation they do.
Either that or provide a "I disagree" mod that is neutral.
If you are going to push an agenda by trying to suppress others comments, at least have the balls to put your name on it.
It's not clear to me how having a battery on board is going to move the plane from the terminal to runway the and back again without embedding some sort of drive mechanism in the wheels. Unless a fuel cell produces thrust? WTF.
Me thinks the technical details have been utterly muddled by the original FA.
1. Use real costs. The fact that there is an "insurance cost" and a "self pay costs" tells us all we need to know about medical bills. They aren't tied to the actual cost of service in any meaningful way.
2. Make it transparent. How can anyone plan for non-emergency care when the prices are hidden behind a wall of Insurance red tape? I had an elective procedure done. I was quoted one price before and then presented with a bill for 5 times that later.
The costs of Nukes is largely influenced by litigation and regulation which results in construction cost increases due to delay. Unless you think a 20 year delay in your construction schedule is a zero cost situation.
Not to mention Lawyers that can suck a Sperm Whale dry.

It's not a treaty, so nothing in it has the force of law.
If someone can't sue now, they can't sue even after Obama signs it.
You are a special kind of troll that we should all cherish.

subsequently lost the ability to do that
Well, had it taken away from them.

So...we need legions of illegal aliens on Mars then?
Slashdot improvement suggestion #18...a fucking edit button.

I second this:

She did...and made $100k on $10k investment in a day.
How many hundreds of pound will this add?

This is the technological equivalent of obsessing over some Kardashion boob job.
They also announced the focus will move from technology to Japanese Girl Bands.
3B Junior Rocks!
Alright, for all you Pedants out there...
"Check that the mistake made with the Hubble wasn't made with this one"
Better?
Now get a Margarita or something.
Did anyone think to point this thing at something on the ground and check the focus?
Because they didn't think to do that for the Hubble.
Sure. Because Arson is a lessor crime than poaching.
I have a better, better idea.

I was about to post a snarky comment on how some Slashdotter will defend this in some backhanded manner.
Guess I was too slow.
and it was all because of greedy fat cats.
Sure.
What, are you a former East German?

In 2003 and 1965
Interconnected grids led to blackouts over huge parts of the US in the past and presumably leaves that possibility open in the future.
I think making one huge US grid is just asking for a huge failure at some point.
And requires a feed directly off the grid.
Ain't no windmill going to power that.
