And maybe they go for the ka-ching because they have bills to pay, little savings to live off, and are trying to establish themselves so that they can continue that bill-paying thing. Don't be so bloody condescending.
Yes. The tech and space race during the cold war drove huge demand for technical and specialized labor, as well as immense demand for the resources and know-how to educate such a workforce (an increasingly educated workforce generally means a more productive one). Even if there isn't an immediate product being produced, you're still drawing more people into higher paying jobs, and giving them experience that will benefit them for their careers well after a given project is done. The economical benefits of even pie-in-the-sky research are positive and long lasting.
And before somebody says anything, no this is not a broken window fallacy. A BWF would be to say the money put into building the rockets is value added. This is a different argument.
Kilometers per mile. And I've got to say, anything above 50 kpm is extremely bright at standard atmospheric pressure with room temperature and nominal fluctuations of quanta states!
Yes, lets forget about pesky stuff like 'putting things in context' and 'lets critically assess the empirical data'. I want to be self-righteously outraged, and I want to be self-righteously outraged now, dammit! Anything to the contrary is supporting the fat cats.
How is a sum of money classified in a budget? "Hey, out of our $30,000,000 budget for projects A, B, and C, we spent $10,000,000 on A, $5,000,000 on B, and a classified amount on item C."
The bad wiring, the large amount of flammable materials, and 100% O2 environment was obviously an exercise in bad judgement. But the inward hatch design itself, though dangerous in hindsight, was to originally used improve safety for modules landing in the ocean. IIRC an outward opening door design almost got one of the gemini pilots killed.
But that's besides the point. The government didn't build the Apollo 1 command module, that was contracted out.
And the aliens tried to breed the most intelligent of various species to bolster the mental capacity to match theirs. The rejects they sent to work for the history channel.
Mathematical models is like software, in that in theory they work great, but in practice the fail many times, in many unexpected ways. Also, complex models require real data to calibrate. ie there tend to be many parameters that we need results to find their specific values.

"that you malign"
I didn't malign anybody. I think we're done here.

Or like similes to metaphors.
Why would you put the phone horizontal? That would be rather uncomfortable.
To fit in a pocket around the leg better?

You misspelled Murphy's law. :P

Unless you're in the 70s jeans industry. Then everybody's into the bottom bell curves. :P
And it's a knee jerk reaction . . . how?

I guess that makes sense.

It's the same as my social security number.

There's a >0.0000000000000000000000001% chance that you exist in this position and state in the universe. So stop doing it.

Why, so we can have more first posters?
to take something down than to make something new.
