I would suggest parking any asteroids to be mined in the Earth-Moon L1 or L2, that way they don't get in the way, and are rather easy to reach. Also, it allows factories to sit in the gravitational equilibrium spots. Even shipping the finished products around the solar system is damn easy from there.
As far as moving the rocks, just design an automated ion "tug" that can anchor to an asteroid, kill its spin, and push it here slowly using the ITN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
As far as gravity, just spin your smelting operation on a tether. Lastly, the lack of atmosphere is a GOOD THING for smelting, as you don't have to neutralize the atmosphere like you do down here on Earth, so you get far purer results.
I don't know why anti space nuts feel the need to make out how HARD everything in space is...the only thing hard about space stuff now is the money it costs to do these things. If we devoted half of the military budget to setting up orbiting colonies/manufacturing, it would be trivial to do it.
The better argument would be to argue that they kill bats, which they are known to do via causing their lungs to explode.
WHAT?
Please, some kind of citation, I am interested in the mechanism behind a wind turbine making bat lungs explode. This sounds like the fan death assertions out of Asia.
So, your assertion is that if I "invent" a new way to compress files that is super effective and lossless, that I should have no right to patent that invention, and instead, the very next person that can write my algorithm into a software product should be able to entirely deprive me of income?
So, you think no one should ever make money on software?
The facts speak louder than any of these envirowackos, even including the deaths from the nuclear bombs, nuclear is still safer than ANY other power source we have.
But let us all hide under the table in fear of the big bogeyman that is nuclear, we can't have cheap power because someone might cry in fear over the nuclear plants.
Shh, we can't inject reason and actual engineering into these decisions, they must all be based upon gut instinct or we can't have a reasonable discussion of the risks of nuclear (which is as near to none as any other power plant in on the planet).
The original estimate was $400 million, final cost after the overruns was $2.5 billion. We could have launched 4 of them for the costs of the 5 servicing missions.
It is up to you if you think it was worth it, personally, I think it was, though perhaps lifting two would have made for even better pictures.
You mean you couldn't get a high speed in the snapchat filter by being a passenger in a drag race vehicle? Also, how is snapchat forcing anyone to go fast when the filter explicitly says to not use it while driving, and gives no trophies for speed related activities?
Even if there was a speed trophy, wouldn't your local drag strip be a better place to earn that than a public road that could get you thrown in prison?
It seems like my truck has a malfunctioning cloaking device the way people pull out or turn left right in front of me. You would think they have a death wish.
So, perhaps you haven't ever used any of those products, as they all outperform the Apple TV.
Also, the Tivo is absolutely a streaming box, it is just a streaming box that also records. All tv show listings show the streaming listings right in line with the recorded, or current listings, so how is it not a streaming box?
As you seem to possibly know a bit about this, do you know if there are any second factor devices that are compatible with gmail that are screen based rather than NFC/USB based?
and that he was also destroying four more hydroelectric damns in the Northwest US including Copco and Iron Gate where my brother has worked.
Which is quite sad, as most of the damage has already been done in existing dams, so all that work to build a exhaustless power source, and it is being demolished because it is "bad"

Another simple question.
Why do you post this to every single story?
If you seriously wonder what everything has to do with Slashdot, perhaps you really don't belong here?

Hey, don't knock it, I'm sure it is a lucrative career.
I'm sure it is possible, but I find it highly unlikely that a bird is going to take down an endangered raptor...

According to that, the total cost of all the upgrades came in at $10 billion.

It seems that that could not be true, or else the dinosaurs never would have existed.
The nutrition was enough for huge lizards(birds?) to survive on, it should be enough for humans.

Yeah, her server was totally secure, no doubt about it.
Also, you don't give a damn that she exposed classified information to foreign people (at least this guy, most probably Russia and China)?

The parrots don't have opposable thumbs
They don't? What do you call the toe that is on the other side of the branch if not a opposable thumb?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Wikipedia says that they have opposable thumbs, in fact parrots seem to have two thumbs on each leg.
As you seem to possibly know a bit about this, do you know if there are any second factor devices that are compatible with gmail that are screen based rather than NFC/USB based?
Will they work with an RSA token instead?
Yes, but how does that technology improve solar photovoltaic setups like the one being discussed?
