  1. Smaller perhaps, but if you watch the on-land successful return, they hit the bullseye, so I doubt the size is the issue.

    Pitching & rolling, and a varying vertical location seem to be harder problems, plus they rocket was an earlier version that may have been less capable than the previous flight.

    And by 'year' I meant 'day'. My bad.

    In any case the melting of the ice caps will result in a redistribution of the water mass, and the general warming of the ocean water will actually expand the volume (not the mass) of the water and thus also change the rotational inertial mass distribution.

    year only gets longer if the angular momentum is changed in a particular way. Judicious planning can actually make the year shorter as well. With luck we can get rid of the slowing of the rotational rate that will be caused by the melting of the ice caps.

    Take it as a write off? Do you even know what that means? Sure it is always good to have positive customer service, and to have people know about it. But reducing revenue is not the same as double dipping. And the 'free advertising' was not free, it cost them ~6.7% of that month's revenue.

    I bought a laser cutting machine, put it on low, and just burn the text onto the paper. No cartridges to return or refill ever. I currently use solar panels for power, but I don't like the 80% inefficiency, so I am looking into using a lens and fiberoptics to use the light directly. This way I can also incorporate a prism and do color printing.
