We can tax starships? What a great idea! Especially since none of the owners are likely to be humans, so their vote won't count - even Norquist should be good with that
I am going to do a Kickstarter with a $100,000 goal to be used to come up with a good idea within a year. The $5000 from NASA will represent a 5% return on the investment, which is very good these days.
If they could capture the water from the tailpipe, gather the CO2 from the air, and use a windmill on the roof of the car to generate the power to make the fuel, they could DRIVE FOREVER!!!
I think you missed the point - it was not the length per se, it was the relationship between the journey and the destination. In this case at the end you arrived...no where at all. Hence the disappointment.
In any real world situation the effects, however minute, of the continually changing local gravitational field due to the motion of all mass and energy will affect the rate of local time and thus will confuse the concept of simultaneity. Only in an unreal highly static situation can you accurately define the idea.

I don't understand. If China is the rising star, why go to Canada?
Pi plus some student programmers - should be done for $1500. Which begs the question - if it still works, why replace it?
the JDAMs were actually delivered through the interweb tubes directly to the command center
SpaceX can retrieve it long enough to hit the reboot button...
Wall mount, plug in power block. Totally indestructible in either rotary or touch tone.

nucleogenesis
Oxygen created from hydrogen, using solar power.

Perhaps a vote on the subject: On the left the Mull opponents; on the right the Mull siders.
I'm sure the NSA could give some guidance in this area
A door lock override from the ground if the flight crew calls from the main cabin with an appropriate code?

it could take longer than in his books, which, frankly, were interminable.

Absolutely
No projector required, only a thumb!

not even possible to realize 'same reference frame' except in an idealized classroom example unless the two observers are coexisting in the same spot
Simultaneous? Ain't no such thing...
