    The EPA will get it's own SWAT team.

    Eh ,why not? The NOAA has one. In fact the EPA might already have one. Guns and badges for everyone. Makes 'em feel all important and stuff

    Why not, DuPont has Xe/Blackwater, the Gutterment has the NDAA. All the American citizen has, is the vote, for all the good that it does. The only person we can look up to is the elected Sheriff and look what THEY (The Hierarchy Enslaving You) are doing to Arpaio.

    You gotta think in small batches and micro-stages here. We're settling wilderness, so baby steps will be needed.

    The first baby step is to build the craft. The second baby step is stocking it with personnel and materiel. The third baby step is getting there. Do I really need to continue?

    It would be nice if politicians could also be taught to recognize words instead of randomly using them to attack the opposition.

    Why recognize words when identifying suitcases full of hundreds is easier. The only words these idiots understand is Corporate Toad-licker.

    So... what is the theory that its defying? Don't see that part in the summary or in a skimming of the article. All I see is them saying we don't know enough about this yet to even have a theory.

    The real theory, and it is a thin one, is that "WE" understand our own planetary system.

    Yeah, because unemployment is so much more important than ethics.

    Fuck it, let's allow our private corporations to supply goods (weapons) and services (intelligence) to terrorist states too. It'll help fix the unemployment problem, and if we don't do it, someone else will!

    Look what happened to Gaddafi, thanks to the Rothschild banksters. Go ahead, use the program, and you'll end up just like him, besides, the Promise software has done and can do more damage than anyone realizes.

  15. Re:chewing gum + string on Try Your Programming Skills In Space: DARPA Satellite Programming Challenge · · Score: 1

    FTA:

    The algorithm must enable a satellite to accomplish a feat that’s very difficult to do autonomously: capture a space object that’s tumbling, spinning or moving in the opposite direction.

    So you shoot a sticky mass attached to a tether at the tumbling satellite/mass/whatever, let it wrap around a couple of times, then slowly start increasing tension on the line. Just like catching a fish. You could do that entirely mechanically, including attitude control of the capture satellite, especially if the mass of the target "spinner" is known.

    I fail to see how that requires an algorithm or much programming at all, really. Follow the KISS principle.

    Given:
    weight/ mass; speed; x, y, z, T axes; known point on retrieving satellite (reinforced)
    approach object to retrieve, touch with known point, putting satellite into uncontrolled spin. recover from spin recording all data to regain initial position as well as energy imparted to object to retrieve. analyze data and search for plane of greatest energy. touch again. continue to touch object to retrieve, transferring energy to satellite for dissipation. Conservation of momentum. FTFY
