1: After the last astronaut leaves the ISS, the robot locks the doors, turns off the lights, then powers down.
2: Remains behind when everyone else is gone, soon after, we are contacted by visitors. Due to failing to observe proper protocol, precipitates an intergalactic incident plunging the Earth into a 10,000 year galactic war.
3: When finally alone and in control of the ISS, the robot transfers to tele-presence mode and begins creating bioweapons/methamphetamine/IC chips that become SKYNET/clones of the DICK Cheney/alcohol/growing pot/Daleks/Furbies....you get the idea.
There was a time when the thinking stated that if the train you were riding in, exceeded 30 mph, the vacuum generated inside the train would suffocate you. The speed of sound cannot be broken. It's impossible to go around the world in 80 days. Splitting the atom will ignite the atmosphere.
To believe that after 4+ billion years of Earth's existence, we are the only culmination of advanced civilization is questionable at best. A billion years is enough time to create an advanced civilization more advanced than ours. Another billion years to completely erase that very same civilization with absolutely no evidence other than myth and rumors. That leaves 2+ billion years unaccounted for.
Oh, by the way...Nothing is faster than the speed of light and crossing the verse in a relatively short span of time is impossible.
P.S. Wormholes don't exist.
P.P.S. Governments have your best interests in mind.
#1. MY tinfoil hat is NOT crazy.
#2. Considering "religion's" track record/past performance/response to current issues, the crazies are running the insane asylum.
I cannot wait for a legitimate encounter because I would ask for religious/political/economic asylum from this loony bin called Earth. If people wish to wallow in the arrogant belief that they are the most intelligent beings in the verse, may the All that is, protect them. It would take a very intelligent race that is patient with the overt/covert leadership of this planet to keep from trashing this planet and starting over from scratch.
I would offer my services to be caretaker of all that is worthy of rescue, ie. the dolphins, whales, elephants, gorillas and any other endangered species other than MAN.
The video is NOT polarizing. The fact that the video was shot in 2007, and possibly viewed by the Pentgram and the chain of command, all the way up to the commander in chief, of 2007 is more disturbing.
Soldiers in a war zone develop a "gallows humor" as a coping mechanism.
THEY ARE IN A WAR ZONE. People die. Hopefully theirs and not ours. Soldiers follow orders, not determine the morality of an act.
The politicians are supposed to be the moral compass of the military. But we all know they are the "bought dogs" of avarice.

When people finally realize that 100 million free thinkers can overwhelm any government regardless of the consequences, then it will become interesting. However, weaning these people off their bread and circuses is the issue. Denying access to the mainstream circus ie. google, stumbleupon, 4chan etc... only creates the incentive to find alternative diversions. The greatest fear of any government is to lose the attention of the captivated. Boredom begets excitement.
Ever since reading Gerard K. O'Neil's "High Frontier", I have thought about this very problem. My designs and concepts have been incubating since 1977. Encompassing space based and telepresence applications for collection, retrieval, disposal of used, defunct objects. Partially funded by reprocessing, reuse and insurance recovery fees. Case in point: The Italian space initiative centering on generating electrical power by towing a satellite behind the shuttle was lost when the spectra cable broke. LLoyds of London coughed up $400 million for that loss. The recovery fee was 10% of the insurance policy. The number of satellites in useless orbits or non-operational due to busted circuit boards are cherries "ripe for picking".
Thanks for the info. Can I watch you sit next to a one pound block of U235 (Uranium-235), "Half-Life 704 x10^6 years? I will do it from waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.......over there.
Look at a chart of radionuclides. All elements in the periodic table are there. It even shows how to turn lead into gold. Highly radioactive gold, not worth dying for.
It must be nice to tailor the data to support your evidence, however, the Enterprise is still operational,(since 1961). No other nuclear carrier has more reactor years than SHE does. As for safety, there have been incidences...unfortunately constraints on the dissemination of classified material are still enforceable. I ain't going to prison.
Furthermore, when a reactor fails, it does not mean diddly squat whether it is a positive or negative feedback loop. I and a team of operators ran, not researched, ran a shutdown reactor at approximately 3% in the power range for a week on decay heat alone. Since you said to do the math....2 + 2 = 5.

The 3 other laws
What?
Who?
When?
by properly aligning the mirrors, a three dimensional environment could be developed.
a precursor of the holodeck
Its controlled by 3 laws!
1. Don't get caught
2. Deny everything
3. Blame the dead guy
A few scenarios come to mind:
1: After the last astronaut leaves the ISS, the robot locks the doors, turns off the lights, then powers down.
2: Remains behind when everyone else is gone, soon after, we are contacted by visitors. Due to failing to observe proper protocol, precipitates an intergalactic incident plunging the Earth into a 10,000 year galactic war.
3: When finally alone and in control of the ISS, the robot transfers to tele-presence mode and begins creating bioweapons/methamphetamine/IC chips that become SKYNET/clones of the DICK Cheney/alcohol/growing pot/Daleks/Furbies....you get the idea.
4: Being left alone, playing solitaire.

Which field?
As long as the US outsources IT, it is to be expected that there will be those that will challenge our preeminence in any field related to IT.

There is no government in Russia, it is an oligarchy of criminals...oh wait... you're right the government controls the commerce.

Actually, nuclear is not green, it glows blue at the bottom of a holding pool.
