  1. Re:Joke's on them on China Developing Manned Space Mission To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Already happened a bunch of times. (six?) SpaceX will be sending a pair of rich twats around the moon in 2018, be sure to come back then and post about how they couldn't get through the Van Allen belt.

    Oh, and stop getting your science from shitty Fox documentaries. The moon landings happened and only tinfoil hat dickheads think otherwise.

    Seems more like Turmp is interested in 'safety' to the detriment of literally everything else. Hell, he has to make up imaginary terrorist attacks, he's that keen on 'safety'.

    If our species learns to live in space, it will have potential to go on indefinitely. If we stay on earth, maybe a century or two tops. That's what's "so great" about it.

    Or if you're Disney, infinite years.

  6. There is no innocent in the rule of law, as you like to pretend to understand it. If this is too difficult for you to understand, realize that a court verdict is guilty or not guilty, it is never a finding of innocent.

    Particularly patronising tone you've managed there.

    innocent

    adjective: innocent

    1. not guilty of a crime or offence.

    Turns out the definition of 'innocent' contains the words 'not guilty'. If you'd been less of a dick about it, you wouldn't look quite so stupid now. Oh well.

    You should strive to be less obsessed with Elon Musk. Might make you happier.

    Earth has a powerful magnetic field. You might as well suggest oceans. ;)

  10. Re:Missing one very obvious point on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    I would imagine that it's more to do with making Mars a less harsh environment with respect to radiation. e.g. for humans walking around on the surface. I don't think this is expected to turn Mars into Earth Mk 2. It's far too different anyway. (small, slightly too far from sun, frozen core, etc).

  11. Re:Let's do it... on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    The nuclear stockpiles that exist on this planet make it pretty unlikely we'll see out the next century or so. Doesn't even have to be a deliberate act. More likely to be accidental. Given that, I think the urgency is warranted. Our ability to deal with existential threats is one of our worst competencies.

    Only on slashdot would the term 'gravity well' be associated with 'hipster'. Most hipsters I've encountered are aggressively uninterested in science and tech apart from iPhones.

    Because if I understand quantum theory correctly, it both works, and doesn't.

    If you're talking about superposition, or decoherence, then I don't think you've understood.

  15. Yeah let's get pissed off that advanced tech, requiring that many non-trivial problems are solved, isn't already here and already old hat. You've just pointed out that we don't already have QC. Well done.

    It's a shame the liberals want to allow anyone to just walk into the country

    What's an even bigger shame is an apparently grown man unable to argue against peoples' real position, and instead having to strawman and put words in others' mouths.

    Shame? Deeply pathetic really.

    The biggest problem with liberalism is liberals.

    They only fixate on getting the free rainbow unicorn.

    Thanks, I needed a lol. What the fuck are you on about anyway? You don't like liberals, is that it? I daresay what counts as a 'liberal' to you all boils down to how you feel at that particuar moment, no?

    If not, go ahead and define liberal please.

    Then Northern Ireland and Wales will also demand to get in on the action by demanding that a similar test in Gaelic and in Welsh be used in their area for at least a certain percentage of Uber drivers.

    Sometimes, the 'thin end of the wedge' type argument is a fallacy. This is one of those times.
