This is precisely why the Ottawa Treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Treaty) bans landmines. Of course this is not sufficient, because of rogue states like USA which didn't sign it, but this is better than if landmines where broadly produced, exported and used in every conflict.
France's oldest nuclear plant is Brennilis. It ran from 1967 to 1985. It is still not fully decommissioned, this work being more complex and more expensive than foreseen... And there is also Superphénix, running from 1986 to 1996 and far more complex to dismantle, because of plutonium and sodium.
I don't know who was this "French guy" you heard, but according to french officials there is about 1200 french fighters in Syria with ISIS or other groups, and a little less than 200 who came back to France. Furthermore, most -- if not all -- of them are french citizens and nothing can be done to prevent them to come back home -- not because of french laws but because of international laws : no country can force another country to keep one of its nationals. All that could be done is sending them to jail in France but currently, as they have broken no french law, all that can be done is to keep an eye on them.

Helicopters and other rotary-wing aircrafts do not takeoff and fly by "pushing air down". Vertical takeoff jets like the Harrier do.

Being Slashdot, "Japanese space tentacle" would be clear for everyone.
Maybe using SI units rather than neolithic ones would be more important than the number of digits of pi for NASA.

Rosetta travelled 10 years to reach its primary target, comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
(but you are right, I missed the end of the sentence)
"New Horizons has traveled a longer time and farther away - more than nine years and three billion miles - than any space mission in history".
What about Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2?
NASA will shoot, not ESA.
When it's a matter of shooting, US is best!

The EU, on the other hand, really only differs from the US in hate speech
They also differ in many things considered as "outrageous" or "inappropriate" in the US and not in the EU.

As the screen is very close to your face, you need an eyepiece. One for each eye.
Do US troops count as wildlife?
And US saved half of Europe from being Soviet.
