Indeed. Unsustainable growth is the only thing Wall Street analysts respect. What happens to the Netflix stock price (market cap) when new subscriptions (inevitably) plateau?
No, he was not one of the original Mercury 7, he was one of the next 9 in Astronaut Group 2, along with Neil Armstrong, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, Ed White and others.
2 Gemini missions.
2 Apollo missions.
2 Shuttle missions.
Gemini (manned) maiden flight.
1st man to orbit the moon solo.
One of the Twelve who have walked on the Moon.
One of Three who holds the record for fastest humans have ever traveled, 39,897 kilometres per hour (24,791 mph)
Chief Astronaut for 13 years.
And then, the capper, the Shuttle maiden flight:
STS-1: The first manned vehicle to be flown into orbit without previous unmanned orbital testing and the first winged manned vehicle to launch with solid rocket boosters. It was also the first winged reentry vehicle to return to a conventional runway landing. My favorite quote from him: "Anyone who sits on top of the largest hydrogen-oxygen fueled system in the world, knowing they're going to light the bottom, and doesn't get a little worried, does not fully understand the situation." I remember Crippen talking about landing STS-1: (IIRC) "..and John greased the landing like he always does, he was more excited than I've ever seen him, he said 'Let's finish this checklist and get out of here'." -- now that's laconic.
Unless, of course, you want to ship (more or less on time) a product that actually works, indeed, does anything at all besides print stack dumps. Meanwhile, you'll still be on the phone at 7:30 P.M. going "No, no, a hydrogen atom is one proton and one electron...".
Not to worry, viruses NEVER mutate on their own, and containment and procedures will be foolproof and complete, as it will get as much (or more) funding as the research itself.
The first one, (A New Hope) was enjoyable enough at the time, klunky dialogue and all. But the efforts to turn it into a "franchise" have resulted in a series of mostly mediocre follow-ons, and the constant retconning has just been ridiculous. Like other mediocre franchises like "Highlander", or "Iron Man", Star Wars might be more fondly remembered had it been a one-off, like "The Matrix".

On further reflection, I'm thinking that the fopen() would probably cause an explosion that would make matter/antimatter look like Alka-Seltzer.
A Flash SWF file embedded in a MS Word file. What could possibly go wrong?

Uhhh. First... What was I going to say?
I think the AC was simply reacting to the syntax of "scientists did X in 2020".
Calm down, it's just a spill chucking error. They meant to say you could either do solar geoengineering fast or half-fast.

No. This is serious. I understand that as a work-around, Linus had to go to the park and yell at strangers.
Yeah. I just don't get the value-add here. My wife has been detecting my farts in real time for YEARS now.

Sorry, I've already copyrighted sine waves, middle C, and 3/4 time. Your fugue would infringe on my intellectual property.
I thought prophylactils were extinct.
No, I mean you have to explain every fucking thing,usually from first principles.

True. Citing papers is "doing science".

Looks like your parser failed. I said "Matrix" was a one-off. There weren't any sequels.
What wasn't clear to you, Timmy?
Yeah. That was the solitary thing that made me say "mostly mediocre". But Empire Strikes Back only works as a follow-on.

Oh, I think it is. In this era of GPU-driven machine learning, commitment == lockin. AMD is inviting people to play right down on the metal with this.

Well, Johannes Kepler (from the 1500s) springs to mind...
Corporationsare people, too, my friend. Thieving, evil, soulless people.
