The idea of colonizing other planets (or moons) is so that if something happens to earth , whether our fault (global warming, nuclear war) or a natural event (another large asteroid impact or supervolcano ) , mankind can still survive elsewhere.
We will eventually have to move out of this solar system.
If you start out at 25,000 mph you will escape earths gravity, but you will use up most of that velocity in doing so. I think low orbit speed is about 17,000 MPH and from there you have to accelerate with whatever fuel you have carried with you.
And then of course slow down when you reach the moon. Sorry theres no atmosphere to use as a brake.
I think the apollo missions had 4 day transit times, you're not going to do much better than that with chemical rockets.

Dud he add a warp drive or hyperdrive or some other FTL method?
Its not a starship until it can get to another star system
Sam Waterston was one of the astronauts
Hal Holbrook was the bad guy in charge of NASA
It would be more useful if they added a cupholder, a kitchen sink, and a toilet than the extra cameras
You are missing the point.

With this stuff you could make a really hot solar oven.
But what are you going to cook in it?
How do you get a mirror that big into geostationary orbit?
"2-way wireless charging"So in addition to being able to charge you phone from your car, you can also charge up your cars battery from your phone.
While this sounds like a good feature in the winter especially, the capacity 4,200 mAh won't make a lot of difference in trying to start you car
I already have a Kindle Fire 7"
Its a tablet that you can put in your pocket
And a lot cheaper

I'm. waiting until Windows Enterprise reaches version 1701E
The Vikings were here before the Spanish and Italians
I guess you got an F in astrophysics

Obviously this is a RED ALERT not an amber one
(cue TOS sound fx)
Of course the sirens will be going off at 2pm eastern anyway, its the first wednesday of the month.

2pm EDT (1pm CDT) is sleep time for me - I work nights
With a perihelion of 80, and an aphelion of 2300, Goblin is not a planet, its a comet.
I am sure that Marie Curie's Nobel Prize was in Chemistry.
I don't need a watch to tell me its FALL.

I can see the point of autonomous taxis, but in larger public transport (buses, trams, trains) the cost of the drivers wages is not that significant.
