Better not look too hard, you might see stars and nebulae that are more than 6000 LY away, which of course you can't if the universe is only 6000 years old.
I am from NZ A Motorway is very similar to a US Freeway, with a minimum speed (usually 70Kmh) and no cyclists, horses or other livestock allowed. There are at least 2 lanes going in each direction, and a median separating opposing traffic.
Taking the really long view, if we don't spread out into space we will become extinct the next time there is a planet wide catastrophe, whether of our own making(climate change, nuclear war) or some natural event (supervolcano, giant asteroid, gamma ray burst etc And any other research is just equivalent to deckchairs on the Titanic
I am not sure what the NIH does. I thought it stood for Not Invented Here
For a large area of the US, it was colder than normal in December People turned up the heat (burning more natural gas and using more electricity people drove their SUV's to work (instead of using a more efficient car, or walking
"Many urban planners are discussing the opposite - ban inefficient, private use vehicles from cities and provide better cycling infrastructure."
What about during winter, or don't they have that there? 2 wheeled vehicles don't go so good on ice and snow, or when its too cold for ice and snow (like -30)
Nobody is going to be doing any flying in the northern hemisphere for a long time. Remember what happened with that Icelandic volcano closing air corridors?

Yep, a 50 cal bullet between the eyes would be pretty much instantaneous
" body armor for soldiers that are stronger and lighter"
But where do we get the soldiers that are stronger and lighter?

Why do you want to breathe underwater anyway?
If you want to catch a fish you just cut a hole in the ice
"Anyway, the tank could have some N2 in it to start with so the problem could be mitigated."
You don't want to be breathing any N2 at depth. Ever heard of the bends.
They used to use a Helium mixture for deep dives, I am not sure what they do these days

A Newton was a portable computing device from a couple of decades ago. It was made by Apple
Steven Seagal had one in under siege 2

But Charter Internet and TV have been pretty reliable recently.
Fast too

"Wins all round. Except for lazy people."
I walk to work,
why not just ban bikes from the roads, since cyclists can still suffer broken legs and arms if they are run over by motor vehicles.
a mere 71,000 ft?
Blackbirds flew hiher than that over 40 year ago
Canadians have been know to come south to buy stuff eg Grand Forks and Fargo
Shouldn't they be using Martian units? I know a Martian Day is a bit longer than 24 hrs, not sure about their weeks
Thats one advantage the blind have - they can feel the black hole, but sighted people can't see it.
I just realised that could be taken the wrong way, oh well...
You put the bomb under the city (Orion style)
Ever read Footfall (Niven/Pournelle)
Alternatively you could put it on rails (inverted world by Christopher Priest)

Spindizzies were invented before thte Stargate people came up with Atlantis
Moving the Ringworld is not the problem, getting the star to go along with it might be though.
And how would you watch such a video? (all at once)
I thought they were shutting down thte Australian car plants (by 2017)
I've never heard of an Emmett plant. Can it survive a cold winter?
