I know it's Streisand effect and fight the power, but I think in this case reposting the joke is just as tasteless as making it in the first place. We could argue about the story and the effects of censorship without that knowledge just fine. But I guess the modders here disagree with me.
The Apollo15 crew covered more ground and did managed to make far more observations in 3 days than Spirit could in 5 years. Humans are still much more efficient explorers than robots, provided we can get them to their destination.
Even if we could build a large centrifuge in Earth orbit, we couldn't send it to Mars. In space, every kilo counts, and a centrifugal station just for operations is a huge overkill. Also, we will never have a sustainable human population in space for the simple reason that it's empty. Any population in space would have to rely on outside supplies of air, water, food etc.
If you are religious, you should be prohibited from serving in public office. Further, you should have a guardian assigned to look after your affairs
Not sure what your definition of totalitarianism is but this pretty much fits mine. And if you call blind belief if communism a religion, then blind belief in that all the suffering in the world is caused by faith is also one.
For a country in constant fear of terrorists hijacking their planes you take it pretty lightly when someone actually tries to make airplanes fall. Three is a very light sentence, they should make an example of those that get caught.
Curiously, the Big Bang theory was often attacked for being "religious", that is stating that the Universe didn't always exist but was created a finite time ago.
Interesting invention, but I'm wondering if it's possible to miniatrize the technology into something other than a vest. It should look like sock, just much smaller...
Well one reason for the gas taxes here is that we can manipulate them to evade sudden spikes such as this. The market is good at adapting to high prices when they change smooth enough.
For some strange reason, nicotine addiction is viewed in society as acceptable. If someone would stop working every few hours and go out for a drink they would be called an alcoholic and fired quickly. Yet when others take 'smoke breaks' with the same frequency noone seems to care. It's not a problem when you smoke every now and then (at least it's not my problem), but if you can't survive without nicotine for 8 hours that's a serious addiction.
Satellites have their own thrusters for orbital correction maneouvers. They would have to bring more fuel with them, but it's still better than getting hit by space junk.

AFAIK in the American legal system there is no upper limit on damages so everyone claims a number close to infinity at first.
In Opera you can use a custom css file with !important declarations to modify the appearance of certain elements (like links) on every page.
The fact that the rocket had enough redundancy built in doesn't mean that the cause of the failure should not be investigated.
There's a slight difference between 40km and 400km of falling.
You got it backwards, they claimed saucer sightings to cover up experimental aircraft crashes.
That's what they want you to think!
Do we really want to encourage kids to write non-standards-compliant code?

The police couldn't find the guy, so they made some something up not to go home empty handed.

I guess tastes differ, I find it a well-written and nicely built up troll. Definitely better than 'first post' or 'ur all faggots'.

So what does quantum mechanics have to do with evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory?
Yeah, just look how well it worked for North Korea!

The gel holding the heatsink can loose if warmed up too much.
The IT industry is divided, while the movie and music industries form a strong cartel.

I've seen some coffee addicts as well, but this conversation is not about them.

I don't they use this directly, rather as a method to improve their existing algorithms.
