Ignoring the fact that we aren't very good conductors... at 5-6 feet tall, I doubt the human body can effectively absorb a lot of this relatively very-long-wavelength radiation.
Other things might be interesting if we were good conductors. There is a 200 volt difference between our head and feet.
When I see "Computational Photography", I think of the flatcam, a button-sized wafer with a photon-sensing surface. No lens, it instead computes the image of its surroundings. Described in fictional "Michaelmas" by Algis J. Budrys.
I wonder if their elevators download music. I look forward to hearing "That's stealing!" echoing through the elevator shafts whenever someone gets on board.
Have two compartments in the time capsule. One is sealed, and the other has a slot or a door so you can add updates. Keep a copy of the digital files, and regularly write them to a recent media format.
Actually, the time capsule should be in a safety deposit box, so all you really need are two Kevlar envelopes. Tape shut the primary capsule and leave the one with the digital updates unsealed.
A month before her birthday buy a fireproof box of suitable size, transfer the envelopes into it, and seal it shut with colorful tape. Label the box to not open it before the target date. Let that box sit in plain view so she can build the memory of the gift and anticipate the opening. After the opening explain why there are ten odd objects, and that actually armed guards and sixteen inches of steel were protecting the gift. Oh.. 16 years... OK, not armed guards. Guards in powered armor with trafalgars.
Actually, they're burying edits of people who are live.
But the rule only applies to edits of living people, so somewhere there must be a server that sees dead people so it can again allow edits to people's articles.:-)

In terms of fuel, it is harder to reach the Moon because it requires more fuel than to orbit the Earth.
In terms of accuracy, it is easier to impact the Moon than to reach a specific Earth orbit because of the Moon's gravity and its large size, so aiming is a little easier.
However, if you want to impact a specific part of the Moon, then reaching Earth orbit is easier.
(For some reason people are answering as if you want to land on the Moon, not impact it.)
I hope the games will be forgetful and not lock themselves into a certain kind of play. In some kinds of games, I first run for the finish to experience the game and then crawl through the game again to discover the hidden corners. Or a visiting friend will play in a different way.
I'm sure Republicans and Libertarians are all in favor of private space taxis, whether NASA helps create the technology or others do. Having the government with a monopoly on space taxis is different from private taxis services.

First I heard of Waldo, he was in orbit. Maybe they're looking in the wrong place.
That should be: "The ELF (Earth Liberation Front) has claimed irresponsibility ..."

Does your 11-year-old child have a concealed carry permit?
I hear that they're often loaded with a salt, and frequently used in bar fights.
Australia wants to be free.
Actually, I hear that not only did it gyre, but it also did gimble. At least it did while in the wabe.
I'd like your glass road to meet my little snowplow friend.
Glass, meet steel blade. Steel blade, meet... hey, where'd he go?
500 pieces of Hawaiian lava? Well, things are more expensive there than on the mainland.

Please include proof that you've never had this problem.

That's insightful. It is wireless, but we need an app for that.
Tweeted that for you.
