The acceleration is an artillery piece runs to the thousands of Gs. Artillery shells are full of explosives, electronics, and machinery. This gun should be able to handle pretty much all of the consumables and many of the parts and materials needed by the space station.

Nonsense. Guns have been firing projectiles filled with explosives for centuries. The US Army has had shells filled not only with explosives but optics, electronics, and actuators for terminal guidance for dacades. In WWII they had anti-aircraft guns that fired shells with vacuum tube proximity detonators in them. In WWI they used shells with self-winding mechanical timers. Fuel would be easy.
I said that they were economic small potatoes, not that they were political small potatoes. However, their political clout stems mostly from the fact that no siginificant number of voters actually care at all about the issues.
No, he really is worried, and has reason to be. He is obsolete and knows it. However, none of the rest of us have any reason to care. NewsCorp is too small for its bankruptcy to have significant financial impact on anyone other than its shareholders and creditors and no one else would miss it.
Maybe Google will buy it from the bankruptcy court. Might be some bits and pieces they could use.
Except perhaps for some of the reporters there to cover the event. Publishers create nothing. They merely manufacture and distribute. There used to be a need for the manufacture and distribution of those ink-stained pieces of paper known as newspapers. That technology is obsolete. So is Mr. Murdoch.

But the FCC exists to allocate the "scarce public resource" of spectrum. Your proposal weakens it.
And that's what they should prefer, but they will build more infrastructure when it becomes necessary in order to add more customers and profitable to do so.

Perhaps on your planet, but here in the USA the prosecution must prove criminal intent.
But I suppose you wouldn't mind going to prison because someone joe-jobbed you.

It saves a great deal of fuel by getting the rocket needed to achieve the remaining velocity going 3km/sec and above the atmosphere.
> project Euler got some really interesting problems.
I think that to this guy (as to 99% of the human race) "interesting problem" is an oxymoron.
Which, given that artillery shells exceed 2000g and are full of explosives, electronics, and machinery, should be easy.

Most people don't. So what?

So what? The entire entertainment industry is economic small potatoes.
There is no irony. Men like Murdoch have no ideology.

Why? They are doing fine just ignoring his rants. It isn't as though he actually matters.
What, besides lowering the temperature, can be done to increase the phase coherence length?

Which is the best you can hope for from government.

Go right ahead. Don't hold back.

You can't build more spectrum.
I think that the regulatory agencies are the primary barrier to UWB. It threatens their power.
