    No limited definition. It was fully self guided as was the V1. Technically it is not difficult, especially if one were to make it with modern day off the shelf components.

    Technically, once you break 140 years you'll live indefinitely. Or kill yourself out of boredom.

    I don't know, that's why I asked. Others have asked the same an similar questions. I can't find the answer. www.faa.gov/news/updates/media/20151213_IFR.pdf

    You get all the privileges of being in the uber union, but you never have to do anything. You could probably not even own a car and profit from this somehow.

    I may be worthless, but I don't care. Why should I? I have a nice house, good friends and freedom to travel around the world whenever I want.

    Haha. That's exactly what my girlfriend used to tell me. She's a teacher and experienced it first hand. Poor immigrants come, live 5 families to a room, work hard, start a business, make a better life. Have kids who look around wondering why they have to work and complain about not having Porches then join a gang and threaten to turn in parents to immigration if forced to do homework.

    Can you grow crops on the top of Mt Everest, because life on the surface of Mars is equivalent to life on Earth 16miles above above the top of Everest?

  14. Re:This is so ridiculous on Mars Colonies and Class Warfare (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not gravity, O2 or any of the other things that people list as hindrances to colonization. It's lack of anything economically remotely viable. People colonized different places on Earth to gain economically wanted resources. As it is, as the people on Earth rapidly chase a virtual life, there is less and less physical materials that they'll want once basic needs are met and the interactive vr holodeck is available to everyone.
    Why mine an asteroid, or dig it out of the ground for that matter if you can have everything that you want and not be able to tell the difference between VR and RR.

    Also from the FAQ

    Q. What about tethered drones?
    A. Both tethered and untethered UAS must be registered.

  18. Re:Model Airplanes/Rockets on FAA: Small Drones Must Be Registered By February (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1
    From the website http://www.faa.gov/uas/registr...

    Q: Someone intent on harm will not register a drone, so doesn't this requirement just penalize responsible people who are excited about UAS?

    A: Registration also enables us to educate UAS owners on safe operations.

  19. I was working on self driving cars in university back in the 90's. The advisor to our group held the position that technically it was not a huge challenge, but legally it would be and that self driving cars would not show up first in the US. His guess was Asia or Germany.

    The waiver, IIRC, is for a particular time slot and location, not per model. I used to fly HPR in college.

    So according to your definitions a kite, being an remotely controlled UAS, is a drone.
