No, that's an exact quote. It was part of a larger statement (I don't remember all of it) where he said something like a 90% of making it to the moon. And don't forget, these were guestimates, not hard statistics.
The space station was an afterthought for things that could be done with leftover and unused Apollo hardware.
The whole point of Apollo was as a realization of Kennedy's challenge of landing on the moon, not some idealistic moon research expedition. Early astronauts were prohibited by NASA from talking with scientists lest it give them ideas that might endanger the mission. The Apollo trips were extremely dangerous. Armstrong said they only had a 50% chance of returning to Earth alive. Support or Apollo was tenuous at best and loss of life was expected to be ruinous for NASA.
Four of the species have been identified as "endangered" or "critically endangered" with another two being classed as "vulnerable". Minke whales are rated as least concerned.
you're being pessimistic with your earth figures and optimistic with your space figures
Yes I was being conservative and it still shows that space solar is not economically competitive with ground based.
That aside, Sun-tracking systems are not economically competitive with fixed mounts.
Theoretical maximum increase by 41% has to be less expensive than adding 41% more panels. Not even close.
They collect (1366/1006)*(24/6) times more energy (5.46x). To be economically viable, hey can't be more than 5.46x more than ground based systems that are currently under $1/watt, so you have to put a system in place for about $4-5wp. Good luck.
The average balance of outstanding student loan debt for households with some debt was $25,700. The median debt was $13,000, and seventy-five percent of borrowers had less than $29,000. These burdens are relatively modest given the annual earnings of these households. The average annual wage earnings among this population was $71,700.
I think a course in physics would be even more valuable. Even on supposedly higher educated sites such as this one, most people fail at anything physics that doesn't have an associated tv program. Eg, know how a black hole works, but don't know the difference between power and energy.
I'd been working for 20 years before someone asked to see my college diploma. All previous jobs only asked for references from prior employers...and my first job I'd just continued working at my internship after graduating. When I got rehired after graduation, the conversation went something like this:
HR: OK, we have all the paperwork done. I see you never graduated.
Me: Yes, I have a degree in electrical engineering
HR: OK, that me we can offer you more money
Me: OK
I wouldn't have risked it, but I'm confident that I could have gone an entire career without graduating from college (being in college was a requirement to get some internships).
In fact, many people who started out working internships never returned to complete their degree.
I've had half a dozen jobs as an engineer and the majority of the work, I could have done with my high school degree and stuff I'd taught myself. I've also had several high level positions in software, but have never taken a software class. Interestingly, one of my jobs was with a bunch of software people, but I was the only one who knew things like.bss and wimg bits and how caching and paging works or fixed and floating point maths (all self taught).

What's the point of re-registering? I have a dozen planes that are over 30 years old.
The original fly-by-wire.
Slashdot makes fun of people who don't believe the US went to the moon (as reported by the government).
Max Headroom, 1984
That was clearly an exaggeration.

The DE is the Fermi Problem.

What are the right experiments?

They also call for making it worse.
Like farm subsidies?
collect more energy than those on Earth

Fiber optics are better for communication.
There's no money to be made
and little scientific knowledge to be gained.
Most people don't buy a new TV every 2-3 years yet .
This was he thing that nerds used to be into before the comic book crowd took over and everyone with a batman hood was a nerd.

There was a discussion on slashdot about this in 1999. Interesting the comment quality between then and now.

What did I just watch, or not watch? It was a bunch of non coherent images in a random order.
