Distance has nothing to do with it. All that travel is completely passive, barring the odd correction burn. You need energy to establish an orbit but not to maintain one. Mars could be right next to the moon or out past the orbit of Jupiter and it would be exactly as hard.
So basically - we designed a method to make an amoeba respond in the way we wanted, then lo and behold, the amoeba - when "coaxed" by our model, responded the way we wanted... It's a miracle I tell you.
A guy goes into a building every day at lunchtime and eats a sandwich, then leaves. One day there is a murder in the building. Obviously the guy is responsible...
I'm the landlord. And yes the cost is included in the rent. Just like the cost for advertising and fuel is baked into the price of your cereal. What are you trying to say? I was merely pointing out to AC that renting isn't just sitting back and collecting checks. It's a business like any other, with all sorts of problems from people who don't pay to houses that don't rent to blocked toilets.
And guess who has to replace the leaky roof or fix the plug that stopped working or replace the floor because they did god knows what to it and you'll never be able to rent it again like that...
It's not all about collecting money. It's a business like any other - there is revenue and there are expenses.
And if no one is getting hired and therefore earning money - where are they supposed to get the money to "consume" what you're making? You cannot cut labor completely out of the cycle. It is a vital part.
I'm a doctor outside the US. I considered going to the US, I even passed the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam). But all the paperwork and "guidelines" from payers who don't necessarily have the patient's best interest at heart but rather their bottom line - put me off. I'd rather stay in this small country. I earn less but I have a great deal more freedom as to how to treat my patients - and a much lower risk of predatory lawsuits too.
Eliminate poverty by putting people out of work? If I don't have to pay wages to workers because I have robots, who is going to have money to buy my products?
Prices are sticky to the upside. Absolutely no capitalist is thinking "Oh I want to get robots in so that I can decrease prices and pass the savings on to the consumer". No, it's "I want to get robots so that I can increase my profits".
Wages rose almost across the board after the French Revolution.
And yet poverty still existed in post revolutionary France. The glorious Soviet revolution also failed to cure poverty in the USSR worker's paradise. Discuss.

I could, of course, personally lookup the density of sugar or some historical fac or whatever when my daughter needs help
Or you could do what my dad did, and tell me to look it up.
You're the one making the extraordinary claim
Corporations lie. There's nothing extraordinary about that - it's rather ordinary and even expected behavior nowadays.
And make sure your compiler doesn't add back doors into your binaries.
Neither can you.
I don't think your Trump will work too well after you plug him in.
Marketing IS lying.
It's more difficult (and expensive obviously) to land on a foreign planet than on Earth.
Are you sure? Earth has one hell of an atmosphere to deal with. As for expense, most of that is fuel cost and rocket engines.

I have to be quick, I have to be focused if I want to have my free Friday.
So basically a quota system. Next comes the part where your boss steadily increases the quota, making sure you NEVER get your free Friday.

Nope, I'm sure you're masturbating. If you weren't masturbating the door would be open.
Unless the rich are extremely stupid
Having spoken to quite a few rich people, I'm not sure this is not the case. Wealth != brains.
and chance of not starving.
Not starving by starving.
Wow, such hard work, I'm beat.

And the US population has grown from 304 million to 328 million in the last 10 years. You were saying?
it could eliminate poverty
Eliminate poverty by putting people out of work? If I don't have to pay wages to workers because I have robots, who is going to have money to buy my products?
Oh man, I loved that smell! I used to hand out in my schools admin office just to catch whiffs of it :)
Prices are sticky to the upside. Absolutely no capitalist is thinking "Oh I want to get robots in so that I can decrease prices and pass the savings on to the consumer". No, it's "I want to get robots so that I can increase my profits".
What's the real difference between an automated hamburger maker and a sandwich vending machine?
A human had to make the sandwich and stick it in the vending machine. Presumably they got paid to do this.

and unless you've got something to actually hide, why are you going to such trouble to hide nothing?
You must be masturbating every time you close the bathroom door. If you're not masturbating, why do you close the door?
