The initial test was amazing, the plane literally shot up 20 feet!
Great! Now bring the rotor to a full stop and lock it in flight position, while giving the plane enough vertical speed so that the then fixed wing will carry it, and don't forgett not to drop down those 20 feet in the meantime.
If you made it that far, sooner or later you will want to land. Slow the plane enough the wing won't get dammaged when unlocking it, make the wing rotate fast enough so you get enough lift to control descend - all that before you hit the ground.

No, the problem is that when ever NASA comes up with a plan, the politicians say: "Come back in 2 months with new plans for half the cost, and we may give you half of that."
"Although we can't be certain why methane concentrations have levelled out, we think it is in response to emissions declining due to better management of the exploration and use of fossil fuels and the increasing recovery of landfill methane.
IOW more and more "waste" methane is used to win energy (and gets transformed into more "harmless" CO2).
IMHO a High School Diploma has a lower rank than Abitur or any other European "You can now go to university" diploma, but that is certainly a matter of opinion. OTOH most Americans do get it and can go to any College that takes them, and then get a PhD in some phoney art while downloading Gigz of Pr0n and playing Counterstrike non-stop - when not on Spring Break. Weren't us Germans supposed to get the easy end?
Which two events? There is now less methane in the atmosphere than expected (IOW not more than before). Scientists don't know why. What is the other event?
[...]a bunch of countries who don't really like each other very much getting together to prevent from becoming financially irrelevant as the size of the superstate increases.
And they also just broke a speed record on Nov. 12th. Only 501 kph, but on a "real" track soon to be opened for public transport, and with a train passing in the opposite direction at 430 kph.
Yeah exactly. If all chances were fair, nobody would wage war because they couldn't win. The Us doesn't want that, because they want to wage wars and win them.
Galileo is analagous to a contractor who sells ultra-modern naval cruisers to anyone willing to pay for them. In a war, everybody would be looking to blow them up. Actually, even in peace there would be a large effort to control their activities. Big countries spend a lot of money to get a technological advantage in war - selling products to anyone willing to pay for them levels the playing field.
And the USA is analagous to a monopolistic software corporation that keeps bitching and moaning and trying to coerce governments about the use of a certain Open Source OS.
1. We don't actually know that the battery was dead, or if they just deep-decharged it, and didn't have the firmware-update that handles that without an easy reset.
2. The brothers still bought a brand spanking new iPod despite the tiny dirty secret.
"The plug" wasn't to "the guy's" batteries, but for Apple's batteries that you say don't exist. And the two brothers knew about 3rd party batteries, because they broke their iPod installing one. And then they bought a new one, despite the dirty little secret - couldn't have been that bad a secret, just a little dirty. And then they made the movie.
You are absolutely right. According to the article (does anybody RTFA?), the nefarious hook into AOL was "to connect the computer's Internet Protocol address, a number that identifies a computer on the Internet, to Krastof's home address through his AOL account". IOW, they asked AOL "Who used this IP address at this time?" Whoooh, scary stuff. Using an IP address and a date as an GUID. Next thing they'll be able to trace back my phone calls.

On Windows this feature is called the Start Menu.
With a president like that, who needs enemies?

Yeah, but Russians were first in space, so you have to pay a toll each time you pass space. That could spoil your plan.

Oy. They translated the name Herrmann and the abrev. TU. DO of course stands for Dechnical Ooniversity

Sounds like the US of A.
That's why the actual SI unit for speed is meters per second.

Errm. War of Secession? Segregation and race riots?
Gee, you are talking about Hitler, aren't you?

And the walkman is nothing but a dictaphone without the microphone (innovatively re-added later).
And who IYHO would be that manufacturer? Apple? Do you buy Nomad AAs? Stupid flamebaiter indeed.
Just because it's new doesn't mean it got rid of that stupid A20-gate. Also something introduced 1984.

But he used his own AOL account.
