Reagan also started the "no more government" hysteria as we'll as a policy of tax cuts for the rich and corps and massive government deficits. How the hell that qualifies as economic policy beats me.
As was Pascal. Probably because managers only took one programming course and so t was the only thing they felt comfortable with managing. Just wait the push for "everybody must learn to code" will produce a drive to use a teaching language such as Blocky. I can just see the conversation:
Tech lead: And so we're looking for a mixed Java/Node development team to push out the App.
Manager: Why? There so difficult to use, why not use Blocky it's easier. Besides everyone knows Blocky they taught it in grade school.
Tech Lead: It's easy for some problems but totally unsuited for our application
Manager: Programmers are smart you can make it work. Besides I read about a WebBlocky project the other day on Slashdot the other day.
Tech: I saw that too it's in version 0.1.0 and if you read the guy's CV he has never had any training or experience in language design. He started it because, and I qoute, "It's kewl and 7337 and Java and Pythone are crufty and not web scale". He even named programming features based on female genitalia.
Manager: We made the decision a week ago while you were having your teeth cleaned. That'll just attract more programmers and I am the manager so figure it out.
"I'm not responsible" (this is where I rant and rave like a lunatic) I wish Americans would grow up. They are a bunch of children who are irresponsible, spoiled, pandered to, expect everything handed to them, do not understand basic finance, lazy, and greedy. This is coming from an American who sees this everyday and is disgusted. Instead of fixing the problem you will see companies and lawyers standing around pointing fingers. (end of rant)
"or he's just bored with the various employment he's had over the years and looking to something that superficially interests him"
I bet it's boredom. Most of what I do is just monkey coding boiler plate. Boring as hell. Management doesn't care about how things could be improved as long as the insane feature delivery schedule is met and I feel constantly working under my potential.
Poster is bored and wants to try something different.

The coal industry, natural gas industry, oil industry, big agriculture, real estate agents who sell ocean front properties or places where hurricanes are common, etc.
Because all contributors were vetted and the information was cross referenced to actual research. If you thought there was an error you could chase it down.
As I pointed out else where Pu-238 is toxic and the waste products and chemicals used in its manufacture are toxic. The waste will doubtless be stored on site and ORNL is built on karst.
Ummm yeah. But food for thought is that many or the materials used in the manufacture and the waste products it produces are toxic or poisonous, and ORNL is built on top of karst. If you live in the area, don't drink the water. Or eat anything that grows in it.
What happens if the chiller break breakdown? do you have a way to take the racks down gracefully if the chillers fail? And why water and not CFC based? Since CFCs are not conductive it would seem to be a safer choice. BTW are you using tap water or de-ionized water?
"3) "We" know how to send cameras on wheels. Sending people is the subject, not rovers."
Just a quick correction. The question is setting up a fully functional self-sustaining environment requiring no physical intervention from Earth. It must support a viable human population and all necessary plants and animals for the long term.

"Wealth inequality has narrowed under capitalism as well "
When capitalism is properly regulated.
I think debt is slavery.

And no Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now that you've (pl.) posted this HR will be requiring it.
"If we could build an accelerator that could reach the Planck scale"
That's a big if. And until testable it is not science.
The coal industry, natural gas industry, oil industry, big agriculture, real estate agents who sell ocean front properties or places where hurricanes are common, etc.
Once exposed it was corrected. Unlike the the Koch brothers shills.
Call me when there is an experiment to back it up. Otherwise it is just speculation.
But also wind erosion freeing metals from rock out cropping. So who the hell knows.
CS 101. The only course usually taken by Business Majors, Engineers, etc. The people not on a CS major track.

If you are renting it is not your property.

Not on a routine daily basis. Rovers are the "Hello World" of space colonization. Really simplistic "first stabs" ad a huge complex problem.
Or buy a nation. Or create a sea habitat, etc.
