    bean counters can be swayed by certain arguments that now can be made for some of the AMD chips. money talks, and I think we'll be seeing more AMD in the corporate space

    Even with the impressive high number of frequency response there is distortion, another issue.

  4. but they'll also be killing whale species that are smart and have spindle cells (believed to have role in developing advanced intelligence compared to other animals) in brain that only humans, great apes and elephants do.

    In other words, we already protect land mammals (primates) believed to have a high capacity for self-awareness and suffering... shouldn't whales get the same consideration?

    use of resources irrelevant, stupid way to argue against the more than ten times ISP of thermal nuclear vs. chemical. They have the power to do what chemical cannot

    Musks rockets are useless for Mars colony.

    Yes nuclear thermal rocket engines were built and tested in the 1960s and early 1970s.

    However I did say nothing has been done with them, meaning never carried into space and used, no R&D or tests are being done in the present.

    I only mention it as realistic way of getting to Mars, unlike the people who think Musk's or anyone else's chemical rockets are viable means of establishing Mars colony.

    You should stay silent since you are ignorant of the subject.

    No, the "falcon heavy" is a bottle rocket next to the Saturn V... and a colony would need many, many times the 17 ton payload of a falcon. And a manned mission much more performance to avoid the long stay in hard radiation in space. Fission powered rocket is real tech that could be used to solve the problem... but nothing has been done as of now.

    Haha no, the amount of gear and supplies would require heavy lifting rockets and propulsion a couple orders of magnitude bigger than what we have now, and yes that's doing a dozen or more missions. Plus several other problems needing a solution that doesn't yet exist. The rough estimate for a small Mars colony is 50 years to more than a century away, deal with it

    The "developed country lifestyle" is of course very sustainable, keeping it so is an engineering problem with known solutions. We have essentially infinite energy supply on this earth, an ocean full of water, resources that magically DON'T leave the planet after use, 20+ miles of the earth's crust for "rare earths" we've barely scratched, helium that mostly is just vented from natural gas wells instead of being captured at all, etc.

    In short, the chicken-little flailing of arms and wailing is just silly.

    I never said to ignore "the problem". You keep assuming and asserting things that are false. This shows a common mindset among self-imagined "greenies" that have no conception of reality. Your world view can't work, won't work in reality.
