That really would be included in the notion of a "dyson sphere", not a literal solid sphere but many many orbiting things that effectively catch most the energy of the system's star
storage of spent fuel is also done in pools with borated water of course. The answer to Bruce's question is that his parent wasn't doing his job. The danger to Bruce even had he swam & dived ten foot deep in the pool was zero (divers even go into flooded cavity with reactor head open during refueling). He should be thankful he got to see the pretty blue glow with complete safety.
Still wimpy compared to Technocrat, Bruce, you don't allow comments there. You want a site with traffic again you'll have to open the floodgates of hell. --Ralph
A PWR fuel assembly weighs about 1400 lbs, a BWR one about 360 to 700 lbs. (several standard sizes). The fuel pellets are inside zircaloy rods. no kid is going to dive down that deep and yank anything.
you are the one in need of more physics classes, you are linking a SR page (inertial reference frames only, changing relativistic mass to change velocity only) and this drive is outside the realm of SR, it is a GR engine. your SR arguments are meaningless.
the problem is neurotic psychological marshmallows like you take away liberty from normal people. go hole up in a compound somewhere, the rest of us want to live.
54 candidates in habitable zone, at least five roughly earth-sized (but note even gas giant in habitable zone is significant because it might have habitable moon)
one of the definitions of "ship" include vessels for transport through air or outer space. The word comes from the old German scipfÄ, a cup. So the idea is closer to one of container.
the leading people (for dev, architecture, ops) I've met over the years had technical experience or degrees, but rarely CS. Many engineering and hard science degrees, even some mathematics degrees. Lots of Navy techs(sonar, radar, weapons systems)/navy nuke engineers too for some strange reason.
you just described the essence of slackware. normal IT people don't want to waste time fucking around with things that are already properly set up to GET WORK DONE in a sane distribution
MINIX was and is used in many computer science curriculums. There are millions of people over the last 24+ years who learned about operating systems with the help of Minix. You might even have heard of a guy named Linus who used MINIX as scaffolding and teaching tool to write his own kernel.
what happens to the stats when we throw out the parasites and thieves who make the working part of society pay their way? Same thing as happens to the U.S. violent crime rate stats.....
are you kidding, those bony runway models look very bad naked. They would look even worse without their fake boobs. Those are not porn starlet material.
money is made in software through support. the software can be given away and if a good product the support contracts will be bought. Microsoft makes money this way, Redhat makes money this way. Get a clue.
wrong. pro-space includes manned and unmanned space mission. Even if we confine discussion to manned space, the benefits to integrated circuits of the manned space program are used by all the unmanned space applications such as satellite.
And that vacuum tube SAGE computer is yet another thing obsoleted by discrete solid state computers, which were obsoleted by the integrated circuit based ones which had enormous benefit from manned space program, stupid of you to bring that dinosaur up.
that's just the point, the SAGE was obsoleted in purpose by ICBMs, and in architecture by transistors. it's a silly thing to bring up to counter argument that space program did nothing for such systems

why not? spent fuel pool has 30 feet of water over the tops of the fuel assemblies. you'd just get normal background radiation standing over one.

no, asians take it to the next level. diamond is order of magnitude cheaper than asian dowry

lighten up, Francis. Quit being a dill-hole and quit belabouring the obvious.
