Which Apollo Missions didn't happen in that room? I thought that Gemini flights were hosted somewhere else, but I could see why they'd want to practice for Apollo through the Gemini flights in that room. Definitely explains the Gemini patches on the wall. Was it retooled after Gemini? I remember hearing that NASA offered it to the Apollo 13 Movie, but that they built a set instead that was so realistic that NASA employees on an advisory role would find themselves looking for the elevator that existed at the real one on their way out. I'm glad that the control room has been well preserved.
SpaceX is being paid by NASA $1,600,000,000 to launch 12 vehicles to the International Space Station, each of which carries 2,000lbs of cargo. Total contract pays them $1,600,000,000 to carry 24,000lbs of cargo to the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle carried 28,000lbs to the International Space Station for about $400 million per launch.
We could have flown the shuttle once a year for 1/4th the cost, gotten more payload to orbit, and have gotten crew to the ISS. For 1/2 the cost, we could have rotated ISS crew every six months and taken 2x the amount of payload to the space station. We should have continued work on the Crew Return Vehicle, and we should have gotten Ares-I working and under control.
The current path that we are on is total bullshit.
I know that this is going to be an unpopular statement, and I'm sure to be moderated into oblivion for saying this, but Slashdot doesn't need a bunch of advertisements for a free micky-mouse level class from a University that is pandering for some free publicity. Those of us with experience that have been in this business long enough know what it means when someone says, "Stop. Just stop."
If you want to look at advertisements in disguise for micky-mouse schools, and cheap DIY-hacks, there are sites and social networks for that, but it is unwelcome here, and we aren't prepared to lurk back into the corners of the Internet on IRC.
This is a place where a lot of professionals reside, and we are better than being lured into junk, overpriced four-year under graduate programs that leave the participants both unemployed and in-debt. It is the duty of the users of this site to mark this garbage move as what it is, a sham.
I'd like to see more vanilla versions of this software. Open Source Software has become almost as bad as the commercial counter parts in wanting to wrap everything up as one big GUI package. I don't want a bunch of bologna to download and run to configure dual monitors if I want to use a very lightweight window manager, or setup an embedded solution such as a kiosk.
One of the original and cool ideas of open source was to allow hackers to dive into the utilities and do really cool things with them that they aren't meant to achieve. A multi monitor control system that is tied into a blob of libraries doesn't sound appealing to me. I'll take a 32KB application that has an/optional/ GUI front end over this junk any day.
As someone who is reading this from his Retina MacBook Pro, I can say that my computing experience is way beyond anything a phone could ever hope to offer.
Tell her that it's like a car. You have different models every year, but you want to keep the old ones as a reference so that you can check out the old ones if the new ones have issues.
The spacecraft left orbit earlier this month, so this is about recent analyzation of collected data, not something the spacecraft recently detected, as many might believe.
I would be royally fucked if it weren't for the summers spent educating myself on how to write software, how the economy works, and how businesses are ran. A lot of which happened through meeting people in meat space (woah!), along with hours spent in front of a computer.
Sure, the education system did a fair job of teaching me things such as mathematics, and some of the hard sciences, but we need more freedom, not more time spent sitting in a classroom listening to long lectures and reading outdated textbooks.
For the most part, K-12 is ran like a prison. You aren't allowed to socialize with the people around you unless you're breaking the rules. There is favoritism on all levels, of which I have experienced it on both the good and bad sides. If a "teacher" doesn't like you, then you can be damned if you're allowed to socialize with those that have been forced around you.
It's been over half a decade since I have set foot inside of a K-12 school as a student, and my success in business, my process of discovery, and my ability to learn would have been seriously impeded if I was forced to sit in a school and listen to lectures from "science teachers" about how astronomy is a farce, and that the space program is a hoax.
America is about Freedom. It's time to embrace it; both in business, and in education.
This is a horrible analogy. Saying that Linux is a knife is like saying that ls is a kitchen set.
GNU/Linux is the collection of kitchen utilities. The kernel would be like the oven, and all the utensils (knives included) the gnu utilities.
The application developers are the cooks, and the Linux Administrator is the dishwasher. He gets to work with all the utensils, but never touches the food.
However, there is also a hypothesis that exoplanets observed by means of dimming may just be the star experiencing a giant sun spot. Rather than this being an exoplanet being devoured by a star, it may just be a star's sunspot closing up.
After Columbia broke apart in 2003, the vision for space exploration laid out a plan for Mars. Two of the precursors before a manned landing was a large rover, which ended up being Curiosity, and the next mission being a drill mission, this one. Each step relies on the last, and so far we are right on track.
Titan is great, and will still be there in 20 years, but we can't do everything at once. Space Exploration doesn't move at the same speed as things such as memory density. We are pushing our boundaries, but doing so with calculated caution and responsibility. We don't want to do things before we're ready, otherwise we're just burning up money.
I am assuming that the application cannot access the file system unless a file is within the applications sandbox, or opened through the operating systems open file API.

is this the first car to make "Car of the Year" in a major publication that isn't even being mass produced?
I would argue that COTS is a large step in that direction.

Do the simple math:

I'm excited that it happened without any delay of any kind, and I hope that this sets the pace for their future launches!

I, too believe that it is of poor quality and taste, and that I could have done better.
I don't even want it. What's wrong with me?!
Great for mindlessly consuming garbage content? Sounds perfect for American K-12 schools.

That is because you are beating an old argument that has been put to rest to death.
If we wanted to have the same arguments day after day, we'd discuss politics on some other site.
This has been beaten and debated in a three part documentary, with a fourth sequel supposedly in the works.
I've been saying the same thing. It really sucks.

This is correct, it is not available in the US Store.
and she conducted research at Harvard?! What has this projection of perfection not done...
