Actually, that is my private troll. He is windblown and works for ULA. Sadly, he is an upset asshole because SpaceX is absolutely DESTROYING ULA. I live in this area and know a few. Most of the ones that I know have moved on to BO and SpaceX.
I suspect that nobody wants to take him.
It is already started. SpaceX is building rockets that are cheaper than China's to launch (and that is with China's money manipulation).
In addition, we have Blue Origin which will have cheap orbital rockets by 2020.
Then we have Bigelow Aerospace, that is making for space stations, and even lunar/mars bases to be cheap.
Finally, NASA is hard at work helping build up a number of companies that will want to go to the moon around 2020. And Spacex will be going around 2027 to Mars. Chances are, that SpaceX's BFR will be used to go to the moon as well since we are talking 150-250 tonnes into orbit around 2020, and for a costs of less than 500M. That will be hard to ignore.
I have read it. You should realize that CONgress is the Senate AND the house.
When it is just 1 of them, then it is just 1 of them. IOW, The Senate is NOT CONgress. Any more than you are the HUMAN RACE. You are a part of the human race.
Last time I check, the govs job was to protect America. That is why we have a MILITARY. In addition, to having a military, CONgres and the president, should do as much as possible to AVOID war. And our importing energy leads us to go to all sorts of wars.
So yeah, they ARE supposed to spend money WISELY. And this bill sounds like it, though I am still looking into the nuke stuff that we need.
Seriously, the Senate tends to put partisanship aside. At least for now.
OTOH, the house does not. And that is why this bill was passed by the senate and not the house.
It seems like the Molten Salt reactors can take a number of different elements.
I just wonder if we can burn up some of these liquid wastes, rather than having them sit around making a mess.
THis is something that Mark Whittington or some other far right wing nut job, would normally submit and then claim that Obama had stopped the footage so that he could go cut backdoor deals with aliens.
Based on top 10, China has the most with over 3000 trackable items, Russia has 1600, while America has 1200. But, I would bet that if we looked at total national numbers, most likely #1 would be Russia followed by China, America, and then Europe.
Quite the difference though. China's sat was destroyed at 530 miles up, and created over 2000 trackable sized items ( with more than 150,000 debris item). Assuming no cleanup by China, then in 100 years there will still be debris. OTOH, solwind was shot at 326 miles up, and created 285 trackable parts. All of that was gone by 2008.
Quite the difference.
Also if you think that iss put up shielding due to solwnd, then you are kidding yourself. Plenty of other junk up there.
Re-read what I said.
I said that you could not register any more ICE vehicles. IOW, you still continue with what you have. THe only ones that would be confiscated would be those that were illegal in the first place. And yes, when you live in a state, your car is supposed to be registered/licensed there. So the ONLY ones that would object, are the criminals.
Right. So, what happens if CA decides to block such vehicles? Perhaps they could limit vehicles to commercial vehicles and of a set size.
Or they could limit those to be series hybrids ONLY. By making them a series hybrid, it will mean that in time, when batteries come down in price and up in energy, that the lower-end commercial vehicles will switch as well.
Seriously, California is considered one of the largest buyers of cars. In fact, they are MUCH bigger than the netherlands.
So, what would happen if CA was to say that no more ICE vehicles to be sold OR imported into California starting in 2025?
And if you are caught living in CA with an ICE vehicle, then said vehicle will be confiscated and you serve time.
I suspect that CA is big enough that car makers will have little choice but to join in on making viable vehicles. And if other nations join in, that just forces everything over faster.
Hey bozo.
I used to be a linux kernel and kde developer. Why have I not been one for the last 6 years? Because I am fighting vertigo and memory loss. With the memory loss, if I was exposed to it for the first time after 6 years ago, and have not seen it for another 6 months, then it is 'erased'. Not really. It just takes hours, days, and even WEEKS to pull that info up.
And we DESPERATELY need fission. With Gen IV reactors, we can burn up the vast majority of the 'nuke waste', and do it SAFELY.
this may be the first time done as a joke. The others were likely intended for ISIS, or AQ, or Taliban, or North Korea, etc. . IOW, we have plenty of enemies that work in America and send home. Just like Europe and any other free nation.
wow. Somebody pissed on your wheatys
Look, I DID google for it. LOADS of different meanings. So, I have absolutely NO idea of what MGI is. I have never seen that Abbreviation outside of software, and I doubt that you want ppl to think about that.
Secondly, They could do a shark tank and look for ideas and then manufacture them LOCALLY, rather than sending them to factories in China, like the sharks do. All in all, it makes good sense for Amazon and others to do that.
Now, as to you, it is obvious that you expect the gov to take care of you. Please give me a fucking break. You far lefties never think long-term. You fight against nuclear power as well as geo-thermal. Then you insult somebody who ask legitimate questions. But, if you do not have honest answers, or perhaps you are like the far right and just copied crap that you know NOTHING about, then skip answering. I will go on assuming that you are rude and stupid.
And as to competing for business, American private, Russian gov owned, european gov owned , and Japan gov ownef all compete for american and european private SATs. However, when it comes to launching gov owned, then each nation, group uses their own. In addition, Russian and Japanese gov require their companies to use their own launch systems.
So in what way is America not competitive?
But, as to Amazon, they do want to automate and personally, I agree with them. Basically, they are automating the low-end jobs. However, there are plenty of other low-end jobs that Amazon can create, and even encourage. These companies would do well to actually encourage new ideas and more companies to be made.

No, but I can show you a rising moon.

huh. Let me guess. You are a political 'science', business or liberal arts background. Yes?
It remains to be seen if the house will put America first and back something similar.
Seriously, the Senate tends to put partisanship aside. At least for now.
OTOH, the house does not. And that is why this bill was passed by the senate and not the house.
Really? Why did we get the pointy end of the stick? What about this is screwing us?
Seriously, we need to get these companies going on building small reactors that can burn up nuke waste, and give cheap SAFE energy.
It seems like the Molten Salt reactors can take a number of different elements.

Look at the numbers. It is China, then Russia, then America. Of course that is only from top 10.
Based on top 10, China has the most with over 3000 trackable items, Russia has 1600, while America has 1200. But, I would bet that if we looked at total national numbers, most likely #1 would be Russia followed by China, America, and then Europe.

Totally agree. BUT, they can not afford to take chances.

Seriously, focus on getting them jobs and moved back into society.
And if they are not interested in doing that, then send them elsewhere, like Texas.
