Large nuclear does take time. If using small reactors that are the same size as the majority of our coal plants (100 mw), these would fast and safe to install.
Seriously, the GOP is working to kill off private space, esp. SpaceX. The argument is that they do not want to spend.5B on private space, BUT, are happy to send several billions to Putin's space program instead.
Mark, why are you not writing about this? The GOP are traitors in this esp. since they want to kill private space, and force the money over to their communist style SLS.
First off, we treat companies as individuals. As such, the company should be punished. That means either denying sales in locations where they cheated, or simply remove all profits for next 10 years. But when we allow companies to pay politicians, etc, then it is obvious that we must go much further on punishment.
Uh no.
First off, when VW makes the change, it wil not change the mileage. What it WILL drop the performance. The standards are fine (if not tight enough), What is wrong is that VW and these car companies simply have no morals esp. since they are the ones pushing for tighter regulations.
The fact that this happened again shows that the fine was not enough. Need to block VW and subsidiaries from selling in America for a decade, or hit them so that it costs them 5-10 years in profits. Also, all those involved in this scandel need prison time.
OK, so you want science. Let me ask you a dumb question. Do you really think that science can continue with launches that costs 1B or more? How about launches that costs 250-300 million or more? Because that is how much we have been spending for first, the shuttle, and now Atlas and Delta. These are EXPENSIVE.
However, in the interest of human work, SpaceX now has launch below 100 Million. If he gets reuse going, then it will be less than 50M. Likewise, SpaceX is working on a human launcher. This will carry 7 humans to the ISS for less than what it costs us to send 2 ppl via Russia. BUT, SpaceX is looking to land the dragon on earth and then create a lander for Mars and the moon from this. By 2018, SpaceX is looking to send up red dragon to mars and have it land with several tonnes worth of equipment. They will use launch vehicles designed for humans to put 2-5 tonnes of cargo on Mars. And the mission costs? Less than 300 Million.
So, while you are so cock sure of your BS, here is private space, that will do more science on Mars within 6 years, then we have done for the last 20 years. And it will costs less than what we paid before. So, the difference between you and me, is that I WANT science, but I am bright enough to realize that we need to get the costs down. That is also why ppl like Neil Tyson and stephen hawkings support human launches, along with cheap science. And to be fair, I will take THEIR word over yours since it is obvious that you are not capable of intelligent thought.
neither of these political groups are scientific.
The GOP refuse to accept the overwhelming data about AGW, let alone Evolution, Abortion, etc.
But, then you have the dems that refuse to acknowledge that AGW will require shutting down coal QUICKLY, and AE is NOT capable of replacing coal in time. IOW, we NEED something else, which is gen IV nukes. MSTR have been proven to be safe. Yet, the dems fight nukes. In addition, they scream about America, but ignore China. China's emission are far far higher than the ENTIRE WEST.
Oh, I agree with most of what you are saying.
My only issue is that until the pitch,yaw and roll of the barge is controlled, they will not be able to land a pendulum on that moving barge.
uh, no. Water makes a great shield for radation. In particular, when things like lead is used, it actually causes a great deal of scatter. Water does not. In addition, water is required for life so it will already be there. Just need to add more.
market price. Good point in quoting it. SpaceX is promising that they can launch 7 for 140 million of 20 million / seat.
Sadly, NASA is looking to only send up 4 at a time, which makes it somewhat expensive, though much less than Russia's current BS.
As to BA, if SpaceX can launch BEAM this year, then BA will likely start building their space station as soon as one of the human launchers is approved by NASA.
Do not count on SpaceX being successful with their landing. Right now, they have thrusters on the end of the barge, but, it is about keeping the barge in a singular location. What it does NOT solve is the pitch, yaw, and roll that the barge has in heavy seas. And the north Atlantic is heavy in fall-winter. While I am a fan of spaceX, I do not think that they will succeed at landing on the barge this winter/fall.
Delta IVH can easily take up the BA-330. No problem. The reason why BA has not gone up, is there is not a human launcher that he can use. In addition, they prefer to have 2 launchers, but will go with just spacex's dragon.
Thank god you are not capable of winning a position in CONgress or the WH. Sadly, idiots like you are in the GOP who would rather fund SLS and Putin than America's private space manned program.
If the GOP will quit trying to kill private space, then bigelow and ilc/dover can get their private space stations going. That by itself will NOT be money makers. However bigelow wants the moon. If he starts making progress to get to the moon, then every nation that can afford it , will want to put ppl on the moon for exploration. At that point, every nation will use private space to build their space agencies on. In effect, you will see at least 50 ppl in space training to go to the moon. All that is needed is to get the GOP to quit supporting Russia and have them support America's private space.
First, it is the dems that keep NASA going. In addition, the dems, esp Obama, have been the supporters of private space. Otoh, the GOP congress continue to cut nasa's spending, while funneling to the SLS. Oddly, the GOP have cut private space, including trying to kill off spacex ( not just from funding, they want to kill it off ), but have actively funneled money to Putin than to support private space.
Mark blames Obama in the last paragraph. Yet Obama increased NASA funding when dems were in place, but since the gop took congress, they have cut NASA, as well as funneled money from private space to putin and SLS.
Iow, the gop have become supporters of Russia over American business and big expensive wasteful communist style projects over fast inexpensive private launchers.
You mean like this where the act prohibits American Payment type operations from being used for on-line gambling?
Do note that it prohibits CCs, Paypal, etc from paying out to those companies. IOW, it is not saying that those companies can not pursue Americans, but that American payment companies will not be allowed to pay them. If the American transfers their money to France, or other places, then they can get around the issue.
So, this is very different from France ordering Google to remove all of the data.
The problem is, that they did delist everything as asked.
Where it fails at, and it is the ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTION, is to remove all of the data since somebody from France can simply use tor and Google would not know where they are hailing from.
revenge? Uh, no.
This is treating the company the same as a person. If we are going to do this, then we should do it.
But the idea that companies can have loads of privileges but no responsibilities is a joke.

Change the reactor design. It is time to go to multiple small reactors, than a single large one.
Mars is easy to get to. OTOH, It is hard to send humans there alive and in good health, or to get them back alive as well.
Got news for you. Most of the design for the moon was already in the works in 1957. The saturn family started clear back then.

It can all be replaced. But the design is too inefficient. Inflatables are better. And other than the backbone, nothing else is really that reusable.
Old. Too much stress on it. The fact is, that space is a harsh environment.

It is no more a wrecking ball justice than putting a mother in jail for driving drunk and killing someone.
