Actually, when we went to the moon, that was more than a magnitude more difficult. We had very little knowledge of surviving in space. In addition, we had very little knowledge of the moon. Then you add to it, the fact that nearly all of the technology was recently developed for this mission, you realize that SLS and even Orion are based on technology that is 50 years old. these are well tested and the mission itself will not be a huge issue.
Probably the biggest issues will be:
1) moving the asteroid which will require all sorts of interesting engine technology. Without loads of lead-time, we are probably looking at using NERVA. Even now, NASA is working on re-doing that.
2) having astronauts be separated from their vehicle. The only time that has been done was on the shuttle with the MMU. IIRC, it was done only a couple of times. We still need to figure out safe ways for humans to move around this rock.
what is your point?
One of the biggest reasons for war on earth, are resources. China is running around grabbing all that they can. The best thing for the west, if not the world, is to have mutliple sources of every element in use. That is far more likely to stop future wars.
it will not be just the orion. It is too small for 2, let alone 3 ppl to spend a month or more doing a mission.
It will be the orion combined with a some unit, probably a Bigelow unit. Considering that a BA-330 weighs less than the Orion itself, it makes sense to send one up to
the robots will do the capture and move it, not ppl. As to the rest of the mission, humans exploring it makes perfect sense once it is in lunar orbit. Both from the sense of costs as well as capabilities.
LOL. Interesting theory.
However, one that is equally plausible is that a green alien took on a human skin and does not want the attention that this will bring.
nice work. Sadly, facts and logic will not matter to him. The truth is, that we did this same math on the last go around on this, and he saw it and still lies about it and everything connected with Tesla.
it is inefficient. Just because MB decides to do a $.5M car with 4 mores (not engines) to gain speed, does not mean that it is efficient. Interestingly, it is using tesla's batteries, and only gets 160 MPC, while Tesla gets around 200 MPC in a $80K car that performs close to it.
BTW, with their 4 motors, they have 4 separate transmissions so have added around 100 KG at each corner of the car. The only reason why that car performs OK (and not that great) is because of Tesla's skateboard battery.
do you have electric locks on your car? On current cars, when you lock/unlock, it is not a mechanical linkage. It is electrically driving. Likewise, most cars have electric windows. The exceptions are the cars that costs under say $30K.
the artists are the top. The issue here is that the studios were able to constrain access to the public via radio and then megastores.
Now, with the net, it brings back competition IFF it will step forward.
No doubt they wrote a bill that said exactly what L-Mart and UA were to do together and exactly how it would be built, along with input from companies based in China. That makes far more sense since it is what they did on the Space Launch System (SLS) along with the JSF.
exactly. Until these media groups really act like the studios and help these groups make it big, they will not make any profits. What is needed is real competition to be restored to the recording industry, in which the artists get the majority of money.
Seriously, I have seen several good groups who were waiting for the BIG deal with one of the major recording studios. They refused to do their music on-line because they heard that the majors would block them. Yet, if the streaming media groups will start going after these start-up bands and get them deals, and streaming, the media can gut the recording studios. Once they can strip the monopoly from the recording studios, then they will be able to make money. Until then, just those couple of studios control everything.
got news for you. That is true of all modern cars. All of them have always on electrical systems. How do you think that you open those electric locks, or start cars remotely, or have a security system?
so does most ICE cars these days. What is your point?
As to the conversation, the previous poster claim that there was a motor at each wheel, which is inefficient.
No, in point of fact, the car would be assumed to be a commercial success if the gas car caught on fire as few times as the Tesla has. Those stats have already been shown over and over. You can now go collect your paycheck at BMW.
Oh, it gets better. He turned down financial assistence from Tesla including covering the car, and the costs of the garage burning.
Also, it supposedly started with the Tesla, BUT, it was not the drive train, the motor, the batteries, the super charger, the computer, or any part of the electric system.
So, where did it start?
As I said earlier, this sounds like the guy that committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head 3x with a 45.
Ok, it started in the tesla. It is not the battery, not the drive train, not the charger, not the computer, etc, BUT, it started in the tesla. Okkkkaaayyyy.
This sounds like the guy that committed suicide by shooting himself directly in the back of his head 3x with a 45.
I suspect that USA will NOT do anything to him (and would be upset if we did, though I still believe that manning, along with snowden, deserve the death penalty).
The fact is, that we have NO legal ability to go after him. He did not steal the information. He is not an American. He did not take an oath.
Of course, we can scream about it, but that is a different issue.
If I were Assange, I would be a lot more concerned about the rape charge. Sweden takes that VERY serious. In fact, his carping about USA, makes me wonder if he is not simply hiding from Sweden. IOW, he is pulling a republican approach to the real issues and screaming about nonsense.
Not really. Wyoming burns nearly 100% coal. Colorado is around 50% coal (though dropping fast). and then you go to states like Kentucky and you see a lot of coal.

Not mine. The original poster came up with total fiction, so did I.

VERY WEIRD.
I am guessing that there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. Like smoking something in the car.

The fact is, that the metadata belongs to the phone companies, not to the user.

ice, it may actually have better clearence than you realize. Until it shows up at park meadows, we will not really know.
LOL. So, tesla, spaceX and Solar city are just hobbies? LOL.
