The problem is that the neo-cons have attempted to override him and are pushing NASA into being a jobs bill. O wants to get private space going. Once going, NASA will work with them, while getting us to asteroids and then mars. But does that mean that the moon is dead? Nope. It is INTENDED that private space will go to the moon.
So, why do I bring up the neo-cons? Because they want to waste money on Constellation, and now on the SLS., all while working hard to kill off private space. Throwing money at the SLS is a horrible waste. Instead, NASA wants to use that money for private space stations, tugs, and of course, a small space station on the far side of the moon. Now that sounds like a lot, HOWEVER, once we have the tug, fuel depot, and private space stations, then putting cargo and ppl on the moon is fairly trivial. And that is what NASA wants private space to do.
Sadly, Schmidt and his buddies are tied into the old space companies and they want NASA to send them LOADS of money (read profits) while doing what neo-cons want to do.
The good news is that when Falcon Heavy flies in 201[34], then it will be easy to kill off the SLS. Until then, it will be a pain.
Far too many ppl here have this wrong. It will NOT be private citizens that fund this. Instead, it will almost certainly be multiple nations that will be amongst the first few groups. My guess is that NASA will go. I am also guessing that Saudi Arabia, UAE, and perhaps Australia will be part of the first few groups.
And for those of you thinking that this will never happen, I will also get that we will see this by 2020, unless the republicans manage to gut NASA's work with private space. So far, O has kept that mostly on track, but no doubt it, the republicans HAVE managed to hurt the effort.
Actually, my bet is that private space will go to the moon, but with NASA leading them. Just like NASA is leading private space to deliver private launch vehicles.
And it is not rich ppl that will pay for this. It will be nations. My bet is that Saudi Arabia, UAE, or Austalia will be on the first trip.
I had suggested this very idea about a year. The idea is that by having multiple stores, it is a certainty that Google will shortly offer one that is for SECURED apps. IOW, it will operate similar to Apple's. Now, I have zip desire to use this for my droids. However, for my 70+ y.o. parents, this is ideal. Likewise, I know a number of ppl that want the security of Apple's private store, but the phones that are available under android (bigger and better screens).
It really is amazing. It is far easier to get the Ammonium nitrate from the large number of sources, then it is to steal it from the relatively few nuke plants around the world. In addition, if AQ, et. al., North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, etc want to do this, they can actually build it cheaply and make their own bomb.
And yet, we would stop building safe nuke reactors because of some group of idiots that scream about everything.
I swear, between the far right extremists of the world (Al Qaeda, America's Republican party, etc), combined with the greenie extremists ( green party, etc), I think that the world is in for a continue deep trouble.
I support US Patriot act, but with more restrictions. But the reason I supported it, was that it was for chasing those from outside our nation that came in. Sadly, it is easy enough to abuse, and that is why it needs more restrictions.
OTOH, this is about following anybody, esp. citizens, that they want. This can not be allowed.
After all, once this is allowed, then what is to stop them from recording all conversations everywhere?
It is long past time for the major engines to work together for a week to simply pull all of the news items from those nations. If French and German news sources lose their customers during that time, I think that they will appreciate what the engines do for them.
Tesla plans to do OTA updates and monitoring of their cars.
In addition, if you go and talk to the salesmen, you will find that they have the ability to plug several cards, replace the main-board, and outside apps can be created, and installed. Hopefully, they will not allow just anybody to install.
Good god. Hopefully, ObamaCare will restore mental health, and at some point, O will push for logic and rational thought to be taught in our primary schools. Both are obviously needed.
I thought so as well, but just ran the video again. Just dawned on me that he restarts the web page and putty comes up.
Well, this guy MAY actually have something.
Nope. That did not show that. Just the opposite. He had a browser up, clicks on what appears to be a.doc, which simply creates a tab. However, I did not see the browser exec an app.
I would suggest keep in mind that some ppl are not native english speakers, and therefore make more mistakes.
However, I do not believe that is the case here.
I missed the last part. By taxing it on the CO2/GDP, that actually forces all of the large ones down. Few realize that.
In addition, for nations that have low emissions on that, if they become successful, their emissions tend to rise. Well, this offers a negative feedback to prevent that.
The real question is, are you serious.
China is developing TWO new coal plant EACH WEEK. They are expecting to increase it next year.
And China has developed most of their hydro resources. As such, all that is left to them, is wind, solar, and geo-thermal.
BUT, the problem is, that China does NOT have the R&D into it. They have production, but that is from cheating. And that is likely to come to an end shortly.
IIRC, by the year 2018, China will account for over 1/2 of CO2 emissions of mankind.
By 2022, it is expected that China will account for 1/2 of all CO2 that mankind has emitted.
Seriously, everybody likes to point to America, yet, our emissions continue to go downwards. OTOH, ALL of the decreases in emissions are overcome by China ALONE. Worse, the western nations have taken an insane attitude towards nuke power.
If the west really wanted to solve this, they would simply put a tax on all goods based on the CO2 per $ of GDP (and not PPP) that are emitted from the nation that the item and parts come from.

And yet, which nation or company was it that sent the first private citizen into space?
Was it Russia? Nope.
Was it ULA, L-Mart, boeing, etc? Nope.
It was Space Adventures who bought a seat from Russia and time on the Russian side of the ISS.
You do recall what FUD is. Right? It is when somebody ignores history or tries to change the future all by offering Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
And Bruce, that is EXACTLY what you are doing at this time.

This is not about violence. This is about stupidity.
Thorium may be old school, but it can also be done quickly and safely.

This makes manual handling in a glove box with only light shielding (as commonly done with plutonium) too hazardous, (except possibly in a short period immediately following chemical separation of the uranium from its decay products) and instead requiring complex remote manipulation for fuel fabrication.
I say, lets give it to AQ and other terrorists. We simply require that they pick it up themselves. They will not get too far, and it is detectable.

OUCH. That is an interesting thought.

If so, then loads of prior art. MS, IBM, GE, etc come quickly to mind.
Correct. That is possible. However, why do that for the publicity? That is SUCH negative publicity that he would never work in software again.
Actually, on mine, it does:

Total emission from America HAS dropped. Each and every year since 2007 and will certainly continue.
The real question is, are you serious.

And China has developed most of their hydro resources. As such, all that is left to them, is wind, solar, and geo-thermal.
BUT, the problem is, that China does NOT have the R&D into it. They have production, but that is from cheating. And that is likely to come to an end shortly.
OTOH, America drops one of our coal plant every 4 weeks, and it is ramping up to every 2 weeks.
America's total CO2 emissions continues to drop each and every year for the last 5 years.
In 2012, we have hit over 13% renewable. In addition, we have over 20% from nukes. And over 30% from Natural Gas (which is much more less CO2). And coal is currently at 37% and will hit below 25% (possibly 20%) by 2020. OTOH, China will stay at over 80% on coal, and another 10% on Nat gas. Yes, China expects for their renewables % to DROP. Just Like America's did. In 1980, America had about 20% of our energy from hydro and 40% from nukes. Since then, things have dropped due to build out of coal and Nat Gas.
IIRC, by the year 2018, China will account for over 1/2 of CO2 emissions of mankind.
By 2022, it is expected that China will account for 1/2 of all CO2 that mankind has emitted.

And you are whom in the climate debate?
