How soon will Allen put money into something like Bigelow or IDC Dover? Basically, to make this profitable, he will want to have multiple destinations to go to. Of course, they could rent out the carrier since it will have some impressive cargo capability.
But I really think that Allen's goal is to do for Space what Allen's charter did for internet over cable, or musk's tesla did for electric cars. Allen will likely want to hurry BA or IDC along.
This system is very likely well beyond what Iran can do on their own.. Most likely China has cracked into our systems, OR far more likely, have spies that work on this and modified the code to accept their commands, or possibly even sold us parts that allowed them to hijack this. This ties into revelations about China's hidden systems.
Now, the funny part is that everybody will blame O for not going into Iran to steal this back. Yet, this is proof that we have a fucked up industrial-military complex. We need to crack down hard on security, since it should be obvious that we have security issues. But we will not. We will continue this way.
Add this to Kyoto and the massive breaking of WTO/IMF by China and you have the direction for where the west is headed towards.
China is NOT doing anything. Hell, they put 1-2 new coal plants on-line EACH WEEK. And in every case, they have pollution control INSTALLED, but not running. Their output is 3x what is claimed. In fact, it is quite close to America's output. This will become obvious when OCO2 comes on-line and the Chinese gov. can not play games.
Because this is only encouraging companies to move to nations that actually pollute MORE per $ PPP GDP. Yes, having good manufacturing move to Brazil, India, or China will actually make things WORSE, not better.
Doing nothing is the FOOLISH answer. Doing Kyoto is just plain STUPID since it is making things WORSE, not better. In fact, Kyoto is probably the worst way to go since you can not even get the main players today to do the right things.
The agreement has been a total disaster. It has actually encouraged nothing but political tom foolery. Each participating nation has done little to get off CO2 emissions. Hell, the bulk of EU is moving their worst emitters over to nations that are NOT covered by kyoto. That is a joke. EU is killing their nuke power plants and then buying from either other nuke plants OR buying from coal plants outside of kyoto. In addition, you have EU 'BUYING' CO2 credits. It is INSANE.
The ONLY way to make this happen, is for nations to TAX ALL GOODS (local and imported) based on CO2 emissions from where the item is assemblied and where the largest sub-components come from. Keep in mind that this is not a tax that remains there. It is up the nations where items are produced. If a nation has close to the accepted amount of emissions, then they will have no taxes. OTH, a nation like China will have 100% of the increasing taxes (yes, CHINA). In addition, this tax needs to be calculated NOT on per capita, but on PPP GDP or SQ km of land. The fact is, that ppl are not the major emitters. It is the GDP that does it.
Hence the reason why I was suggesting that YouTUbe/Google get in on this. It is not in Google's advantage to have large corporations pulling stunts like this. If they join in and sue on the same issue, hopefully, the large corps will re-think their position.
Netflix is being libeled here. In addition, you tube is being KNOWINGLY lied to. This is not a copyright case. This is libel and false misrepresentation.
First off, the running of the ISS is NOT that expensive. It was expensive because we were building it and using the shuttle. Now, that we are at a stopping point, the running of it is pretty cheap. It is also about to be cheaper with launches in no small part due to SpaceX. However there are 2 main issues with the ISS:
1) they manufacture NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING. EVERYTHING has to be imported, just like sending a bunch of robots to Mars.
2) they do not do a good job of recycling. As such, it require a number of resources, namely water, hydrogen, O2, etc.
OTH, we can send a crew to Mars with a greenhouse, a base, etc. They will need energy, but that can be done via nukes, geo-thermal, and ideally a solar sat (that can also beam energy to robots). Likewise, water is a none issue. Garbage? Not a big deal. A greenhouse for growing food is easy enough to do, though the crew should have enough food to last at least 2 launch cycles (in case one is lost). Basically, for the costs of sending less than 10 FH's, we can put a crew on mars. Then we send supplies every 2 years.
Seriously, these two should sue the pants off of these companies and make money on it. False known claims for youtube and ask for all the money that was made on the videos x 10 (amount + 9x). FedFlix can use libel and ask for all the money that was made on these videos x 10 (amount + 9x).
Once disney and a few others have to pay for EXPENSIVE lawyers AND massive penalties, they might think twice about stealing and lying.
If you are dynamic IP, that is why. In addition, if you are running windows, that would expain it. IOW, you have been UPLOADING, but without your knowledge.
these are the same set of bastards that not only pulled illegal actions on Dr. Dos, Stacker, Novell, Netscape, Linux, but AS SOON as the feds released them from being monitored, they went right back to their old trick with Attacking Android via a number of questionable approaches.
I would have to say that any OSS developer, if not any developer, that works on MS is just plain foolish.
First off, we need to get off this planet with a base. By doing that, if something DOES happen here, they stand a chance of having humanity survive. But the real issue is that ppl on mars could re-program, re-build, re-think how things were happening. In addition, the amount of science that would flow would be MUCH cheaper than by doing robotic alone. No, we need BOTH there.
We need to send a dragon on a mission their to get the facts. I think that one with a couple of nukes inside would be interesting. Even better would be if it had the ability to hop a few places. Perhaps modify it use methane/LOX and then at each landing sites, while science is being done, generate the fuel.
What I find interesting is that so many ppl want to send ppl on a 2--way mission. Instead, it should be thought of as a 1-way mission and have them go there and stay at least a decade. One of the most important reasons is that Mars DOES have the likelihood of having life. If so, the last thing that we want to do, is bring it back here.
Basically, the group of ppl would focus on survival, building out a base, and of course science. But much of the work there could be carried out by robotics, with the ppl their to control and fix them. In addition, it would actually be cheaper and safer to do the 1-way.
Now, along comes
CCDEV,
which spent 50 million in 2010 for 5 companies.
Spent 270 million in 2011 for 4 companies.
and 500 million in 2012 for 3-4 companies.
Now, I am opposed to what the neo-cons (and a single idiotic dem) have tried to do to private space. HOWEVER, the fact is, that O HAS managed to keep the money flowing to private space and yes, it IS increasing. Is it as much as many want? Nope. It would have been MUCH better to have the 850 million that O wanted. HOWEVER, it is 500 million for 1 year, while COTS was less than 100 million/year.
In addition, it is highly likely that next year, the amount will rise to 1 billion or more AND we will see money flow to Bigelow (who is actually MORE important than any single human launch carrier INCLUDING SpaceX).
Basically, USA will be back in space with private launchers by 2014. It will include SpaceX, and possible Dream Chaser. By 2016, we will have 3 human launchers. IFF the neo-cons do not gut private space, we can get Bigelow in space starting end of 2014 (this is still possible even with the layoffs). That is the most important piece because it allows the human launchers to be relatively quiickly profitable. Keep in mind that at most, ISS will only use 1 human launcher a quarter. With the BA unit, they will add at least 1 human launcher / quarter, but possible more.
Well, China is preparing for a hot war. It is an interesting read. But there have been reports for over a decade that China had restarted their nuke production. Who knows, with the horrible leadership in America for the last decade, we will probably find out when most of them launch.
Basically, Apple does not want the hit on them, so followed the Sun/MS model of getting another company to do the hit, with the ability to bring money back to them.
Changes in laws are needed. It is truely a disgusting set-up with fucking lawyers.
In spite of the neo-cons (and one dem) attempting to destroy private space, I think that SpaceX will be JUST fine.
What is REALLY needed is for the US to get at least ONE human launcher going again, AND biglow aerospace. The reason is that once you have several destinations with the ability to have competition for launch, prices will drop and more nations and businesses can afford to jump on to the space station. Personally, I would love to see either Paul Allen or the google boys pour some money into SpaceX, even if a combination of investing and lending, to get Human launch occurring quickly.
Look, my daughter is 2'nd grade. The math is now called everyday math. She is learning her multiplication in 2'nd, rather than in 4th when I did. From what I saw, this was right in line with what she has. More importantly, this math probably is exactly what kids need in later life. Do they really need the theory? Yes, at a later time. But at first, they need to get a decent understanding of how it is applied around the world. And for adults that can not do this kind of math, well, I would have to say that it reflects more on the adult, then the coursework.
one of our products was forced to be on MS (2-3x the price of Unix and support costs of 5x). Since it went down so often, we said that it had the 'blue screams of death'.
So, GE has moved a bunch of the health care production to China, combined with work with MS.
I would say that the two actions will bring new literal meaning to that saying.
Some things are interesting. For starters, on CNN, they claim that it was demolished in a crash landing. Over on Faux, they they are saying that what you see is the drone (which means it is in good shape). It would be real nice if this was a trojan horse.
Some high up DOD said that this was one of ours and that Iran has it. They do not say that it is an RQ-170, but, that is assumed. Hopefully, there is more to the story then what it appears to be.

Seriously, if this hurts GPS, then China will likely deploy this so as to interfere with local GPS.
For COTS, we will spend .5B. That was a project that was split between 2 companies (well 3) and is about to be finally collected since starting in 2006. IOW, we have paid less than 90 million a year for COTS.
Now, along comes CCDEV,
which spent 50 million in 2010 for 5 companies.
