You can think of it that way. Or think of it as a rocket engine that can derive its O2 from the atmosphere for part of the trip up, and then from supplied O2 for the rest.
The engineering on Skylon has been since the 50's as well. In fact, most of the tech for it was developed not by UK, but by USAF, and later NASA, though HOTAIL. Even reagan's NASP was an attempt at this, HOWEVER, it was quickly shown that the failure was material. We have exceeded past that back in the 90s. Sabre does not have a materials issue. What they have is mild engineering, mild testing, and mostly economics. Well, the engineering check was already done. They are building the test engine now.
Using computers in school as a tool is great. Using computers to hold a child's attention, is STUPID. The problem has been that software companies make software to do the later. What is needed is for applications to be ran by an adaptive AI. Children learn in different fashion. With the AI, it would automatically adjust to the child while moving things forward. Right now, I use gcompris at home for my 2 kids (5 and 7). They also go to cool-math, but I has issues with that. Otherwise, I spend loads more time with them then they do with computers or games.
Disregard the reusability issue for the moment. Where is the weight of a rocket? The actual METAL, and physical parts are less than 15% of the weight (IIRC, it is about5%, but I prefer to hedge). So, where is the weight? FUEL. A rocket is more than 80% fuel. So, lets look at HLOX's weight. H2O. What is the weight component of each? H = 2 x 1, while O is 16. That means that O2 is 8/9 of the weight of fuel. That would put O2 at more than 70% of the weight of a rocket. Now, getting to orbit is not about altitude, but about speed. You need 17K mph or so to hit the ISS. If Skylon makes this works and can hit say 3-7K mph, that will enable this craft to drop about 1/3 of their fuel weight (most in O2). That is HUGE. It allows the percentage of cargo that goes up to be higher (normally, a rocket launches around 5%). The reusability is just a major plus. So is the takeoff from a runway. Nothing complicated like our current rockets.
BTW, Once hypersonic becomes usable, then we will hit speeds of 10-12K at 100K'. Then it becomes DIRT cheap to launch cargo and humans. As in this will be the next major launcher after skylon.
SpaceX is a good bet for the next 15-20 years. So is Blue Origin. Beyond that, HTHL will become the norm, and they will be CHEAP.
Yet, it is cheaper to fly, then even the smallest Delta 4 or Atlas V. IOW, there may not be large cargo for it, but when it is cheaper to fly then other launchers that are much smaller, then it will become the norm to fly.
That is how aviation got off the ground. That is how large ships were created. That is how cars were create. That is how railroads were created. The rich started first and then as the price came down, the average person can go. It is about economics.
Space is no longer about access. It is about economics. The SLS is based on a design that was the best that we could nearly 50 years ago. Now, we can do much better.
We need chemicals for a short time. BUT, for moving around in space, Chemicals do not provide much promise long term. Instead, moving to using solar to move cargo around LEO makes good sense. For humans, we will use chemicals to move humans, but far safer, faster and cheaper to use nukes in the moderate haul on. And as to launch, today, we use rockets, but that is going to change. Scaled Composites launch of cargo will happen in about 3 years or less. It will be a fraction of the costs of SpaceX. Likewise, it is certain that Skylon will work. Once it does, all companies will quickly change. Why? ECONOMICS. Space is no longer about access, but economics (which is why SLS will be dead sooner, not later).
Private space has MANY rockets. They can take up fuel. Shortly, they will be taking up humans as well. Of course, a number of ppl in CONgress (hatch, hutchinson, shelby, coffman, wolf, etc) have worked hard to kill private space. In spite of those idiots, private space should win out.
CONgress, namely Shelby(R), Wolfe(R), Hatch(R), Hutchinson(R), Coffman(R), Nelson(D), and many others, are pushing this nightmare. The only reason is not because they believe that it is needed for the space program, but these slimes have turned NASA into a jobs bill.
The good news is that by 2014, SLS will be dead. The fact is, that once SpaceX launches FH, no president will support. It does not matter whom is in office. The project will be dead. Hopefully, we will then hold a COTS for 2 SHLV. At the same time, HOPEFULLY, these above slimes or whomever replaces them, will continue funding for NASA to support nuclear engines (not for launch on earth, but interplanetary travel and perhaps launch on the moon and mars), private space, ISS partners exploration of the moon, and NASA continuing their push for BEO.
The guy was well known that he was going to keep the work in Europe. Yet, DOE loaned that idiot money? DOE's iodicy is making them look like it is ran by a bunch of neo-cons. Horribly inept.
So, you think that the nuremberg trials were a show trial and nothing more?
Would he have ended up dead? Almost certainly. In fact, I would think that both OBL and Gaddafi would be given the death penality. And rightly from what I know.
HOWEVER, it is preferable that we adhere to some civility. I mean, we HAD OBL. I do not believe that he had to die. I am guessing that the same was true of Khaddafi. Regardless, it is academic to argue it. The one thing that I DO like, is that neither of these men will be to torture or murder other ppl.
Yes, it is amazing how bad Libya and Eygpt were to America.
And when UK and France had to push America hard to go into Libya, it was all a plan on our part.
Yes. As a one-time microbiologist/geneticist that worked for CDC (I was on the ground floor of HIV in 1980-1982; I know at least some of the things that the band played on really missed), I KNOW a bit about malaria. However, I recall polio and small pox. Small Pox is not out in the wild, while polio WAS gone from the west (it no longer is). However, nature moves in with new diseases. Even now, Polio is making its rounds back to the west because we are not vaccinating 100%. Part of that is caused by idiots that scream that vaccinations harm their kids. But the other real and the larger part of that, is lack of money. Basically, POVERTY.
The fact is, that once you get rid of malaria, another disease is already there putting pressure on the population. Unless there is an economic plan IN PLACE AND PROGRESSING, then solving one disease will simply increase the population pressures quickly, which will make it harder to put in place an economic change.
First off, I am 52 and have known plenty of ppl that have worked closely with him. Gates has a well earn reputation as being an asshole esp. in Seattle (and yes, jobs is supposed to have been quite a bit meaner; not an ellison, but up there).
It is HIS money. He can spend it the way that he sees fit. HOWEVER, just as America's efforts on Africa for the last 60 years have hardly paid off. We never solved the real issue which is POVERTY. We gave them free food which in turn, took local farmers out of work. How can you compete with FREE food? YOu can not. Gate's solution is the same way. he will solve one problem, but it will only increase the other issues: population increases without monetary increases.
The only workable solution is to help them start businesses and build up infrastructures such as hospitals and schools. Mostly schools.
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. teach a man to fish, you feed him and his kin for life. If nothing else, look at how much good we did in Europe, Japan, and south korea with marshal plan and then later in China with our current stuff. Europe was brought back to life after being devasted in WWII by working closely with them. By the 70's, they Europe, japan were on their feet. SK has come into their own over the last 2 decades. China is a different issue. We sought to do the same, but Chinese leaders are in a cold war with the west, which is why we are going to have to do something soon. The best thing that we can do with Africa and South America is help them expand economically.
I did not say that fighting a disease a bad thing. I said that he is fighting a symptom, and not the cause. The root cause of this is poverty. The real issue is that once you solve THIS disase, unless you take care of the poverty issue, another will QUICKLY rise to the top and kill as many or more in total numbers. The reason is that once you stop the deaths, then you will have higher population densities in some of the worse places going.
Actually, it is yourself that would make a shitty triage. You would obviously try to cure a broken leg or a gunshot wound to the arm, while ignoring the fact that the patient is not breathing and has no circulation.
When you solve malaria, you will now cut the death rate. That will put pressure on the local community. LOADS of it. Right now, the reason why Malaria spread so quickly and easily is because mosquitoes carry it from one person to another. They are right next to each other. Once malaria is cured, then another disease will step right up there because more ppl will occupy the same space, but with the same amount of money to solve issues. Actually less overall as well as less per person. Once it is realized by gates that he screwed up, he will not want to solve the next symptom.
The ONLY answer is to solve poverty. You solve poverty by creating new companies, and then have these companies invest into the local area. Those investments clean up the area, while employing ppl. Once you clean up an area, and have enough money to separate ppl, then disease drops.
BTW, I suspect that even the above will be false. I doubt that gates or others like yourself will look at this rationally and logically. For example, America keeps pouring food and other resources into solving Africa and south America's problems. Yet, new ones pop up. The SMART solution is to work these locals and give them the same capabilities that we have: solve problems LOCALLY. By having enough to deal with it. Brazil is a nation that is building itself up this way. And they ARE addressing issues.
If you think that gates has a good name, then you are less than 35 or are not in the tech world. You also do not know the man, or have met him. The fact is that Gates is an asshole. Not like Ellison, but a real ass. The charities are not his. They are melinda's. She, as a marketer, started it to rehabilitate his name. In fact, the first act was to give cheap cheap computers to libraries, which required buying software from MS at 30% off. The thing was a sham. but it worked. It boosted MS's profits. These days, bill does not tie it directly, but indirectly. He is having R&D work closely with experts and then get patents. Patents that MS owns, not the ppl that actually developed these. Gates is not giving away his money. he is buying IP and a name.
My boss's boss worked for reagan. I seriously doubt that you had anything to do with reagan or know even a fraction of what transpired under him. reagan DID attack BC. In fact, reagan did a lot of things that so few realize.
It will not. Ppl as a whole, do what brings them pleasure. When you do not have a job or money, then you spend your time focused on roughly one thing: sex. Now, when nations are controlled by roman catholics, islam, mormons, etc, or you have idiots like reagan and W that say no money to BC, well, you end up with a high birth rate.
If gates REALLY wanted to solve humanities ills, then he would focus on doing large numbers of INNOVATIVE start-ups all over the world. In return, he would require a number of small items: executives earn no more than say 10x what the bottom person earns; The company must invest 1% of revenues to local non-governmental, non-religious charities and 2% of profits to local hospitals, schools, etc;
By doing that, Gates would get a multiplier effect while re-starting the global economy.
So sad. Malaria is a major killer of ppl. That is a fact. HOWEVER, it occurs where poverty strikes. So, gates, copying Carnigie and Rockfellers to end up with a decent name, is working on this. Basically, he spends money now on curing human SYMPTOMS, while ignoring the main issue that really needs to worked on: poverty. For example, gates, like China, continues to pull money out of the west, and then talks about giving it away without making it productive. Yet, the man has the ability to bring the world out of recession by using that money to fund a large number of innovative start-ups around the world. Note that I said innovative, not necessarily profitable. These start-ups that help create wealth for MANY, that would then invest into their own nations conditions if taught to do so, as part of winning that money. Such a waste of money.
How Ironic. A number of Republicans and nearly all neo-cons/tea* deny that Global warming is occurring. Yet, they are all dying to make use of this northwest passage. Yet, the ONLY way for this to open is if warming is happening.
However, the advantage of the house is that they HAVE to stay close to those that the represent. The problem is that is the case today: Large businesses.
We need to prevent businesses from being able to influence pols, and then they will stay close to US. Hopefully with that case, they will start putting the NATION first. For example, top dem leaders push for amnesty for illegals. Pubs scream about illegals, however ever single one of their GD bills are GUTTED. They speak of building a wall to stop illegals, but it did not work for Berlin. Heck, drugs and illegals flow through the fences that are there. The reason that pubs do this is because large businesses want to continue to use illegals here. Little to No taxes. They can pay a great deal less. And they can flaunt the laws and not worry about being sued (though that last part is changing).
However, if businesses, unions, foreigners were prevented from being able to control pols, then pubs would be all over this and have put forward DECENT illegal control bills. We would have e-verify required at each business, with severe penalty for cheating. So, by stopping outside influence on our pols, we make them responsive to the..... voters.
Lets put this in the correct context:
1) There are 100's of serial killers/child molesters. Worse, a number of them are becoming managers, VPs, and even possibly the CEO.
2) The employee's boss KNOWS about this killing/molester and is ACTIVELY helping to cover it up.
3) All of the bosses up the chain KNOW that this is going on are also actively helping to cover it up.
4) Gates and Balmer are not just working together to prevent the information from getting out, but then are actually doing all that they can to cover it up, as well as blame the victim. Worst, they are working hard to protect the employee that is molesting/killing and offers up half-hearted changes to their system.
And you think that MS would have NO LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE ABOVE SITUATION?
Are you fucking serious? They absolutely would be torn apart. RIGHTLY. And I do not care what corporation it is, if ppl are going to cover this up, then they deserve to fucking BURN AT A STAKE. And BTW, the issue is that these priests are serial molesters. Not 1x, but 10s and even 100s of times. With bishops and cardinals looking the other way. However, increasingly, it appears that pope benedict covered for others. In light of his once having been a GD FUCKING YOUNG NAZI, you would think that he would be opposed to such things and very careful about how this is displayed. But he does not.
