Two trade is a good thing WHEN AND ONLY WHEN it is two way and money is allowed to adjust to properly encourage correct value. China's (and India's) actions are designed to drain jobs away from the west, mostly America. Had W done the right thing and either removed MFN or better yet, get China to live up to their agreements, then there would be NO RECESSION/DEPRESSION right now. This recession/depression has a LOT to do with this imbalance.
Your arrogance and foolishness is amazing (as well as your cowardice). China has their money FIXED against the dollar. They put it in a "basket" and it adjusts upwards/downwards only in relation of the euro to the dollar. It has adjusted less than 5% even though China now has 3 trillion dollars. For China to continue to have MFN and have things be RIGHT by economics, the west will be after Chinese gov. to live up to their agreements. THey have NOT. THey were to free the money, not just control it ever so slightly. In addition, they were to drop trade barriers. China is fighting both and claiming that they want another decade or 2 before doing so.
You can lie all you want, but it changes nothing. China has not lived up to their legal obligations, and the west IS getting fed up with it. France, Germany, and Italy have all talked to Jintao, but so far, nothing. My guess is that when this economy settles down later this year, the west will deal with this issue.
On September 30, 2008, the renminbi traded at 6.7899 yuan per U.S. dollar, which is a 17.3% increase and the highest rate since the removal of the peg. On the other hand, on October 27, 2008 it traded at 8.52812 yuan per euro, [23] which corresponds roughly to the rate at the time of the lifting of the peg against the US-Dollar. In fact, the renminbi has remained at a value of around 6.83 per U.S. dollar since July 2008, oscillating around a narrow band, which in practice amounts to a re-pegging of the renminbi against the dollar.
Problem is, that when we gave them MFN in 1994, it was with the agreement that in 2002, they would drop trade barriers AND free their money. They reneged. W did not make them stick with it, which is EXACTLY why America is in the shape that we are. Had the Yuan risen slowly, then trade would have leveled off. Now, we have to get China to do the right thing by the WORLD and SLOWLY free their money. I doubt that they will.
My guess is that next year, we will bring pressure on CHina to live up to their obligations. They speak about the dollar dropping, but that is as much, if not more, their fault.
The summary is all over in terms of calling it new plant, when it is really a new reactor. But that is a good start. It would be nice if the pubs would push the concept of even 1 new nuclear plant / every 4 states. Heck, the stimulus money could have done a nice job of funding this and allowing us to move nicely to electric cars.
With that said, I do think that we need to continue with AE esp Geo-thermal and Solar Thermal. Both are capable of base load power, which is really what is needed.
China has their Yuan fixed to the dollar, rather than allowing it to float freely. If you take any value around GDP in China (or India) of a common money, then it is total nonsense. As it is, many economist think that the Yuan should be 300-400% higher (i.e. about 1.5-2 yuan/dollar instead of the 7 yuan / dollar that the run).
The gist of my post was that something fed it to get it to bloom. It is possible that it does occur and we just were not looking for it, but I would still want to examine other possibilities.
There is a crapload of life there. But, so far, the only algae blooms that are seen is when something feeds it. Alaska and western is not dumping much in way of fertilizers, so what is feeding it.
You should examine your total lack of logic. Heck, you might even look at some of somebodies past posts before trying to put ppl down like a coward.
only "poor" countries. China is currently in better shape than most of the west, BUT now would be the time to sell it to the west. Books cost LOTS of money. The ability to put a $100 computer in a child's hand with 20/year for new material would lower most of the school budgets.They really should be targeting the west.
K The current system IS a simple system. The previous implications was that there would not be recycling (the approach that Russia takes). OTH, this system is not really made for mars itself, but for the trip. It is meant to operate in little to no G's.
And as to mars having water, You know is that is is located at the extreme locations. The air itself is dry (much dryer than anyplace on earth). If I were going there, I would want plenty of CLEAN supplies available. In addition, I would want it recycled until we had several water plants in place.
Take the kiss solution on a trip to Mars and see what happens. If employing Russian approach, you will need a great deal more water to make it there (which means many more launches just to stock up). Personally, I would prefer to have lots of stocks AND the ability to recycle, so that I can go as long as possible.
Of course, you could bring it earth and place it in an orbit, and mine it, or simply break it up prior to re-entry (that would lose a lot of mineral though).
Actually, I think that it is exactly what we need. NASA will report what is found which will leave it open to another nation to haul down, while if private industry sends a remote probe around (say launched via falcon9 heavy and using a vasmir/nuke drive) to hop amonst the asteroids, it would make prefect sense.
Actually, at this point, I would rather a few were by us. I think that we are going to need the minerals and elements, and have a few close by with different minerals could be useful. In particular, China is the main supplier of Rare Earth and a few steel making minerals, but they are purposely holding them off the market. All in all, I think that if we want to avoid war, we need to make sure that all nations have access to these. Probably the more interesting way would be to mine space.
And yet, I have done work for various 3 gov agencies including DOD and NSA, as well as grew up part of my in the airforce (I have designed defense methods for the DOD during the 80s as well as have developed software for unique hardware back in in post 9/11 for NSA) . What I find interesting is that in the military you are NORMALLY taught to be brave enough to stand up and take credit/blame for your actions. You are not, which I am guessing means that you are not from the US DOD. THe only one ignorant was yourself doing a double posting.
Some things are not worth solving. We are talking a 1 minute window of issues. With Ares I already at the max load, it makes no sense to add more weight for the escape rocket. That is just part of the risk of being an astronaut.
We need to start recycling our own waste streams rather than sending to other nations. In particular, we send our electronics to China where they pick out elements from it. Instead, if we would start designing our own recycling plants we could keep the elements HERE.
ethanol and salt mixes with water. As such, they will likely use a distillation or a chromatograph to separate ethanol from the water and salt. To do that, means that it will run better if they do not have the algae in there. I think that they will have some sieve filters that will hold back large molecules, which will also hold back the algae.
It would be better to focus on doing the local network while pushing research on Superconductor. Once we have superconducting wire, then it becomes much easier to move electricity around.
I also have a 5 and 2 y.o. I put iron in primer paint and put a couple of coats on their bedroom wall. That allows me to stick magnets on the wall. In particular, I have grabbed a number of the felt cut-outs that are available. I simply put magnets for business cards on the back of these and pix. On my daughter's room, I have the planets and sun up top. Below that I have the alphabet, digits, more pix and felt layouts of spaces, and as well as pix of cells.
Both of my kids know the planets name, and my 5 y.o. is learning the parts of cells. Last night, I had them watch SpaceX's Falcon 1 launch, and they love to watch the SpaceX animation. There is a book that my 5 y.o. loves to read which is the "see inside science". Some of their puzzles are rockets, airplanes, trains, etc.
Right now, I am simply trying to get the kids INTERESTED in science. For a 2 and 5 y.o, that is your best bet. That is your best bet.

China uses a basket, which they control and they keep the value fixed against the dollar even though they have accumulated 3 TRILLION dollars. In a proper economy, the dollar would plummet against the Yuan/Renminbi. In fact, most economists say that if China allowed it to properly float, that they Yuan would trade at about 1.5-2 yuan/dollar. Right now, it trades at ~7 yuan to a dollar. On September 30, 2008, the renminbi traded at 6.7899 yuan per U.S. dollar, which is a 17.3% increase and the highest rate since the removal of the peg. On the other hand, on October 27, 2008 it traded at 8.52812 yuan per euro, [23] which corresponds roughly to the rate at the time of the lifting of the peg against the US-Dollar.

Officially, the Indian rupee has a market determined exchange rate. However, the RBI trades actively in the USD/INR currency market to impact effective exchange rates. Thus, the currency regime in place for the Indian rupee with respect to the US dollar is a de facto controlled exchange rate. This is sometimes called a dirty or managed float. Other rates such as the EUR/INR and INR/JPY have volatilities that are typical of floating exchange rates.[5] It should be noted, however, that unlike China, successive administrations (through RBI, the central bank) have not followed a policy of pegging the INR to a specific foreign currency at a particular exchange rate. RBI intervention in currency markets is solely to deliver low volatility in the exchange rates, and not to take a view on the rate or direction of the Indian rupee in relation to other currencies.[6] In a nutshell, India DOES have their money pegged to the dollar and it designed to do the same thing as China; Drain Jobs. In fact, they once allowed it to vary and the rupee started rising; quickly. To the point where IBM and MS threatened to pull jobs.

I would rather see these companies spend money on geo-thermal or Solar Thermal. Both of these can serve as base-load power.

they will change the interface. It is normal MO for them; Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. MS does not know how to play nicely together.
These do not happen at the poles. It normally requires warmer water. So, what is feeding this in such cold water?

it would be in the Orion coffin, not an Ares.
