There was already a company trying to fill the "niche", Cargolifter.
They failed miserably because of underestimating the complexity and technical problems.
I'm highly skeptical but nonetheless interested how Airoscraft will perform.
LADEEs main missions are to examine the moon's atmosphere (or rather if there is any), along with gathering information about particle impacts (for further moon missions) and generally moon's surface
The final crash is collateral damage (okok, they'll watch dust rising from that impact closely too)
To be fair, you are certainly correct about the freezing part.
However, GP's other points remain valid. Not much survives the heat of an impact, even less (molten) debris ejected into space. Simple organic molecules are destroyed easily with heat (and radiation), not even talking about (primitive) life forms.
As for the article, we can safely assume that probability of life originating from Mars is about the same as amino acids from "outer space" hitting the earth - or the remains of FSM's tomato sauce.
In other words, pure fantasy.
Of course, this study didn't find out what types of soda the children had consumed.
Another study finds that living children are 100% more likely to "destroy things belonging to others, get into fights, and physically attack people" than dead children.

Thus telegraph messages were usually preceded with "CZCZ" (or something similar) to make sure you are in "letter shift", i.e. the following characters were letters, not numbers or special characters.
Yes it should.
Initially it was my own sloppiness, my mistake.
However, I was using that sig for quite some time (not slashdot even) before anyone noticed the mistake and corrected me, so I decided to keep it the way it was, with the mistake, since it seemed (seems) to prove my statement.
What it means, you almost got it right, it's just the opposite;)
In any educated country, there are far more people who can read than there are illiterates.
However, of those people who are able to read, many do not think about what they are reading; and thus failing to comprehend what they are reading.
In a way, they recoginze the words, but fail to get the meaning because they are too lazy to think.
...I am only 53 so I will never get one from the Queen when I am 100. Oh well.
The Queen will probably be a King anyway by that time...
Ok, you'll never know how long the current one lives, and you'll never know what Charles' next surgery will be, so YMMV;)
If I remember correctly, plain text files were structured by default, i.e. stored in a Pascal-like string system.
There were more, I don't remember anymore, been a while after all.
All I remember is, I ended up caching file channels for frequently used (flat) files using raw $QIO for open/read/write operations.
Congrats! You are the (I think) fourth person in about 15 years to notice that.
You just won a washing machine, but I'm afraid you'll have to come and pick it up yourself;)
[...] And since the files could have structure, [...]
As much as I loved VMS for its design and its features (hello $ENQ, $DEQ) I truly hated its filesystem.
Opening a few hundred files in a row on UNIX would go with a snap, on VMS you could go on a long vacation and return before the task had finished.
And that because of its structured filesystem.
If you disagree, feel free to abuse the mod system and mod me down.
If I hadn't commented already, I would mod you down as troll.
Not because of your opinion, but because you fail to explain why you feel he's right. Using your karma cushion is a poor example of expressing your opinion.

Not all, the rest are telephone sanitizers.

Our environmental chambers happen to be set up in Fahrenheit, because our production staff is comfortable with those units;
I assume some people involved in this were also very comfortable with their units.
Maybe NASA are rocket scientists, but it seems they still have trouble getting wheels going

What's the difference between a bachelor and a married man?
The bachelor comes home, looks into the fridge, finds nothing interesting, and goes to bed.
The husband comes home, looks in the bedroom...

I know you are joking, but he wants to silence free speech and people spreading it.
