That won't be an issue.
The only prominent US politician who's serious about ending America's wars is even more serious about ending all forms of welfare.
Hell, even before there was an online, people were doing this.
Couple's who have had to spend lengthy times apart have been figuring out how to share experiences like this for a very long time. I did the same thing in the 80s, talking on the phone (landline for me back in those days) after a movie, or even calling during every commercial break during a TV show (which back in those days were automatically synched up for you).
There were probably people who decided to both go see the same latest Shakespeare play then write letters to each other afterward...
...more than nine people have suffered or died from cancer in the village, which has a population of fewer than 60.
Seriously? 9 people have died of cancer...in China, population 1.3 billion. 9 out of 1,300,000,000?
Were you actually unable to read all the way to the end of that sentence, or are you deliberately trying to mislead in the hopes that nobody else read the summary?
1. You can still be intimate, via methods many posters have pointed out already.
2. Do you honestly think that someone undergoing cancer treatment is going to be having a lot of sex during that time? When it gets to end of life care, and you're in a good hospice program, whiskey and hookers really aren't on the list of what you're going to want/be capable of enjoying.
3. Life isn't like D&D. You're not actually just fine as long as you have one hit point left.
Leaving aside that $2940 is practically nothing to spend on as much publicity as both NASA and LEGO are getting for this, you're "Not sure" if Lego will be paying for this?
Gee, I wonder where such information might be found?
I understand that you might not read the article, a lot of people don't. But, really, if you wanted more detailed information, the article might be a good place to start.
And, failing that, there's a comment a little above yours (Subject="Let's knock the trolls out of the way") that also answers your question.
And, in case you got this far without looking up there out of a sense of embarrassment if nothing else, the answer to your question is yes, LEGO is paying NASA $5,000 per figure to send them to Jupiter, or about five times what you estimate it'll cost.
This was referenced once in a "Batman Beyond" episode, too, where the elderly Bruce Wayne is discussing one of his old foes with the newest Batman. He asks "Who came up with the name 'Ma Mayhem?" Bruce looks embarrassed and replies, "It was the golden age of alliteration."
It was totally factually accurate, but it didn't use dissolved oxygen like fish do, it actually split the water molecules on the fly to create enough oxygen to breathe.
Interesting fact: More Jedi are injured due to oxygen toxicity from breathing pure oxygen at depth than by any other training accidents, including lightsaber fumbling.
There are lots of places where there is existing infrastructure where the people still need computer systems set up and training in how to use and maintain them.
Africa, especially, in the wake of the AIDS epidemic, has lots of orphanages, where they have sources of clean water and electricity (if only for a few hours a day), but a few computers, especially if you can find a way to connect them to the internet, and some training in their use and maintenance, can go a long way to improving the lives of a great number of children.
The non-profit I work with gets a lot of requests from Africa - more than we can fulfill with our limited resources. If you're serious and have time and resources to get yourself and some equipment there I can help you get in touch with somebody.
I don't have any mod points currently or I'd use them here. But, having some experience in this area, I cannot stress enough the importance of training someone local in maintaining whatever system you help set up, whether it be water pumps or a computer network.
Back in Ye Olden Days (like, when we were all getting all excited about the prospect of Star Trek coming back.. as a movie!) both terms were in use:
Trekkie: Fan of the series. Including those who really enjoyed the show and talking about it with their friends, those who liked dressing up and going to conventions, and those who wrote erotic fan fiction and passed around the xeroxed stapled copies.
Trekkers, by contrast, were those who actually worked on the show: the actors, writers, producers, prop people, set designers, etc., and Bjo Trimble and her cadre.
Somewhere along the line, other fans started describing themselves as Trekkers instead of Trekkie, and now the Trekker is just used by Trekkies who take themselves way too seriously.

If I thought it would work, I'd support it fully.
Times change, technology changes, and skills change.
My ten-year-old nephew can't tell time on an analog clock, either.
I don't know how to use a slide rule.
My father doesn't know how to make an obsidian hand-axe.
Woooosh! ............ .. oops, sorry, my jacket told me to push the button. I'm all dry now.
Shouldn't that be "Swoooosh!"?

"Project Damocles" lives!
"Twice the distance as the moon" <> "Low Earth Orbit"
How does doing or not doing any of those things have any effect on whether or not they can capture an asteroid?

I can help. Which word didn't you understand?

It is, however, not the only need.

So has Tektronix in Beaverton, Oregon.
It's not a space station either. It's an anchoring point for the Charon Mass Relay.

I like that he hates the show, but yet knows it well enough to immediately recognize the line.
Huh.
Given the circumstances in this one, I think he was more accurate with the misquote.
Perhaps the problem is that the graphics they're using to crack the password just aren't fancy enough...
With the millions of monkeys using /., surely one of them will happen upon a valid comment.
You must be new here.
