You aren't going to see anything at the landing site with a telescope, even the Hubble (although you'd probably fry it if you pointed it at the moon). They know where to point the laser, it disperses enough so that some of it hits the mirrors, which are designed to reflect incoming light straight back out.
Oh, and the conspiracy nuts would tell you that an unmanned mission could have put the mirrors there.
In the book "The Millionaire Next Door", they found that by far the most important factor for achieving true wealth was: marry a frugal woman. It's practically impossible to become wealthy if you don't, and almost inevitable if you do:)
You know the reason the car companies are going belly up is because of those costs, right? But it's OK, the taxpayer will end up footing the bill, just like we did for the steelworkers. You know, I don't mind the unions turning Detriot into an empty husk and I don't own US auto company stock, but I don't see why my tax dollars will have to go to prop up their obscene pensions and health care.
When a corporation goes belly up the people who invested in it lose every dime they put in it. The workers lose two weeks pay. Well, they may lose there retirement money. If they were stupid enough to put it in company stock.
Burglars in the US are almost always smart enough to not burgle a house when people are home (unless it's a blue state where nobody owns guns legally). This is far less true in Europe.
Find someone to trade your Albertson's card with. Screw up their statistics. Course, you should hope they don't buy a bunch of apples and razor blades Halloween afternoon . . .
And the reason you think the USSR wouldn't have collapsed otherwise is, uh, what exactly?
Maybe it had to do with the fact that Gorbachev was the first Soviet Premiere that had actually drank the Kool-Aid. He believed communism could exist with freedom of speech, and without repression.
Don't know if they still do, but in the Dallas area some of the suburbs would give you a break on the bill if you let them run a control line to your thermostat. Every now and then the house would be a little warm when you got home from work in the summer, but the people I knew who signed up for it didn't feel it was much of an inconvenience (there were limits on how much they could affect it).
Compare the cost of making pr0n vs. a Hollywood movie or a video game. Easy to recoup costs, they can experiment with distribution techniques a lot easier.
HARM missiles don't use DU. Just high explosive. I used to work for the company that makes them. Walked by a full size model of one on the way to my cube every day.
Think about it. It's homing in on an antenna, which usually isn't encased in armor (wrapping an antenna in metal tends to reduce its effectivity). You want something that goes BOOM, not a kinetic weapon.

He didn't say buy shares of the company you work for. Buy your competitor's shares, either way you come out ahead :)

They haven't just collectively bargained themselves out of a job. They're going to be out their pension and health insurance too.

Sounds like someone doesn't live in Dallas. Or North Dakota. Or is over the age of 40.
You are operating at an extremely high level of ignorance.
Well, in my reality, people who've been dead for three days typically tend to stay dead.
I wouldn't say "absolutely no emperical evidence". Didn't the Michelson-Morley experiments indicate "c" was constant in various reference frames?

I don't have the right to duct tape your piehole shut.
First Superbowl was in 1967 :)

Microsoft is considered a monopoloy, Google is not. Kind of need to have a monopoly before you can be charged with abusing it.

Yes. They're called "credit unions".
And continue with 1 billion Indians taught English by the British . . .

Why don't Baptists have sex standing up? It could lead to dancing.
Screw giving them US citizenship. The French were dumb enough to do that when they got out of Algiers. Look what that's got them.

A corner mirror reflecting the laser right back at you would be a very effective way of destroying your own weapon system, wouldn't it?
