30% launch cost reduction is a huge deal. It is considered good ROI in many areas, so things which previously could only break even become financially viable, and in fact a risk worth taking.
The first implementations of the SLAM-type algorithms came from a missile with the same name; the Supersonic Low Altitude Missile. This was a multi-attack nuclear weapon which would cruise along the ground at Mach 3 and pop off nukes on Russian cities as it went, spewing fission products from its exhaust. A truly monstrous weapon.
The CO2 in Venus' atmosphere could be used as a source of carbon for building a ribbon around the planet. A satellite-based atmospheric heater could perhaps propel the gas to sufficient altitude. The oxygen could be combined with hydrogen so that vapor clouds formed on Venus, since those reflect a lot of sunlight back into the atmosphere. There might be enough hydrogen in the solar wind for this to be done reasonably quickly.
It could be sensible to build an orbital ring/space station around Venus while we wait for the planet to cool...
Quite glad to see that Mars doesn't get all the Terraforming attention! =)
If it had mass, presumably yes. This of course assumes the new universe has the same laws of physics as ours.
They might not have the same laws of physics. In that case, they would fit the strict definition of 'dark matter', even if not the actual observation which caused the term to be invented.
This shims another layer of abstraction in between the causa prima and the now.
To be specifc, it makes sense for logical entities not to play outside the rules of axiomatic set theory. Axiomtic set theory is defined and limited by this assumption which in turn creates the very fabric by which we do math. - You make up a rule and then you follow it to its logical conclusion.
Are humans logical entities? A lot of our existence is determined by the evolution of our neurons, which gives rise to an inherit body of knowledge that we call instinct. We know that life is an emergent property of physics, so it does indeed make sense to question wheter or not this is a silly place.
I don't attempt to tell you what's what, but merely to tell you that the pure math approach isn't it. GÃdel proved it, BTW.
Slashdot Mirror
How is that contempt of court if they unlist both the quarreling parties?
I would love to see a Slashdot-trained chatbot flame devs in the guise of Linus Torvalds.
It is the behavior which is the problem; not the the target.
Some call it 'kill', others call it 'cure'.
How does 1kW per leg sound to you?
Servos are miniaturizing fast.
Never underestimate 5-year olds.
Saying 'he' when referring to an unknown gender is misleading, regardless of the tradition. You imply you have information you don't actually have.
That said I often call cats 'he', although cats surely would prefer a royal plural.
ACTUALLY, it is getting us into a fickle afterlife & fantasy world where the sum of your desires make the walls of your sepulchre.
MAYBE you are already in your afterlife, eternal and alone with your base ego.
Is this like the gamma matching 'capacitor' used in ham radio antennas, like the Halo antenna?

Here's to hoping they keep true to the 30%!
There are microbolometers which could work for this application, but you would require expensive infrared optics to get any kind of range with them.
Link please? Datasheet if you can...
There are some privacy concerns with bugging an entire city...
Everything I have read here makes me angry. First, there were technical reasons why Tesla wanted AC, and economic reasons why Edison wanted DC.
Second, HVDC lines exist. This is for BOTH technical and economic reasons.
Third, you can run AC and DC on the same lines and filter one from the other. With modern SiC tech this isn't even a challenge.
AlGaAs is transparent to mid-IR. This clears the path for photonic interconnects.
Perhaps optic fibers can be spun out of the stuff?
And, apparently, it is three times as abundant as silver in the Earth's crust, so PARENT made no mistake here.
The minerals in the mantle or core are not easily accessible, so the phrase "in the Earth's crust" needs to be observed.

AFAIK the C-C jetliner brakes improve the economy of that; to specifically last much longer than a single use.
The X-43 flew for nearly ten minutes at hypersonic speed. The leading edges were treated with PVD, presumably to make them ablative as you say.
It's called carbon-carbon. It's a composite material where both the substrate and the binder are carbon. It gets used in jetliner wheel brakes too.

Its design started in 1955. - No, that's not a typo.

More simply: light is massless but able to impart torque and momentum.
Convoluted literature like this seldom if ever mention a mechanism which makes this possible.
If your company buys 'big data', I have a bridge to sell you.
Know your data. Don't build a castle in the sky; that's how SAP happened.
