  9. Re:DARPA Hard on Pentagon's In-Orbit Satellite Recycling Program Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    The obvious, incremental technology would be to build satellites so that they could be refueled on orbit

    Launching craft into orbit costs a lot more than maintaining it in orbit or building new more advanced satellite. Your satellite refueling is ecofriendly, but burning old sats in atmosphere is more cost effective solution.

  10. Re:Poetic Justice on Georgia Apple Store Refuses To Sell iPad To Iranian-American Teen · · Score: 1

    Did the clerk know what was on the list?

    Launch consumed one Altas V rocket. Fuel consumption was minimal when it was in orbit. ISS average speed is 17,239.2 mph. Do you really think that it is burning fuel all the time up there?

    I played boardgames. The interviewers asked why this was relevant. Thinking on my feet, I replied that it showed experience in conflict resolution and teamwork. I think it did, and I still do.

    It depends on your board game and your playing style. Monopoly is also a board game and you win the game by ousting others. Monopoly player is not team player.

  23. Re:Free speech? on Pakistan Blocks Twitter Over 'Blasphemous' Images · · Score: 1

    And not given the death penalty

    So taking away from person his remaining days in bitter fighting is not death penalty. Operation Last Chance was a joke. It only showed that forgiveness is privilege of gods, Nazi hunters seek only revenge for their own kind and they conveniently choose to ignore other victims of WW2 and repressions/genocides that occurred in that period of time.
