NASA could recover more funding if they ended the space station project early, as George W. Bush planned. About $25 billion by my count. What will they do up there between now and then? A whole lot of nothing, marooned with our enemies the Russians. It would be wiser to go back to the moon before the Chinese do.
None of Obama's decisions will last. There is no point in NASA committing to anything beyond 2016. After that President Cruz will shake things up at moribund NASA.
Insufficient for what? Their pocketbooks? Climate change is a fraud. The notion that you can express control on climate through political structures is nutty.
is to reduce the number of student visas given to them. That will whip them into shape fast. IBM has lost to everybody in IT. What makes them think they beat Intel?
A really silly mission, whose scope gets less impressive all the time. A new administration can't get here fast enough to, among other things, kill this silly mission and seriously reform NASA.
Not likely. The leftist America haters are being swept from power election by election. Ted Cruz should set NASA right in 2 years and send Obama's bed wetters home.
Not surprising. Obama's activists at NASA have been slow walking (read sabotaging) the program for years. They'd rather be raining federal dollars on their crooked hero Elon MUsk. We need a new President who will make SLS a priority. Constellation was a great program and the leftists wrecked it. Now we are marooned for the next decade on a decrepit space station with our arch enemies, the Russians. Not a space program befitting America, but then again, neither is our leadership.
Sarah Palin's emails were investigated, and held up to leftist scrutiny. Hillary destroyed hers, without giving the rightful owner of the records a chance to investigate. That concealment is a crime.
Political power is irresistible to left leaning scientists, particularly those who've constructed and apocalyptic narrative around their subject (climate research, cough cough...) Who wouldn't want to save the world, and line their pockets at the same time?
For comparison, fluvial landforms of the Atacama have been exposed for about ~23 million years. Channels on Mars have been exposed for 3.5 billion, a huge difference (150x by my count). Even a weak erosive force can accomplish a lot in that time. In that time wind erosion has almost entirely excavated Gale Crater to a depth of more than 5km, leaving Mount Sharp behind at a similar height.
He's a lying socialist, who puts the interests of indolent immigrants above the rights American citizens and the rule of law. But I knew that already. Let's take an honest slashdot pol. How many of you a$$holes voted for him? Thought so. What did you expect?
Just use Scheme. The syntax is trivial, it is interpreted and you can be teaching concepts right away. And the rabbit hole goes as deep as you want. I've been using Scheme for 20 years and have still not fully plumbed its depths. It is an amazing language.
In addition, those western flanks show solid evidence of past glaciers
I know of no instance on earth where glacial ice fills lava tubes. Lava tubes are fragile. Glaciers are very destructive. What plausible process exists where ice will non-destructively fill lava tubes? Earth has thousands of volcanoes and lots of glaciation. Mars has neither. This is a ridiculous statement even for slashdot. The Indian Mars images are impressive, for 1970.
Lead as a pollutant? Maybe. But that was yesterday's EPA. Today's calls CO2 one. I call EPA unrestrained, unscientific extremists. The fusion of climate science with leftist ideology is a great tragedy of the last 30 years. The end of life on earth will come when tectonics have ceased, volcanism slows to nothing, and CO2 is gradually bound to carbonates in the oceans. Photosynthesis becomes impossible, severing the food chain. About 10^9 years. Enjoy CO2 while we have it.

As long is they don't pursue MILF POV.

Another mushy moderate is not what we need. The GOP needs a rock ribbed, conservative bomb thrower. Go Ted Cruz!!!

There is no upside to instructing hostiles in this.

Does that go for Hillary's server too, or is it optional for people who hold high office?
I've been accumulating cheap oil stocks. So have at it leftists. You're making rich in preparation for retirement.
Intel stock is a screaming buy. P/E of 13, yielding 3%, great growth prospects, and the best chip foundry on the planet.
I prefer the firing squad. It is an American tradition. No nonsense. Put 'em down with prejudice. Arguing about drugs is silly.

Yeah, well I have made a killing in ADM stock and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Tell me you don't love it.

Good. Nice to see government employees muzzled for a change. Climate change is a fraud.

The approach trajectory was particularly cunning considering that there was an outage of Dawn's ion thruster.
I am all for northern Europeans becoming American citizens rather than Mexicans or muslims. I think US immigration policy should reflect that.
