...ultimately useless. What we all want to know if did Mars support life? All the missions to Mars were not equipped to answer that fundamental question. NASA needs to finally design fund a mission to answer that question. Otherwise it is just pretty pictures and things to make planetary geologists happy, and they are going to lose funding and interest very quickly.
"you'd think one civilization would send out von Neumann probes"
Thats ridiculous! What are the chances of another civilization who had a scientist named "von Neumann"?
He isn't moving us towards space. He is launching LEO satellites. You cannot change Physics. It is not possible to emigrate to space. You need to understand the distances involved.
It is rather amusing that SpaceX claims that their technology is "loaded with sensors" so they can diagnose any issues while they are occuring, but then Musk is on Twitter asking for iPhone videos of the launch.
You will never convince the space nutters. They always say "well at one point someone said that people couldn't fly in airplanes" so it MUST be possible to fly to andromeda. No one is going to tell them different!
Um no. It is not "coming". Just because you wish it doesn't mean it is going to happen. Nothing is inevitable, although Nutters think so. You aren't going to break the laws of Physics no matter how hard you wish.
Yes we get it: you can obtain information by listening and measuring things. I can write software that can identify a car and how fast it is travelling with 90% accuracy just using the microphone on a smartphone. Is this what passes for research today in CS? If so, we are doomed.
" The only people with a valid excuse to stay and train their replacement (except maliciously) are those still recovering from a different tragedy that cut down that 6 months savings."
Oh, so you admit that individual CIRCUMSTANCES might have a factor in your choice? SHOCKING! A Slashdot Libertarian admitted that not everyone is just like him! I rejoice! Someone learned something today.
You are right. We all have full control of our circumstances at all times. Another suburban "Libertarian" with no grip on reality. Don't worry: no one is challenging how awesome you are, and how independent you are.
No it doesn't. The money people are going to do it anyway. Whether you take the money and train your replacement or not doesn't matter. Jobs will continue to be outsourced because there is money to be made/saved.
Nice. I better get back to work so I can pay my taxes so you can get that cushy $100K+ job with paid holidays, 20 paid time off days and healthcare and 401k. If I work a bit harder maybe I can get you that gold-plated watch and/or pension you want. Thank you for your "service"!

...what to do! I'll stop using it as soon as you pry it out of my cold dead ha
Well SOMEONE watches Ancient Aliens.

You never know. There are so many Space and AI nutters on here. It is hard to tell who is awesome and who is a nut.

Rockets are "new complex technology"? We have been firing rockets on missions like this for 60 years now.
Are you being serious? Or are you joking? I am genuinely curious.
Exactly. If I wanted to read HotHardware junk I would just visit the site.
DAMN! Space Nutters are taking a hit today!
Whoa, twice as fast? My boring conference calls will be cut in half. Thanks Apple!

No! Mod him down! He is a known crackpot!

Argh, I was going to sell them my hammer for $55! Stop undercutting my price!
I have a hammer that can do the same thing. Or a bottle of water. I'll sell it to you for $55.

Nice! Fortunately everyone else in the country is in the EXACT same circumstances as you. Congratulations! Glad we settled that.
