MIT has been claiming this type of BS for decades. They haven't done anything. Literally they have been talking about this since the 1970s. Think about it: if it worked it would have been incorporated into something like Siri and be worth billions. But Siri is pathetic.
Baloney. Radiation on Mars is 250% of what the ISS experiences. You shouldn't believe Wikipedia. Those articles are written by space nutters. You are exposed to about 0.6 rads per year. On Mars it would be 8. You would be dead quickly.
"After 18 months living and working on the surface of Mars, a crew of six explorers boards a deep-space transport rocket and leaves for Earth"
No, they won't, because they would be dead from the radiation. Why does Mars fantasy completely ignore reality and basic science? It is like a blind spot in space nutters when they hear the word "Mars colony".
There is no point in an early warning system for asteroids. If one is going to hit Earth, it is going to happen. Save your pennies and build telescopes in space.
Big tech companies do not have humans monitoring anything. That would cost too much money, and they want to make everything as frictionless as possible. I'm pretty sure the "solution" they came up with was that the ads needed to be displayed with a "paid for" name on the ad. The name itself can be anything.
They don't have driverless cars. They got the permit to test them. My guess is when they do test them they will have safety drivers. This is just hype.
Oh let me guess: it is different. It is 30 metre instead of 10 metre like the one next to it. This will allow us to peer further into the origins of the universe and "first light". It is the same story given every time a telescope is proposed. It will be great, but then we will need a 40 meter one at some point. Ground based telescopes are stupid.
Alpha Centauri is 4 light years away. The fastest probe we have ever sent goes 0.023% the speed of light. That means it would take 17,000 years to get there. So unless there is some magical technology that can make probes faster, we don't need to worry about slowing down.
What planetary system could be reached within 16-20 years? The closest one is over 4 light years away. The fastest we have even sent an object is 0.000135% the speed of light.
Moore's Law is dead. There is no reason to upgrade most digital devices. There is also nothing on the horizon that suggests this is going to change, ever.
I'm pretty sure we have known this for generations and could have taken action earlier. Unfortunately, there is no financial incentive to do so. In fact, the financial incentive is to do the opposite: clear land for farming, living, raw materials. This is the real threat to humanity: the destruction of continuous habitat and forests. But the focus is on "Climate Change" because we can implement carbon trading and taxes on it and "fix it".
No it isn't. Working as a nurse is worse than working in a Chinese factory assembling iPhones? And "working conditions on farms"? Obviously no one here has ever visited a farm. This isn't the 1940s.

Yeah you just need to drill underground. On Mars. Go to Home Depot and buy a drill. On Mars.

Yeah, Musks robots will arrive the same year the $35,000 Model 3 arrives.
I am not sure if anyone has told this WIlliam Shakespeare fellow about this, but he should sue for copyright violation.

MIT Media Lab: wasting money and technology since 1985.
Yeah, I think we need some clarification of what the issue is here. I would close it in Bugzilla as WONTFIX "works as designed".
I don't understand. It is stuck showing the Apple logo and nothing else. Isn't that the purpose of the Apple watch?

Exactly. You can build 100 ground based telescopes and it won't be enough. Build them in space.

You don't need a 30m telescope if it is space based. Building ground based telescopes at this point is stupid.
They don't have driverless cars. They got the permit to test them. My guess is when they do test them they will have safety drivers. This is just hype.

I guess 13 telescopes aren't enough. Better build some more.
Yep. Right around the corner.
Fully autonomous cars are right around the corner.
They can't suddenly become good, because Physics.
No you don't. Just do what I did: cut a notch into the screen using a razor blade.
