I mean seriously, what is so bad? Is everyone really buying into that Big Brother Crap where the government is going to know everywhere we go and shiat?
Most European Countries use ID's like this already.
... yeah because you know, 300million people walking through siberia would be soooo easy and trivial, I mean the people wouldn't starve, and it would be so easy to get all the transportation and fuel for them to get there! oooo let's not forget where the hell are they going to get the boats to cross into Alaska from Siberia? A human bridge? haha! Your rambling like a six year old, what you say is impossible.
You go If A then B then C, but your A is WRONG which means your B and C are also wrong.
Those are occupations though, in a war with China the US would most likely have no desire to occupy china. If it did, Im going on a hunch, I believe that it would be more like the US occupation of japan after WW2 rather then the current occupation in Iraq.
The winning im talking about is defending our people and stopping their government from attacking other nations. Anyways, I posted what I did because the douche parent before me is one of those people who blindly posts that China is going to pwn the US in a few years. I know very well that the US isn't going to just go along a pwn China, and it is much much more complicated then that.
Well, AFAIK the Aerospike engines were not a problem with the X-33 and they were tested quite a bit before NASA pulled the plug.
The problem was the composite fuel tanks, BUT! In 2003, northrop actually developed a composite fuel tank to store LH2. Also, the Venturestar was supposed to use metallic fuel tanks but the X-33 couldn't because of it's size.
ok, keep on thinking that China would own the US in a war, then when the actual war comes out you can see how damned ignorant you are.
China itself doesn't WANT to fight the US. Nor are they developing their military to do so. As a matter of fact China won't have anywhere near the CURRENT US militaries capabilities by at least 2030. By 2030, we would have adanced 30 years into the future of military tech, so no worries there. China is aiming for regional superiority, not world superpower status for the next 50 years. Also, almost all military analysts say that by 2050 Japan will be the number one regional power in that region, followed by China.
Yeah there definetly should be. The design being shown in the article is a Re Entry Vehicle with a small habitation module + propulsion module. A Mars version would probablly have a large Propulsion module and Habitation module. As far as landing on the moon goes, I dunno how lockmart wants to do it.
bleh, this is NOT the CEV that is going to the mars. Also, if you didn't notice, the CEV docks to a hab module in the back, so the hab module could in effect be parked nearby the ISS, or somewhere in orbit and reused.
This is a lifting body, it does NOT have wings like the shuttle's. Where the "wings" are on the LM CEV,LOX/Fuel Cells/and other avionics equipment is stored there.
Also, this is NOT the CEV that is going to be going to Mars. The Mars mission isn't until past 2020 and when that happens, the CEV will have been updated quite a bit.
So now, lets have a Capsule vs Lifting body debate!
heh, Europe and China need decades to catch up to the US's current level of military power and technology. And in those decades they spend trying to catch up with us, we will be a few decades ahead again.
=)
Seriously don't take me for an arrogant American, but I get really annoyed when people say that China and Europe are going to be the next powerhouse just to piss off Americanss.(do some research there buddy, China and the EU have a long way to go to catch up to the US)
That is completely retarded, you should not allow a computer program to tell you if your vote is going to count or not. You vote because you want the government to know how you feel about current events.
What you are doing reminds me of this short story from Isaac Asimov, Franchise. In it, people in the US allow a computer to calculate which direction states would go in a vote. So basically, the people don't need to vote because a computer can predict generally where the states will go in the election. Of course, there are some inconsitencies so one person is selected by the super computer from a county that the computer will have the hardest time predicting, and that one person is questioned by the super computer. That one person basically decides the entire election.
It is kind of funny though, Asimov used the United States as his backdrop to the story, but it seems more like it's something thats going to happen in the UK. Sure, in the US they also have polls and they usually try to predict wether a state is going to go republican or democrat, but personally I don't care for their predictions. I will vote because I want them to know who I want running this country.
And of course, I would be a big douchebag if I was trying to generalize the UK election and say that everyone is using that website to decide wether or not to vote, so im not. But I am telling you, forget what that site tells you, go ahead and vote.
Slashdot Mirror
Please enlighten me why?
Is the US supposed to rely on Russia for getting into space now?
Don't Download It!
IT'S A VIRUS!!! ahhh watchout!
that makes sense(what you said that is, not the video surveillance thing)
I mean seriously, what is so bad? Is everyone really buying into that Big Brother Crap where the government is going to know everywhere we go and shiat?

Quake 2 was the best one single player wise.
Maybe this one will be as good?(although that's not saying much heh, better then doom 3 I hope though)
No, the material that makes up the solar sail is going to degrade once it's in space after a while.
The Sail is only supposed to boost it's orbit by about 500km.
have just been pwn3d.
No longer can anyone use the geek in their basement argument.(I know I know, im generalizing, so sue me)

r u like 12 yrs old!?!@1$? i meen who types like this!!?? omfg u r an idiot!!
I can't even spell CHINESE!!
ad-hominem I know, but I never take an argument seriously from someone who doesn't even take the time to spell are, and you.

that is nice coming from a non US citizen who called us the US of Asshole's in a previous post.
hahahaha do you really think that?

Ooops, looks you are the ignorant one here buddy.
and also produces 25% of all goods.
Makes sense doesn't it now? Turn off your selective memory.

A Mars version would probablly have a large Propulsion module and Habitation module. As far as landing on the moon goes, I dunno how lockmart wants to do it.
Wow, did you even RTFA!? The design is the lockheed design. Boeing is going for a capsule based design.
...
you're being completely illogical here.
Also Let's not forget the CEV is designed to go to the moon and mars, not just LEO.
bleh, this is NOT the CEV that is going to the mars. Also, if you didn't notice, the CEV docks to a hab module in the back, so the hab module could in effect be parked nearby the ISS, or somewhere in orbit and reused.

They probablly did and realized they couldn't afford it.
you're an idiot.
TrackIR! It rules for flight simulators, http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/
Allows you to use your headmovement instead of a hatstick to change your view direction in the game!
that just went in one ear, out the other didn't it...
