A very interesting post. Any other cool tidbits gleamed from your father?

About this station? Almost nothing. Secret thing, you know.
As for Mir and ISS stations i can tell a lot of interesting stories.
One thing i can tell you - Energia Corp now workin on Mars mission.
But wouldn't you like to be working on EA at the moment when they change the practices for the better? Because after this moment, you won't stand a chance in the competition of 100 people per position.
Windmills bleed off some of the kinetic energy from this process, as such, they're almost guaranteed to slow the process of pumping heat from the equator to the poles.
They will rather slow process of pumping cold from the poles to the equator. On average warm air which is moving towards the poles is higher than the cold air moving from the poles to the equator.
Cellphone ubiquity rivals China.
It could be true in big cities (5mln+), but it is not so in general. Do you people hike at all?
Daily banking? 7/24 by machine, internet, or telephone.
Same is true for most of western countries, Japan and China, but it can't rival with open branches on weekends. Didn't you notice the long lines?
No free exercise machines, but planty of parks, jogging trails, and those exercise stations wit chinup bars, etc.
So? Are you claiming that Canada or China lack parks?
I have yet to purchase trousers that did not include any required alteration.
Apparently you are of very common size. Have you ever shopped for a petite size? Those 0-1 size or XS or petite are for some reason long enough for a 6'2'' person.
Do all processors share 13TB? Because if they don't the bottleneck is that subprocesses have only 13TB/1024 available ( a mere 13GB each), and still have to communicate a lot.
As usual in capitalist world, they put monetary equivalent for the obligations. A couple of years ago Russia was behind their obligations, which put them at ~$60-70mln in debt. Since they didn't have money to compensate, they used barter. Namely, Russian cosmonauts worked on American projects aboard ISS. I don't know exact figures, but they charged $500/hour or so. Russia have also been repaying their debt in the last months by supplying their Soyuzes. Their outstanding balance became officially $0 after that work they did to fix the break circuit in American segment of the ISS (I read somewhere that they charged 500 of work hours for that job).
From then on NASA has been falling behind. Since Congress prohibited paying cash to Russia, they will use barter again. Now American taxpayers should expect astronauts to work on Russian projects.

Burning untold seas of rocket fuel can probably produce more energy than nuclear reactors.

By the same principle as ancient civilization knew it was ancient.

From a PC infrastructure point of view I can easily see support for these devices being integrated right into the Mac.

Should read: " total investments are $24.65 billion, could be up to $75bln."
And what cost can you put behind displacement of nearly 2 million people and loss of agricultural land?

I have RTFA. I just tried to be sarcastic.
