Precisely one of the points about Mars and other places outside of Earth. Without reaching to them, life will die out. We're in the phase of first small steps in ensuring it won't.
Catastrophic failures during descent didn't really reach Mars...
The shortest lived mission that touched down was the very first lander - Soviet Mars 3 probe. Stopped transmitting after around 20 seconds (but the data that were sent and external observation suggest it had the misfortune of landing in extreme dust storm)
Phoenix Mars Lander is no failure. It was known it will cease operations quickly (might even have been under CO2 icecap during winter)
In response to #3 you wrote that he should be glad the platform made his debugging skills largely obsolete, that he should get on with the times, and so on.
Yet, it #8 you write that he can continue to deal with something that shouldn't be such a pain in the a** to begin with, nowadays.
At the beginning of Serenity there's a map though with one huge planetary system (and no explanation why the outer planets appear to be the hottest ones usually, even with the least amount of terraforming, oh well...)
...burning coal leads to smog and greenhouse gas emissions...
And radioactive emissions in the amount far surpassing nuclear power plants (yes, that includes Chernobyl). There is a lot of radioactive materials in thousands of tonnes of coal used per day, per one power plant. They were safely stored, but coal power plants simply release them to biosphere...
It doesn't need to achieve escape velocity. Earths exopshere, the outermost region of the atmoshpere spanning to about 200 000 km, is mainly hydrogen, with some helium. Thermosphere below it also isn't very representative of the mixture of gasses people usually indetify as our atmosphere. That's where the lightest gasses end up.
Don't forget to mention that Helium-3 and Tritium are one of the lightest gases in existence (and "leeching" through containments strongly implies gaseous form, I suppose)
Once they are in biosphere, they basically just go up.
Hm, technically EDGE falls under 3G speeds, just. But generally 3G networks built on top of existing GSM infrastructure are still often taken under "GSM" umbrella.
That doesn't make activities inspired by them artistic. Any more than in case of...pretty much any other influence on us.
But with a twist in case of drugs - they are becoming the actor behind hallucinogenic art, not artists mind. That suggest the latter is quite shallow in those cases.
Evolution doesn't care much about the means, or what would be most effective. It cares about who survives.
We might yet be destroyed by Teletubbies-looking army of terminators whose only weapon consists of spreading (fabulously feeling, because that's sooo great) drugs on us. For free. While that plan doesn't seem like the most sensible course of action, perhaps enough of a super-AI can pull it of.
The engine can run at constant RPM, at which it is by far most efficient; in typical cars not only this isn't the case, but the severity of losses greatly depends on the driver.
...I have a hard time believing it's the constituent components, and not the emergent pattern.
It's probably somewhere in between (if understanding "constituent components" as relatively simple blocks giving particular functionality, each "generation" building on simpler blocks). Hypotheses relying primarily on emergent patterns...well, I'll put it his way: I absolutely love holographic theory of brain. Adore it. It's mindbogglingly beautiful.
And...our current evidence suggests it's most likely incorrect.:(
As a matter of fact, wasn't there an incident with "leak" of few hundred photos from his personal Facebook profile? Why can't I access them?
Better yet, he should spearhead new glorious times without any privacy! What are the addresses of webcams streaming his every moment? Can I have read-only access to his mailboxes/IM & SMS archive?
That mostly signifies how relatively efficient are processes on which our bodies rely, in regards to density of information and computation. Much more than our current silicone-based systems.
But both are far from possible maximum theoretical densities, efficiency. And you have a lot of "randomness" deep down...

Or what is useful about a newborn child? It can't survive without special care even for a few days.

How does that lead to the US waste on military being not far from half of planetary military budget?
It's not simply about printf...

And far more from all the radioactive atoms released into the biosphere in the process of burning coal/etc.

(as the topic says)
Apply your interpretation of 3 to point 8.
Seriously, why the sudden 1800 degree turn?

Or they just make you convinced in that.
What will happen if somebody puts a vibrator into love robot?...
What does that make our world?...
Airborne clouds of uber-LSD/etc. seem more fitting to such AI. We will be even happy while dehydrating ourself to death.

Plus you can use regenerative breaking.
Subsidized prices are meaningless. iPhone 3GS is available in T-Mobile in Europe for free with a contract.
