No they aren't. V and W are two different sounds. Certainly in the language of Volkswagen (a convenient instance of both of them here; just...say it) or Slavic ones (where V often doesn't really exist in local alphabet - but when it is pronounced for some reason, it's typically closer to F or at least distinctly between)
So...what was his...lenght? The perfect one. Such benchmark could solve that issue once and for all...
(and perhaps could be extrapolated from Holy Prepuce, once we'll recover it / decide if it's the true one; shit, I should be harshly excommunicated now:/ )
Is that why it's most popular among certain...sinful group of men? (I can hardly believe that, for once, this might be funny and ontopic instead of troll)
Strapping wings to a human might be fun there one day... (except for the cold; but perhaps an RTG + a fairly typical cooling garment, from an astronaut suit, but working as warming garment, will do)
Not finding life on any of half dozen candidates in our system alone might be actually quite puzzling / very significant in regards to "finding out more"... nvm having different life to study.
The test flight of a prototype of this UAV, in conditions analogue to Mars, was possible thanks to lifting it there via a balloon... (that's the height where amateur efforts top out - 10 or 20km higher is not unheard of with more serious efforts)
You'd just faint from asphyxia. While stretching of skin due to pressure difference, sudden bends or damaged lungs (especially if trying to hold breath) might be painful - if you'd depressurize the airlock or suit slowly enough, it's something that's hard to notice (and indeed claimed some airplanes)
I don't know, his post seems to be very firmly in the land of small, automotive engines (also - early 2 stroke diesels most likely were much simpler? And much less efficient, but still probably more than petrol). Plus - automotive diesels are still, in practice, notably more efficient from petrol engines.
I'm not mixing anything, you are just not aware that, with some (not too hard) effort, we do produce sterile lab animals - microbes are normally picked up only after (well, during too) birth. Useful for research about role of intestinal gut flora (and yeah, why such sterility could be problematic - though I wouldn't be surprised if not too far from current public health issues due to bad eating habits)
Never for file pages. Still too often not for article pages (seems it's also about some punctuation marks looking benign / identical to more valid ones, and so they remain & can give nasty surprise)
Though we are sterilizing landers, just to be safe (I wonder how that will look with eventual manned exploration - we can produce sterile lab animals, but...) - and tenuousness of Martian atmosphere means even a miniscule additions make a noticeable difference (like that methane mystery - which, in the end, represents an exceedingly small amounts)
With all the monthly news on Slashdot of cheap amateur helium-filled balloons reaching 30+ km (conditions similar to Mars) it's suddenly barely possible and definitely won't work? (while we almost did it over a decade ago)
The conditions are comparable to 30+km altitude on Earth. Something a balloon can do easily, and we might do it one day, if we cared (glider might do it, so small low-powered UAV certainly)
And TFS is incorrect - at this point ARES explores also propeller propulsion, electric or ICE.
Not really... asteroids / extinct comets should give a plentiful source of water, which doesn't need to be lifted from very deep gravity well. Not a shortage of it on the Moon too.

What? Suddenly related to Iranians or Arabs?! Lies!
...W is double-vee in most languages that use the character...
How so?

Most of interesting stuff shows up in him.
USB does try hard though...now at SuperSpeed revision...SS...in many places that still resonates strongly with Schutzstaffel (also...)

Diablo was released for the Playstation. Not a bad version, too - analogue movement (vs. 8-directional) felt really nice.

"Extremely small"? Just look at payloads quoted - the drone from TFA will most likely carry less (for just an hour)
What didn't work for past attempts was primarily the funding - something the UAV project also has big and longstanding problems with.

Lack of external oxygen doesn't preclude ICE, as many torpedoes and some submarines have demonstrated.
Such winds would be a good thing, allowing exploration of vast area over the course of a week or so.
