Not to mention that the lunar pioneers/pilgrims will need to be born and raised.
I was a kid for Apollo and had a Apollo themed party for my 6th birthday. Kids my age wanted to be astronauts then. Any kid that is under 10 is at the right age if they want to sign up and focus their life to be in the history books.
The prophets of 1970 said: -We would be out of oil by now -Our forests would be gone by now(Remember those commercials - the one with the little girl walking with her grandfather that were wearing gas masks and they were in a dry river bed and she says "Grandaddy, what was it like to have trees?") -The ozone hole will get larger and eventually allow kill 80% of life on the planet -Mercury poison will kill all the fish (Fictional movie about it)
People like me who have been through this crap before are now cynical. Are there some serious environmental concerns? Sure, but it doesn't match the propaganda. The upcoming breed of kids are taking it for hook, line and sinker. Along the same lines but different category, Uri Geller has a whole new audience to fool now and the kids today will probably think that he was some sort of magician like that other loser, Chris Angel. Uri Geller was a fake and no one will remember.
I'd actually like to learn how to make the models that Joe Johnston and the other early crew at ILM made. I'm sure that some tank and airplane model parts and a dremel tool come in handy but damn, the detail on the X-Wing and Falcon models is just crazy.
Being that the US doesn't have an efficient way of getting up to the station anymore, it makes sense. I doubt that Russia sends up a capsule and has everybody check the outside of it once docked. Kind of counter productive.
"Hey, those Yanks are coming again. When they get here, stop what you doing and let's inspect their hull."
I hope that mankind (meaning free as in beer) benefits from all the research done on the station and not the host countries.
Back in the AT&T days (pre 1982) when all phone outlets were 4 conductor and pulse was the norm, all 4 wires were used. I had a phone outlet in my room but but no phone and I used to listen to my sister's telephone conversations (like a little brother would do) by hooking up a speaker to the bottom 2 terminals. I figured out that I could pulse dial my friends by tapping on the terminals and use another speaker for a microphone.
Back then, you just couldn't get another phone without parental approval because phones were leased and no one had a phone sitting around so I used old tape recorder parts.
I'm sure location also plays a factor as to why that limit isn't published.
Cox's network has 12M in some areas (mine) and 3M to 7M in others with regards to speed.
If they publish 90Gig as a limit, it may tax a 3M network if 40% of users were utilizing 90% of it versus 90Gig not being as much of a burden on a pipe 4 times larger.
You hate Flash but the mass market is able to use it problem free - even easier than using Windows. Video sharing would not be where it is today without it. A FOSS solution did not make it in time and no matter what could replace it on technical merits, it will not matter. At best, an encoder tool would have to be free and the plugin would have to be bundled with the browser. That way it would encroach like Mozilla's market share on IE.
Flash is the de facto media player henceforth. When MS Office gets dethroned as the de facto office format or Adobe does something stupid about patents or DRM, then I'll believe that a different solution is better for video sharing for the mass market.
That's the point I'm trying to make. Maybe we're still in the raft stage and still rowing. Maybe we still think that longer or fatter oars are the way to go and haven't discovered how to properly sail (not implying the solar sail technology) and have a hull that can last and preserve human life. The other part of the equation is that humans are selfish and we want whatever space travel we come up with to have a journey from point A to point B to happen within 20 years. Space travel is tricky and I'm excited about all aspects of it. Our knowledge of the cosmos is about the same or less than that of the navigator that didn't know the ends of the earth centuries ago. It would be nothing to send our seeds off in a rocketship and hope it lands somewhere - suggesting that we figure out how to survive a state of cryptobiosis. It doesn't really do US any good and it probably doesn't help out the community. WE want to discover. At best, we want our children to discover but it stops there because that is the generation we can control.
I don't know but the boat is pretty much the same vessel after several thousand years. Carts are pretty much the same all over too.
Maybe the space thing needs to be rethought as it has with the elevator. Maybe re-entry should take a week instead of minutes. Hundreds of years ago, it took months to cross the Atlantic. We figured out how to do it faster.
The past 30 years of space travel seems to have been on a downward slope from the first 20 years and this 30 years is based on the science discovered of the first 20.
I had to leave town and usually leave Thunderbird up and running to filter my mail on my IMAP account so my laptop syncs without having to redo all the filters I have in place. After no reboot on Tuesday I was relieved that I wouldn't have an issue with a down T-bird unless the power went out - which never happens unless I leave town (happened only once before). Sure enough, none of my mail is filtered after Thursday. Come home this morning and see "Your computer has been recently updated" balloon.
When I lived in Hawaii, I grew up with Go Ranger, Kamen Rider, Inazuman, Raydeen, Mazinger, and Robocon - the happy little family robot with robot friends and is afraid of cockroaches.
American TV was sorely lacking, once Transformers and Voltron hit, I'd seen it better before. I actually got exposed to Ambassador Magma (Space Giants) when WTCG/WTBS carried it in the 80s in the states.
I liked how Outland dealt with the subject; just have the guys explode making a mess in their spacesuit. Can you imagine being the next guy to use that suit?
"Uh, sorry but Jeff thought that tarantulas were crawling in his suit so he pulled his air line and exploded. We cleaned it the best we could."
That's why the media is the way they are. Sometimes they interject personal opinion which is wrong but it's the Bill of Rights. If they could just report on the simple `Who, What, Where, When, How, and Why` instead of `We Think, We Feel, People should` we would be better for it.
There are those that want to take away those rights and most people do not know what they are nor do they care.
Picars wasn't a wuss. It's that Troi was only fitting for eye candy, LeForge was useless but likable, the whole ensemble would have run in fear of the Mugato and the Horta. TNG didn't get watchable until the Borg showed up and NONE of the TNG cast can hold a candle to the screen presence of Shatner.

Yeah, 1996 called, they want their virus distribution back.
I guess the researchers at Georgia Tech were 11 and younger when this was done before.

That's the problem with 98.6% of a file, you can only share that much of it.
Some phishing sites are hacked(compromised) sites with hidden subdirectories.
That wouldn't work.

My guess is that he wasn't black, mexican, or jew enough.
Get an eBook and they'll never know what you're reading.

IE used to be an 'optional' download - back when Netscape came in a box and was $49.95.

Last I checked, Visual Studio only runs on Windows.
Actually, you can't have Spock without McCoy or Kirk.
Kirk for the, uh, whatever, and McCoy for the racial banter.

That's when the patches occurred.

It's Otters vs. Scientists all over again.

It's the Bill of Rights. They have their right.

Air pressure and altitude also play a factor.

I'd have Kirk watch my back any day.
