Yes Ada is very big in air traffic control and defence. On the system I worked on it was used for all the back end processing, pretty much right up to the user interfaces which are in C and Java. Another system I heard about has the UI in Ada as well.
They do stuff like this and it works because many people have to use linkedin. I will be interested to see what happens when facebook users face the same issue. I personally doubt they will pay the dollar.
The LM has oxygen to recharge the PLSS units for the crew. It has power for a surface stay longer than a transit to Earth. It may not have enough lithium hydroxide cannisters though so if the crew was unable to grab some from the CM (same interface issue as Apollo 13) the PLSSs could possibly be used to scrub the cabin.
Hmmm interesting. It might be an opportunity to simulate my favorite Apollo failure mode. Say the command and service module are lost in lunar orbit before the LM goes to the surface. Can the LM be flow back to an orbit around the Earth, and the crew rescued by the next command-service module in line?
Also note that the Voyager craft only used standard chemical propellants during launch and slingshot affects around various planets to gain the momentum they currently have
Could you get more by slingshotting around the sun?
Generally, if you are going to use your motor you should do it inside a deep gravitational field, so the sun will do fine for that.
Makes me wonder what you could accomplish with a huge bank of ion thrusters and a few fission reactors. I know that you really want to travel light when your thrust is low but I can't see a better way to send a manned mission to Titan.
Its just a box with a lock. He wasn't completely useless. He could memorise a PIN or the location of a key. That sort of thing. The gun safe puts everything you need in one place so in that sense I wonder if it is safer to use one. Maybe a gun safe is more secure against strangers. People breaking in, that sort of thing.
A guy I know who has a gun, its probably illegal now so I won't say who, but he keeps both the gun and ammo hidden and so far apart that nobody else will be able to put the two together.
Maybe "here" is known to the recipient, but the sender doesn't want to include it in the message. He was sent to a location and is reporting on his findings.
If you are in enemy territory sending messages back to your headquarters you want to be able to encode quickly and move fast to avoid capture. If the pidgeon is caught it is going to give away your position (somewhat) regardless of whether its message is decrypted so the strength of the crypto may not be so important to you.

And hope for a redundancy package.

Almost killed my cousin, his wife, by convincing her that chiropractic should replace her insulin.
Sounds like they have an attribute in common.
You last fired this gun 59 seconds ago.

Yeah, but you'll end up in San Francisco in 1986 so it won't do you any good.
Just stay off the LDS.

This is the most sensible thing that I've heard on the situation. Let's mourn the victims, but not let this be a cause to further erode freedom.
Why can't I own hand grenades again?
You need nukes if you ever want to overthrow the Government.
You can run away from an edged weapon.
Maybe just attack the surfaces with an angle grinder.
To be fair I think Adam Lanza could have gotten into a gun safe.

Would a crashing satellite have enough energy to fling it out of its orbit and make it deviate towards earth or moon?
No it would be like an extra air molecule hitting a truck.
Maybe they are pointing to the impressive guidance needed to pass an object at 3.2km range and 10 km/s speed.
When it's independently verified, then I'll believe it.
NASA released a radar image which agrees with the visuals.
