Shhhhh...that's supposed to be secret. Suppose he tells Fox News and we are inundated by robots with tiny electronic brains running amok on the streets in preparation for our Mars invasion.
Umm....a small fabrication shop you say? So what, a 3-D printer + raw materials, a drill press and associated gadgets, etc. That's just for starters. We'll be needing some spare parts as well, hard to send home and wait 6 months for them to show up. You'll also be wanting to power these fancy tools. Some solar panels will be needed...errrm...lots of them.
Our toolsmiths will need a place to live, shouldn't be hard, we'll just send along Mr. InflateO, instant Quonset Hut. Umm...heat....we'll need to heat that as well. More solar panels for everyone, gas cylinders are big, heavy (expensive to lift out of the Earth's gravity well), and dangerous. So you'll be needing some fire fighting equipment as well if you want them, also big and heavy.
Food might be problem, there being a dearth of botanical gardens on Mars from what we hear. Water Mars has, as long as the Marstronauts stay close to the poles. Better allot time for collecting water...and defreezing it...more solar panels.
Transportation could also be a problem since Mars has not invested in public transport...taking after the Earthlings is not a recipe for success in the solar system. And that transportation will need to powered since the Flintstone's Family Human Conveyance won't be available. More solar panels, big ones too, Marstronauts are heavy in their Mars suits.
Radiation shielding might be helpful since Mars has no atmosphere. Okay, re-plan, we find a cave to situate our intrepid explorers who get all week-kneed at a bit of radiation, wussies. Of course this will limit their time working 20 times faster than machines, presuming they arrived without getting irradiated on the way there. An unfortunate feature of the solar system is people-hating radiation. We should talk to the Solar System Administrators about fixing this.
Air. Gotta have air for our meat-sacks to breathe. Okay, we'll extract that from the thin Martian atmosphere...More Power, argh, argh, argh. Another layer of solar panels for everyone.
Let's not forget the most important need for human life: waste removal. Polluting the rest of Mars with our exquisitely scented waste is probably going to screwup those biological experiments we like to run looking for Martian life..."Hey, I found it...look, bacteria...oh, never mind, just some eColi, how'd they get here?" That stuff tends to build up over time so we'll need a biological containment unit...a big one, our Marstronauts like to eat well...."Oh the intergalactic laxative will get you from here to there, if shitting is your problem, without a worry or care..." (Donovan).
There you have it, a piece of cake. And they'll get the work done 20 times faster...when they aren't repairing their equipment.
I see you do not live on one of the islands of the Pacific Ocean that is going bye-bye from higher oceans. Gee, sometimes change costs some people money....like their entire nation.
Ah, spoken like a true preacher, say the one of a Church in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay whose island is disappearing. Said the holy man of the cloth, I paraphrase, the world is such a magnificent creation of G-d that man cannot affect it.
Kind of hard to argue with the fish. They cannot speak but they do vote.
Yes they shouldn't be stealing other people's packages. Yet it will only take one thief opening the package in the presence of his 5 year daughter to cause her permanent damage and then it becomes a real crime.
Locking up a 7 year child isn't wrong for you? The head of Homeland Security saying that's what these people get for coming here? Let me guess, you are an Evangelical Christian.
Politically, I think it is worse than this. That idiot is run what used to be the intelligent part of the Republican party out of the party. Now all that is left are Republicans who do not believe in founding American values and would be just as happy with a dictator.
The buzzword is at least 20 years old. I recall when pundits were punditsizing about this way back then. It never happened at least due to technology. Now it probably won't happen due to indifference...except for the elderly. For them, it could be quite useful.
More directly, any activity which doesn't require deep thought means an activity not training your brain to think deep thoughts. Spend enough time on that activity and it crowds out other activity.
The quick test is show one group of kids whizzy math on computers. Let another group of kids work on math problems using pencils and paper. Anyone want to argue the kids with the computers will out perform or even come close to the other group?
"Develop interstellar travel" Stop watching TV, it is bad for you. The closest star to Earth is Alpha Centuri and it is 4.22 light years from Earth. Just a guess, but you won't be going there on your imagined interstellar space ship at the speed of light. If you are lucky, you might get to half that speed. Then there is the speed up and slow down phases. So you might get there in 10 years.
You'll be wanting to bring along a lot of food...you cannot build a space ship that big. So you'll be wanting to grow it which means an entire hanger full of plants and what-not, even plants must eat. That's a mighty massive space ship you are assuming...and you need to get all that mass to half light speed.
I know, you could open up a hyperspace window...oh, except that would mean quite an expenditure of energy and done in such a way that it didn't rip your ship apart.
The point, apparently lost on you, was that the oil companies were pushing the reduced pollution controls, not that a regulated industry lobbies for its own interests.
China has responded, they stole a Canadian and raised the ante by stealing another one. Trump may think this is a one-off, but China will not treat it that way in the future.
Now now, in Trump's defense, he isn't really sure just where Canada is or if it is a country. He thinks it is one of the states in the mid-west, say, just north of S. Dakota, and Trudeau is from France. I'll grant you he isn't sure where France is either, just another province in that amorphous blob called the EU.

And yet Florida rewards the governor who refuse to check the miners with a Senate seat. Florida deserves this.

Because Alexa is one of Satan's demons?
Okay Sat-Nad, just because Windows is a virus magnet doesn't mean others need be as well.
Yeah, that's what we want, a Donny without addled brains.
As soon as asshole leaves office and Putin has not cock-holster running the U.S.
Well, I fine upstanding nation like China will surely abide by any treaty you think you have signed with it.
If this were really a Windows Sandbox, we could stick Windows in it and be so much more safer. I don't think they are shooting high enough here.

Captain Cyborg, is that you? How's the long suffering wife, is she getting better?
"Alexa, I would like a better life, could you please remove yourself and all of your sprogs from my home."

Oh, you mean the low taxes fueled by all that black stuff in the ground. Remove the conservatism and Texas would be doing even better.

Nonsense, just get a bit of time on FOX. You don't even have to time it well, he's got all their time covered.
