It was a relatively small meteor, but bigger asteroids repeatedly hit the Earth, and it will happen again. There is no doubt of it, the question is when.
Plants do not need oxygen at all, it is even poisonous for them in a way. In principle, they may turn a planet without oxygen into a habitable planet. But this technology does not exist yet.
It is true. However, there should be a development of a technology to live on other planets, otherwise the humanity would be too vulnerable in case of an asteroid impact. What may and will happen sooner or later.
+ In a prison he will walk outdoors every day for an hour.
- In a prison he will have to eat a food and medications which are given to him. So there could be significant personality changes for a ridiculisation.
+ In the embassy he has got the Internet access.
- No outdoors walks whatsoever in the embassy. And it is very hard.
In the beginning the rails were made toothed, as cogwheels. How could a train drive on even rails? It will just skid, right?
Or if a patient has got a high temperature, just put her into the bath with cold water and temperature will drop. Seems to be easy but it does not work this way.
Common sense logic is not good enough, mathematics, testing, science are required.
Such huge towers with rotating pharaonic blades to air-condition ten thousand square meters private houses dwarfs the RC hobby both in energy scale and in the danger for manned aircraft.
Modern architecture makes it possible to construct a comfortable house where only about a hundred square meters are air-conditioned (heated) and the rest are open areas, patio, etc.
If it was enforced with the law we could keep the air space as it was created. It could be continued to be enjoyed by birds, aviators, hobbyists, etc. and not encumbered with such ugly technical structures.
But due to psychological projection it is hard to change anything. Psychological projection, also known as blame shifting, is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unpleasant impulses by denying their existence while attributing them to others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
They forbid flying RC models with tiny propellers and instead install such monsters. There is more than enough generating capacity for decades to come, if we start producing electricity by saving it.
It could be further LED lamps research & development, limiting air-conditioned and heated areas in houses by the law, limiting weight of the cars, etc. We spoil our space for living by these ugly generators so that lazy people may continue to over-eat in luxury.
In my opinion, an alliance between Russia, Iran, China, India, Vietnam, etc. will define the future. Iran is the ancient civilization. Many concepts and inventions, which we use daily nowadays, were created by the human genius in the ancient Persia.
In comparison, the EU project, or even the US project, have got a serious weakness, - littleness. Eurasia has got 54 million square kilometers of territory, 5 billion population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Firstly a modern railway network connecting the whole Eurasia, Americas, Africa should be built. Thousands of tunnels, bridges, etc. It will be the work for millions. But for this there should be a leadership in the world. The problem with current leadership is again - the littleness.
I think it is a good idea to cooperate with Iran in space and in other domains.
For fighting savages - maybe. But in a conflict with peers or near-peers the UAV technology would fail massively due to the radio-link inherent vulnerability.
Jamming, GPS spoofing, break-ins, etc. are real.
Besides, military drones create a really bad nefarious image for civil drones too. And by this causing a great harm to the world economy, as the UAV (RPAS) is promising and realistic technology in many domains of civil industry.
"Great USA" returns from... what exactly? Red scare 50's? Vietnam nuke-testing 60's (although the moon landing was cool...)? Gas-crisis disco 70's? Roth-era Van Halen Reagan Hardcore Punk 80's? Grunge? Be more specific. I don't remember any golden-age USA so much I want Trump to bring it "back" (although I miss the hardcore).
Donald Trump said that America has been mismanaged, the same as Europe. I hope American people elect Donald Trump, and the Great USA, as we knew it, returns back.
... the old Soviet space program, but I'm not sure any of that is contained in the article you linked to, which seems to be about the Baikonur Cosmodrome itself.... a modern space program should exclusively use 1950's technology...?
Baikonur was an international effort, people of many nationalities worked there. I was a student of a mathematician who participated in the calculation of the first Earth's artificial satellite orbit in 1957. And I saw on TV the SpaceX's team chanting: "USA, USA,...", after a partial success last time.
Trust me, these people will never do any innovation even remotely in the league of what was done in 50s at Baikonur. Those engineers and scientists, who really did it in 50s, worked for humanity, for science, and for SpaceX employees it seems to be like a cheap football match.
The problem with a rocket fuel explosion is that its detonation could burn out oxygen in an area, and there could be as a result unpredictable pressure fluctuations, which could hurt humans. Let alone the risk of starting a fire. Obviously, for a landing they keep quite an amount of fuel in reserve. It is impossible to land an aircraft with zero fuel exactly.
In my opinion, it is safer to burn all the fuel high in the air and use the abundant clean energy of gravity for landing.
It seems there is no better technology to fly to the Space as the one developed at Baikonur in 1957 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Get over it, and just keep copying what the Great Engineers and Scientists built. It was not patented.
In the last discussion someone wrote that there is almost no fuel inside while it is landing. I see that there is a lot of fuel to explode even after landing.
If it deviates from a course while landing (what a hundred or two of kilometers for such a vehicle) and falls on a densely populated are, the damage may be significant. A parachute landing of an empty parts looks safer to me.
Piloting a multirotor or fixed-wing UAV requires years of training. It takes 3 - 4 months just to learn take-off and landing.
Being a pilot of a manned aircraft is not a transferable skill, as a pilot is not sitting in the UAV cabin and is not looking forward.
Let them try to land an UAV hundred meters away on a certain spot. Good luck.
If someone has got enough dedication, discipline, aptitude to become a pilot capable to take off, fly, and land an UAV he/she will not be a terrorist in the first place.
I have an impression that the capital of Western Roman Empire just moved to the D.C.
It still includes Gaul, Visigoths, Britannia, the border still fluctuates along Danube river.
Now the North Korea. Is it really necessary to include it too? Why for a change not to allow this people to have their own history? Let them sort out their issues themselves.
... It did not help matters that the Russian Space Agency was rife with corruption and mismanagement that seems to prevail across much of Russian society....

A criminal may just throw the damaging items into the air with a low-tech catapult. No need for a drone to commit a crime.
Nobody does it, however, because it is clear to anyone that it is a heineous crime to interfere with a taking off aircraft, and that it will not be just couple of months in prison at all.
In Europe an UAV may fly 5 km outside an airport and up to 150 meters. But six miles is almost 10 km. And how can they measure exactly, as the jam distance may depend on meteorological conditions. Sometimes it could be less, sometimes more.
If Airbus jams the drone’s communications, the drone may fly unpredictably. It may accelerate and damage property on the ground or even hurt people.
Basically Airbus takes control of the drone on itself, and with it comes the responsibility.
There was not a single serious accident with a drone (the one which you see on youtube is a fake). Because UAV pilots are not stupid. When we hear the sound of a low flying helicopter or airplane, we just decrease the UAV's altitude. And now they take it from us based on a phantasm.
