Allow these water bears to reproduce, and take them back up. Rinse lather repeat, and we will have creatures capable of surviving long durations in space.
So... the moon has an advantage because of lower gravity. Then you propose a space-elevator (a fantasy at this point). So, then the Earth loses its disadvantage because you can now get stuff off cheaply. If you can do that, you would be better off transporting stuff up to a space station, building there and forget about the moon base.
The same people that say the space program is a waste of time, money and effort are the same people who complain that technology doesn't move fast enough. A lot of fallout from space technologies end up helping the world - water recycling is a BIG one. If you spent more than 5 minutes glossing over space flight you'd realise this.
And what in the hell did this have anything to do with what I posted? You blabbered about the big advantage of a moon base, and I asked you what it was. You still haven't made a case for one.
And how do the spaceships get to the moon in the first place? If you are suggesting manufacturing there, then I think you have very little grasp of the complexity.
Okay, but as it sucks in the atmosphere, wouldn't it get more massive? And would it not continue to pull in more and more mass as time went on? Or am I missing something?
The title says "every", the summary says 13,000 objects. Is this really complete, or are there objects that are not tracked (or at least not disclosed)?
Um..... no it isn't the same at all. If our PhD is in fact, the one writing the codes, then fine. In your example, it would be a finance professor stepping into a teller role for the day. He happily accepts a deposit of $25,000 in cash, not realizing he needs to fill out the appropriate "suspicious activities" form required by the government.
I agree with what you said, except for one small nitpick..Which is to say Joe Bob with his Master Electrician badge is more fit to wire your house than a guy with a PhD in electrical engineering who has 20 years experience in the field
Joe Bob may be better qualified. Code changes from year to year, and I doubt an electrical engineer is going to be up one specifics of what gauge wire is appropriate for a given number of electrical outlets to feed, or how far the circuit breaker must be from the gas line. The electrical engineer undoubtedly would have a better theoretical understanding, but I would not want him wiring my house.
No, sorry. By then, our currency will have dropped in value even more. Our wages will be on par with the Taiwanese. On the positive, the goods we ship to our Chinese overlords will be that much easier.
First: My reply to you was very rude. I apologize for the tone of it.
I guess in my mind, there is no difference between Google's "beta" and a full release. I would be hard pressed to figure out anything that would differentiate their gmail service "beta" and a Version 1.0 of another product.
Now, Google can do whatever it wants with branding (I don't pay for it). But, at the same time, I do. I am Google's product in a way. 90%+ of their money is advertising. Without me and you, they have no market. They entice me and you to be there market with products like these. At some point, that may change, but that is the landscape right now.
So, can I complain? Sure. The same as I can complain about Microsoft. The beta tag doesn't mean beta to me.

lay awake in bed at night wondering the same thing, cold sweat running down my face as I count down the seconds until the release of Ubuntu 17.10
In English, there are more than 17 letters.
until version 24 comes out....

That's the beauty of it. You will never know!
My SBDs will blow THEIR doors off.
Damn. Sorry, I obviously had a McCain moment.

Congratulations on supporting the party that added over 4 Trillion in debt in only 8 years. Four more years, I say.

A permanent moonbase has one significant advantage: low gravity.
It's much easier laucnhing stuff deep into space if it's built and launched in low gravity
Launch what?
Shouldn't this be in the idleispants section?
On Slashdot, I can mention [abusive language filtered] or even [abusive language filtered], why can't I do it on [abusive language filtered]?
Total [abusive language filtered], I say.

What if that black hole got pulled into the earth by a collision?

... just imagine what manifestation the new V!ag@ spam will take on.
I won't tell you about my 8-track player then, I guess... The Partridge Family collection came with it.

and you visit Slashdot anyway.

So you drop price when demand is higher? That is something I have a hard time believing.

There are faces in porn?!
Yup. This is why the US trade deficit was $708 Billion last year, or about $2,300 per American.
