so close to zero we may as well say zero. But all IT tech together is using a measureable chunk of fossil fuel. All IT together is about ten percent of electrical consumption, and fossil fuel is used in two-thirds of all electricity production, and forty percent of fossil fuel use is for electricity. So 0.03 percent of fossil fuel use is used by IT tech.
no, water is burned rocket fuel. unburning it requires almost twice the energy you get from burning hydrogen, and even more energy is required to put it in compact state (liquifiying)
that blinding arc is between your ears. we don't need to launch a one-kilometer diameter asteroid to explore space. at least make a straw man, and not a shit mound.
get real, you've just given the proof that groups of both these two individual cats exist elsewhere. these individual cats can't breed, they don't matter.
what would we get from an asteroid that would make space travel possible? anything found in them is common on earth too. earth is a bunch of asteroids and comets that coelesced together.
that's quite an absurd concept you have, that climate change would cause the loss of Earth's human population. not even remotely possible. did Al Gore put that idea in your head? here's a hint, he's a liar, sensationalist and a whackjob. Also a rich hypocrite with twenty times your family's carbon footprint.
I'm surprised by the lack of attention paid to optical seti, it is far more logical than radio wave use. I have seen proposals that the raw kepler data might be mined for optical seti signatures
the Drake "equation" doesn't show anything to be believed, it's a bunch of unknowns chained together that posit exactly nothing. It predicts the number of ET to be 0 or greater.
sorry, post office isn't socialism, only paying customers get to send mail
you should hire some south side Chicago public school employees, functionally illiterate because their teacher are too. public education not working so well in some very large places.
the world you desire is imaginary, pay people not to work and breed like maggots and they will make a criminal class and dangerous slums and always require more and more money. which is what is happening
electricity is made by private companies for paying customers, not the government
the only way to make a space ship go at the speed of light would be to convert it to photons or some other rest-massless particle (and incidentally throwing a twin for every such particle in the opposite direction). we already know how that could be done, via antimatter anhilation, but reassembling the spaceship from massless particles is left as exercise for the student.

asteroids are mostly made of much, much more boring things than that

no worries, we'll have a reader posted at each sign so the cats just have to listen. cats have very good hearing.

what comes out of a rabbit and a 3D printer? hint, small and brightly colored
oh come on, the future of makers looks bright. in fact, it looks like piles of brightly colored yoda heads laying all about the place
no, the volume of kitty litter n municipal waste is negligible, it doesn't matter
you're confused, kitty litter is less than 0.000001% of what goes into any landfill. Also, landfills are filled past ground level
For those things that a spreadsheet does quickly and well, you could waste hours screwing around with Numpy
Windows 8 is like being raped by AOL circa 1996
you are full of shit, this kiler didn't care for fame. and no, I don't remember the names of any of the others, doesn't matter
I'll only point out landfills are started by digging a hole and removing things like clay.
actually, even going 0.99 C time dilation is only 7 to 1. Hit a pebble, your ship will be annihilated
you would have to involve other particles with mass for that to be true, conversation of momentum demands it
clay is as "green" as it gets, pure natural inert material with practically infinite supply

you are so funny, assisting police and not the citizens, that isn't socialism
those "public roads" the ambulances drive on are paid for with local taxes
the post office is for paying customers, not even supported by taxes
no, insurance only for those that held job and paid into system is not socialism.
my assertions thus all have substance, while you prattle nonsense
