only the most important scientific discovery in the history of man might be found. Remember this project will be part of a *system* that will find earth-sized exoplanets and then determine atmospheric composition (in conjunction with other projects). Do you realize what free atmospheric oxygen would mean on a world in habitable zone? LIFE. And then suppose optical SETI or some other means found a signal from such a place. what do we want to learn from this indeed.
Looking at the list of directors of LucasFilm movies over the years, one can determine the time of death. 1999, when Lucas started directing again. Specifically, right at the point in the script of TPM when Qui-Gon saves Gungan Jar Jar Binks from being crushed alive.
those of us who grew up with mechanical clocks do. also, nothing artificial about using a quartz regulated electronic time source to kick mechanical hands around; even my quartz clocks go tick tick tick....
exactly, this new satellite will be able to analyze the atmosphere of exoplanets, even the earth sized ones. find one within ten light years with free oxygen, have a breakthrough in controlled fusion....
no, $200M is not a large amount of money; we spend billions to kill and maim innocents for power and wealth; and you're fixated on this chump change?
"pursuing the sciences" has doubled human lifespan, raised the standard of living over the last four centuries, made possible global communication and the storage of mankind's accumulated knowledge. it's worth it.
hole in your logic, in such regimes those huge forces are purposely very dependent on top command. take out command and control and the whole thing turns into a headless chicken

and those well dug in artillery are within easy striking distance of U.S. cruise missiles, smart bombs, etc. they'd be the first thing to go
you forget maintenance of an aging fleet of weapons does require supercomputers, quite powerful ones
you have proof they can? they have a MIPs architecture chip they are perfecting but I haven't heard any done with features below 65nm

his Blake's 7 character Vargas was beamed into space and exploded. Mr. Blessed is 76 but still doing occasional gigs.
not for the last 3 billion years anyway, but possible before that

no, IBM Websphere does that
oh? what kind of motor do they attach to theirs?
God created the 3.5K noise temperature we call the CMB early in 1964 to confound the evil radio astronomers.
wrong, this will bring you up to speed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index#Very_high_human_development
Credit rating isn't the economy. How about Human Development Index, U.S. is #3.
use a vibrating dildo with with wireless remote; with wide adoption could even put the baton industry out of business

over 400,000 Iraq women and children won't be going to bed hungry, because we spent billions of dollars and fucking killed them.
shut up about spending $200M, it's peanuts, no one will be killed, and it might just make the most profound discover in the history of human science.

there are tools for that trivial job, killing living things in a mine is easy....
the U.S. got reputation as tech powerhouse in the 1950s onward, that'd be Eisenhower
those of us who have "analog" clocks and watches are amused; also we'd probably have that smart watch just display analog clock face
only his cigar did
even more surprising, when LaTeX was released in the early 80s, Ronald Reagan was president!
the presence is part of the export and the business model really is working, who's economy is in better shape than the US?
you're confused, exporting war, weapons and death is the business model. we'll go bankrupt if we *don't* do that
