science can be and has been "wrong", scientists welcome a better model or falsification of an accepted one. Letting scientifically ignorant politicians use science to push an agenda invoving restribution of wealth, that is folly.
hypocrite. the use of coal and oil fueled western civilization and increased average human lifespan by over two times, Modern material, medicine, health, food, all the blessing of hydrocarbon fuel. you are alive and well fed because of it. without it you would likely be dead already.
yes, we need to go to something else with little pollution, like well designed nuclear power reactors. but the planet has been made better for humans by fossil fuel
no one has to make you a pet project just because you want one, not even RMS. Maybe no one gives a shit about any of the things you mentioned. get off your dead ass and do something yourself, you lazy fucking git. RMS has done a hundred times the open source project work you will ever do.
sad news for you, web-boy. Being social means interacting with real people in the real world. It does not meaning posting details about yourself to the planet via the internet. Do you have any real friends? do you spend time with them?
turning CO2 back into oxygen is long solved problem, the issue is only to replenish that which is lost. with nuclear reactor (95%+ enriched with 20+ year life) could make oxygen from mar's atmosphere
air and water can mostly be recycled, technology for that done deal long ago. the only issue is replacing that which is lost. with a military-type nuclear reactor (fueled for 20+ years), can make air on Mars and capture water.
no, the argument is "we waste tens of billions killing and maiming others so spending a little on science that benefits the whole human race doesn't matter"
Space is where resources are, there is everything from metals to free energy in space.
get real, for US government with 1+ trillion dollar budget $500,000,000 doesn't even cover copier paper. the money is essentially zero.
you want to talk about saving money, has to be on order of tens of billions of dollars or more or it doesn't even matter. Not fighting wars of choice would be example. Leave the space program and other science that runs on fumes alone
the amount of fossil fuel to get uranium out of the ground is minute, essentially zero compared to the energy it produces. It's paying a penny to get a ten dollar bill. someone who can't do arithmetic brought up that point and ignoramuses have been aping it ever since.
everyone knows sick days are for: 1. hangovers, or continuing benders 2. doing something important or fun that can only be done during workday 3. job interview
but as for going to work and making your boss or asshole coworkers sick, so what? fuck 'em!
resupply would be very easy compared to sending humans in the first place, no practical limit on acceleration and no radiation shielding concerns. Water will be recycled, so only need to replenish that which was lost in cycling. A person needs less than 1.5 kg of food per day, so a ton of preserved (sealed and gamma sterilized) food will feed a person for over three and a half years. we could be talking the need to send resupply every 5 years.
Protocols for human networked space comm are already in design (see recent slashdot article). Fetching news and entertainment content would not be a problem, nor would sending replies to groups on a usenet type server network. Of course, being a pioneer in space exploration means enduring hardship and extreme risk.
a one-way mission is not a suicide mission, resupply is a much easier and less resource intensive operation. You are merely judging more adventurous people, those with a pioneering spirit, by your very sheltered and coddled lifestyle.
wrong, even depleted uranium can be used ALONE as a sole fission source in the right type of reactor that even a third world country can build (e.g. graphite moderated)
Don't knock meth until you've been about five days into a good bender having just finished coding something that ordinarily would have taken a month and find the police local police spouting some nonsense about your shooting an adversary in the back of the head with a 9mm
what a load of garbage, I know some of the 'nam soldiers who had to be hospitalized from using their issued meth. it can cause very serious health problems
since the federal government uses funding state programs to create dependency and to control the states. this is of course unconstitutional, but the average citizen now views the federal government as the saviour, protector, guide. Add to that the fact that the federal government is under control of large mega-corporations, and you can see how we are sliding into a fascist police state.
the 99% is marketing hype by big pharmy. look at real independent studies, anywhere from 40% to 90% in real world depending on manufacturer, process, virus used, etc.
Why do you assume I've had no vaccinations? I have problem with certain manufacturers and processes, but I and family have all legally required ones. Had influenza shot (which are 60%-80% effective in various independent studies) this year too. But you are blindly believing as religious-like act of faith, and moreover on the basis of that willing to force others to conform to your invalid views by violating the sanctity of their bodies.
So typical the "herd immunity" card is drawn out. The truth is more than 1 in ten will not be protected by the vaccine, you do not and will not have herd immunity anyways. It is immoral to force someone to have a foreign substance injected into their body, for the truth is some people are maimed and killed by vaccinations (allergic reaction, improperly deactivated viruses, etc.). You are free get a vaccination yourself and for your children, it will probably work. No one else is your problem.

most of us are self motivated to train and be trained to operate extremely complicated system, as we already do it for a living
maybe you would have no such abilities....
what nonsense: they would just bury the body on mars. plenty of sand and rubble there. problem solved. it will naturally mummify, by the way.
Fortunately Batman's taste has improved with time.
no, he's become less green. the first ran on carbon neutral nuclear power

False! why do you spread an urban legend, a rumor, just because you feel it makes you part of the "right" side of an argument?
Get the facts, right from the US government, mercury is STILL USED and is LEGAL in many vaccines
