Then I would posit that the first step would be a station or stationary ship, in space, to run a "no movement" drill for the trip to Mars.
If it takes 2 years, then that ship has to last 2 years without any help unless there is an extreme emergency.
That's not a bad idea, with the shuttles' EOL coming up quick, they should get on this. Have a bumper number of Soyuz resupplies, and take up as much resupply as you can with the remaining shuttle launches, get 6 new 'nauts up there and let them stew for 2 years or as long as you can before sending up another Soyuz resupply.
I disagree. Those whom we would label terrorist are the least likely to label what they are doing terrorism. They likely consider it duty or calling. If you want to use generalizations, clichés and stereotypes they may view it as a jihad.
I imagine a post would go something like:
<Deity/> himself will lead them, for they will be doing His work. There will be absolution and remission of sins for all who die in the service of <Deity/>. Here they are poor and miserable sinners; there they will be rich and happy. Let none hesitate; they must march next summer. <Deity/> wills it!
1758, genus name of a type of eight-armed cephalopod mollusks, from Gk. oktopous "eight-footed," from okto "eight" (see eight) + pous "foot." Proper plural is octopodes, though octopuses probably works better in English. Octopi is from mistaken assumption that -us is the L. noun ending that takes -i in plural.
AFAIK they have been working on VASIMR for over a decade now... This isn't exactly "news"
I think you're mistaken, "news" and "new" aren't the same thing. If you're pining for something "new" in this "news" it's the fact that they passed a significant milestone last week.
Note: If English isn't your first language and you're mistaking "news" as the plural of "new" (which usually doesn't have a plural as it's not generally used as a noun) disregard.
Some studies have said that any phone conversation is a distraction, hands free or not, more so than if there's another occupant in the vehicle, because the second set of eyes are also alert for dangers, whereas the person on the other end of the phone is entirely unaware of the situation on the road in front of you.
Don't forget the US is still a young country, we think 517 years ago history began. Nobody did anything before Christopher Columbus ended up in this hemisphere. So in response to your claims of childishness, all I have to say is: I know you are, but what am I?
Pulsars are your measuring instruments. They feed back their measurements as a periodic electromagnetic signal. Since the period, per pulsar, is standard any deviation could indicate a measurement to be researched. Pulsars are distributed roughly equally throughout the galaxy, so in theory we can use the entire galaxy as our observatory.

I've seen that movie, it's call "The Manchurian Candidate"
Totally off topic.
You do it too.
I've resorted to spelling throw as through for some damn reason and I can't figure it out.

But who cares about Canada anyway.
Eh! Canada's not a joke!
Fixed that for you.
Why not? We deal with a round of shitty movies every year anyway.

Amsterdam - Vondelpark.
New York - Central Park
etc.
That sentence is really disturbing if you jumble the words.
They wouldn't really be mutants, maybe amazing, fantastic or incredible, but not mutants.
Since videos aren't coming out on vinyl, I'm guessing that the meaning of LP has changed.
You need better hallucinogens.
No thanks, then I'd be hearing crap like post #29706113, reading it is bad enough.

Broken link.
Priuses (Priusi?)
Prii. (Radius -> Radii, Octopus-> Octopi)

But now Everlast doesn't eat pig cause it's not halal.
Yep, writing medical device software is an exercise in death by paper cuts.
Coating the inside of your heat transfer pipes with a thermal insulator is like masturbating with sandpaper - it might work, but it doesn't work well.
Tell that to Pinocchio.
I got into that argument of semantics about 17 years ago in high school, she said rape meant the sex act, I said it could mean forcibly carried away.
She kept arguing so I raped her all the way to the dictionary.
Too soon... I just drank a large soda and hadn't urinated yet.
It was covered a week ago and 5 days ago, they were testing if RFC 1149 was faster than South Africa's largest telecom's broadband, turns out it was.
Don't be a dick unless you're 100% positive you're right, even then, google it just to make sure.
