I don't see Iran going to the American with: "Hi, we would like to put our spy satellite in orbit. We want to know what you are up to in our region of the world. Can you help us?"
Send it as a telecom satellite. Claim it is a faulty one and unresponsive. it may be your first, who will doubt you make an error. The next one can be a success.
Leave it there for a few month. Then drop it on your target.You can leave the empty shell in orbit if someone is really looking for it.
Nobody would be able to make the connection. Unless some of the techies who build the device talk.
It comes in a 5 wires cables. 3 phases, a neutral and the ground. Out of wich you can get 3 different, Slightly dephased normal 230V.
I know that because I was almost electrocuted trying to do just that for a Xmas party at University in a Parking facility. The beer pumps needed normal outlet whil the parking had triple phase one. Someone connected the cable to the power while I was I finishing at my end. No harm done, just a little shock.
In vacuum, many materials will sublimate. Also keeping your container vacuum tight for 50 years will be a big challenge.
Innert gas like nitrogen is relatively cheap and as the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the vesel will be minimised, you have a better chance to maintain the atmosphere inside.
The biggest challenge will be to remove all traces of humidity which will be the killer fof any equipment.
On a routine basis, I doubt that many general or whoever can make decision and give order,... fly for several days at a time in those planes.
For one the awacs has an active radar, it is easy to know where it is so they are relatively easy targets.
You don't want to fill it with your top command. Air Force One will be much more discreet while communicating with the AWACS and the people corrdinated from the AWACS.
The mix you will obtain from a LCD may means that it is not possible to mix hundredth of LCD together to automatically extract the rare metals by melting it while it is possible to do it with the ore found in some mines.
Also a ton of LCDs may contain much less of the valuable stuff than a ton of ore.
Is a space real estate with very good value. It is a little more than a volume of space as emission rights come with them.
The International Telecommunication Union manage the satellites. http://www.itu.int/net/about/index.aspx. Some states may reserve the usage of some slot but they have to use the frequency not to block other nation to use it. e.g. even they were very late in thei rproject, the Gallileo project had to launch test satelite to use the frequence at a certain date or they would have lost the frequency.
If you were just selling the frequency, some big pocket state/people would buy them and would not have anymore money left to use the frequency. 3G in europe anyone?
When we will have commercial space flight and I talk here real space flight (reaching LEO orbit) then we may need a body like that for the moon. Up to then, any development will be centered on a few location choosen by the big space agencies who will ibnstall the basic infrastructure like an 'oxygen extraction plan'.
PS: If you could buy the moon! who would collect the money? To do what? The UN to help poor countries go to the moon?
Using 15J, 15 fs means we have a better fireing rate than when you need to accumulate 1000 times more energy. The cooling time between shots is much shorter, so any study you want to do, can be done faster.
The Central Laser Facility in the UK has a laser Astra-Gemini that will produce a greater intensity on target. It is a dual beam laser with a repetiton rate of 3 shots per minutes.
The building to house this laser is like a small house but with a shielded room for the target area.
- Astra- Gemini : 15 J on target in 30 fs : Single Beam Intensity to 10^22 W/cm2.
- OMEGA EP : 1 kJ in 1 ps; on-target intensities of greater than 2 x 10^20 W/cm2.
the pico second ignition should be called slow ignition compared with 30 femtosecond.
could probably poduce enough fuel for several years.
You would have to collect the depleted uranium from the 'non nuclear arsenal' but grouyoping that and using special generator to transfer the uranium into plutonium and then using it again. It can probably last a relatively long time.
Another point. Are all the residents of the town use electric car?
Pressurized does not means you can put people there, it means that you can put things that are not designed to sustain vacuum like food packages,vial fullof microbes, etc...
but it's drawing exactly what the object actually looks like.
Exactly may be a little strong word to use at this scale. Heisenberg and the quantum mechanics people would disagree.
There is a small probability that the object is in fact completely different than what you measured.
In fact, there is a very small chance that what you were measuring have tunneled somewhere else.
The title comes from the article that is linked at the bottom.
If we were talking about software, the fact that key information that are relatively easy to get had to be kept secret would be deemed very poor design and would be scorn upon by the people on slashdot. It is security/privacy by obscurity.
It should not matter that you bank account is lost by the government on a DVD, because if the system was properly design, the only thing people could do with such information would be to give you money. Not take some out without your permission or get a loan under your name.
It is true that without identification that are difficult to falsify, it is difficult to open bank account without having to rely on personal information that criminal can easily get.
Never wonder that identity theft were much more a problem in countries that do not have an Id card?
Some of the JPL interstellar probes use highly enriched fissile material as energy source.
What someone can do with that is much more exceptional than what an FBI agent could do if it stoled a kilo of heroin from one of his heist.
Answering Yes to the question did you ever smoked marijuana may not disqualify you (especially if you didn't inhale!) but answering No while all your friends of University can testify that you did will disqualify you.
Same as being into S&M, going to Las Vegas for the Cirque du Soleil show only, liking pineapple on your pizza,...
Is a good example of an international body with a set of laws, court and penalties.
A State can decide to change its tariff but then he will pay the price.

True, if you get killed waving a gun around.
It would be harder to stole your identity using the data from the laptop.
I don't see Iran going to the American with: "Hi, we would like to put our spy satellite in orbit. We want to know what you are up to in our region of the world. Can you help us?"
Should not be too difficult to do.

Suicide is the only reason to have that listed as a medical item.
On high quality paper with really good inks. this is the only way to avoid data loss.
Considering the Canon 1Ds III
# 21 MP full frame CMOS (5616 x 3744)
# 14-bit A/D processing
Normal printing resolution is 300 dot/inch which gives us 18.8 x 12.48. nice posters.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware that we can can print anything close to the 14 bith depth of the image.
So print will always represent a data loss.

What we burn is light oil.
Some more complexe plastics and compounds are made from heavy oils which will not be as easy to replace by biofuel than we may think.
but I don't want you to crash into me or for my "tax dollar" to pay for your rescue.
On your private road, you can do whatever you want.
PS : I don't pay taxes in the states but will be driving there in a few month with my baby daughter. So stop texting while driving.
One of the big question in cosmologi is the topology of the universe.
Matematics allow you to create an infinity of different topology. I'm sure that one of them will be able to represent the universe.
But The Mathematicien will never be able to say which one is the correct one. For them they are all the same, methematical models.
For the physician which have his experiments and data, only one is the correct one. The rest is just models.
Mathematics is not a science.

Because terrorism is the only threat.

If it was not for terrorists,
America would be like a nice playground full of flowers and little rabbits.
There would be no murder, no drug trafficking, no rapes, no burglaries,

Note that they are not talking about the number of color available.
It is more difficult to look like someone else in color on a screen at a reasonable size than on a 1 inch b/w passport picture.
So you can clone the passport of you twin but the one of your other brother would not do.
It is not exactly the same info on the chip than on the passport.
