yes, they have very very large conventional bombs designed to destroy bunkers, i live near the florida coast and don't want radioactivity floating around in the air and the gulf
Maybe they could scale Constellation down to reach LEO (low earth orbit). Forget the moon, that is just going into another gravity well. it is not a "stepping stone" to mars, the asteroids, or the other planets.
The Soyuz spacecraft is based on a diving bell and was outdated almost as soon as it was built. It would be a shame if that will be the only way to get humans into space.
"Nevermind the fact that Einstein, one of the best known scientists in the world, that contributed significantly to our nuclear supremacy"
No he didn't. Einstein did not work on the Manhatten Project that developed the first atomic bombs, or or on subsequent atomic or thermonuclear weapons programs. His early work was incorporated into the mathematics of nuclear physics by others, but that early work was mostly done while he was in Switzerland.
I do agree with you main argument, but this specific point is not correct.
I hate to agree with a PC user, but that is what I see as lacking in the iPad; no useful text editor. Also no useful spreadsheets or web page editors, its only good for fun, can't do any real work on it, except answer e-mails. Maybe Apple didn't want to compete with its MacBooks, and so they didn't give this an OS X operating system, but if they had, then it would be the revolutionary device that all the hype was about.
Ya, two things about the iphone that limit its usability: 1. small keyboard 2. lack of a good text editing program. The tablet could solve the keyboard problem by having a bigger screen, but if it doesn't have a good text editing program, then its just an iphone/ipod-touch that's too big to put in your pocket.
I am not giving up my paper books. They just have a certain feel. I love sitting up at night reading with a bowl of snacks next to me. I just can't see using a Kindel or Tablet for most of my reading.
Would you consider building one fuel station for the entire United States in a Bangor Maine a good idea? No? Well, that's exactly what an orbital fuel depot is - a single gas stations that's only useful for those in the near vicinity.
Not a good analogy. For rockets trying to get away from earth is only the first step. Getting out of orbit around the earth is the second. And having enough fuel to do more mission is the third.
Having an orbiting fuel depot would allow smaller rockets to launch with the main payload, either human or robotic, an then add boosters or fuel from the depot once on orbit.
yes, do the math, calculus shows that about 99% of a rockets mass is gone by the time it gets to orbit, this is mostly fuel. The trick is to have fuel that burns fast enough to get a rocket into orbit w/o burning up the engines themselves.
I live in a college town with many coffee houses with wireless. When I walk in to them I see about 5 macbooks to 1 pc laptop. The future is with the young.
Orbiting Fuel Depots, 'bout time. Use of the LaGrange points, asteroids, yes! Scifi has known this for years, 'bout time that NASA caught up and went for long term development of space instead of quick one-shot missions.
The agreement says that Blizzard may give information to the police "if you are violating the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for a Blizzard site or product, or may be causing injury to or interference (intentionally or unintentionally) with Blizzard's rights or property, other users of a Blizzard site or product, or anyone else who could be harmed by your activities."
Although dealing drugs is illegal in the country, I don't think it violates the Terms of Service of Blizzard.

Story is short on details. What kind of rocket? Solid or liquid propellant? Etc. It only show a picture of an Apollo-like capsule.
doh

Plus the space program is a way to put money into the struggling economy that will have benefits for US and mankind down the road.

social networks are a good place to find out about music, also archive.org, pandora, tunewiki, etc.
the era of commercial radio being a good place find good music is long gone
talk to your real life or net friends, go to music festivals and find bands you like, just look around plenty of good music out there
wha?
um, yes i am a terrorist who is planning to blow up "south of the border" but i wanted to be sure to register myself first ...
the pictures show that its round and has seasons, it should be a planet

Well, it could be argued that Apple was the first with a tablet with the Newton, it was just before its time.

um yea, i think Auther C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrik has that idea in um, 1968.

Engineering students can't get dates and have nothing else do, so they might as well get on a plane and blow up their underwear.
