The European Convention on Human Rights states that education is a human right. Therefore not allowing your children to learn to read and write is a violation of their rights and the government will step in to stop you.
So prior to the invention of writing, people violated their children's rights just by letting them exist? That's pretty harsh. There are reasons Americans don't take European pronouncements on human rights too seriously.
No. Article 7 of the same convention.
ARTICLE 7
No punishment without law
1. No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on
account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal
offence under national or international law at the time when it
was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than
the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was
committed.
And the ECHR was written after the invention of writing.
That's a simplified vision of the world. CNES (french agency) use sometimes european launcher, sometimes american, sometimes russian. Some US satellite operators are launching european made satellite from Kazakhstan using a russian launcher operated by the european arianespace (in a joint company with russian) (this specific case is globalstar 2nd generation satellite)
Luxemburgish-US operator buy french or us satellite, the satellite can be launched from guyana or florida or baikonour,
Nasa send people on russian spacecraft...
EU can take a law restricting exportation of weapon and include satellite in it. Two of the top six satellite manufacturer are european. Such a move would reduce the SpaceX market, but would probably be a bad move.
And EU could also decide to create an ambitious space program and decide to overpaid the launcher company, which could in turn reduce the price of commercial launch. Like SpaceX and US gouvernment.
Nuclear power plant are also difficult to build from stuff that you can find on the market, and they are only available to large-scale commercial installations.
Going from GTO to GEO or from GEO to GTO needs the same DeltaV (in fact -DeltaV) So if you have the same initial mass and the same thrusters, you need the same amount of fuel. (but if you do GTO to GEO to GTO, you don't have the same mass;-) )
If the refuelling satellite is on GTO and the satellite is in GEO, the refuelling will not be very easy. Have you ever tried to refuel a running formula one with the spare tank on your bicycle ?
Why did the US spend billions to create their own HST when Gallileo build a telescope 400 years ago ? The gallileo telescope can be rebuild for 10$ and used by anyone with a least one eye.
On my recent project, we aim to deliver only once the software. Off course you always have to do some small modifications after the first productions test. In my last company after the launch of the production, I remember of 4 different push in production in one year. But it was a brand new product. (I have left the company since that time, but as far as I know there was no new modification in the production. A new feature should be pushed in a near future)
In my current company, in one year I have not seen any modification on the main product, if we don't count new launched product. (in fact no change on the real product, but change in the software used to manage the product are more frequent)
Oh, by the way, when I say launch of the production, it's really called a launch, with a launcher, and satellite on the top of it.
Guess what? That means you need to build twice as many panels/wind generators as you nominally need (at least).
Stupid. If you need that amount of solar panel to get enough energy taking into account period of no power generation, that's not twice as many generators as you nominally need, it's *exactly* the amount of generators that you need.
No. But you get punishment because some people thinks it's a sin. The punishment can be, depending of the place in the world, a fine, prison sentence or even, in some barbarian places, death penalty. Or a combination of the several of this. But again, it's the same principle: Some people think it's a sin, so you can get punished.
Yeah, a lot of the research are related to weightlessness. Like a lot of research pre-1500 was done on navigation and how to survive on a boat. Not usefull at all, except that the USA may still be a place to bowhunt bison if nobody looked at this not very usefull stuff (who needs to go on a boat when you could stay at home or go to theater ?)
And I could take you closed source software and distribute it to my friend. And I could remove any protection you put to avoid this.
And I could study you compiled binary and do whatever I want with it. And if it is a derived work of the linux kernel, I could probably spot the difference with a reasonable amount of work.
17 millions ? Great, just give one to every UK citizen next time a cool new connected gadget goes live. It should work thanks to the economics crisis, if only one out of three citizen buy the gadget !

Per dollar spent, not spending a dollar at all has the best benefit. Give it a try. Apply this to your food, for a few week.

I can think of no other industry where it's in fact *illegal* for a manufacturer to sell their own product directly to consumers.
Illegal drugs industry.

If I understand what you think, you almost says that most part of google is not available on the internet. http://www.google.com/robots.txt

I'm religiously opposed to the concept of government, to roads, TSA, CIA, NSA, FBI, ...

I don't agree.

You define what constitutes a "sin" and you get to punish the wayward followers and unbelievers for committing the sin.
I suppose that you are also againt all punishment for murder ?

It seems that it's not against the constitution to put a time limit. Let's change 20 years to 20 days.

Wheel is old technology. Several thousands years. IPv6 is 14 years. That's new.
