No, no, not "ethnic" cleansing, "economic" cleansing. They want to get rid of all the poor people, doesn't matter what color they are. Maybe they can build some kind of camps to move all these people into. Something with fences...for keeping bad people out. And really big ovens...for baking lots of bread.
Yep, just like the electricity industry, infrastructure hasn't been properly maintained or upgraded for decades, now they wonder why everything is falling apart and unable to deal with the demands placed upon it. Cheap, greedy bastards.
In an effort to contribute something to the thread that isn't irrelevant, stupid, or hateful assholery, this is very cool. I'm looking forward to its first images. Maybe it'll be sensitive enough to image extrasolar planets.
Science is always changing, always evolving, because we are always learning (some of us anyway). If you expect science to be exactly the same in 10 years, you have a fundamental misconception of how science works. In fact, science not only does change, it must, otherwise it becomes more dogmatic garbage the world has too much of anyway. Don't mistake your lack of comprehension for the fallibility of science.
Interesting but I don't think it applies. How big of a gun with what kind of ammo would you need to blow a foot-wide hole in a road? Most typical rounds would just bury, or bounce. Though I think the real problem here is just the article's lack of any kind of logic.
Friction due to deceleration, all that heat is in the air around the meteor, not the meteor itself. Someone further up the thread posted a link explaining this.
FTA: "A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground."
First, meteors aren't hot. Second, if a "pea-sized piece of rock" is going fast enough to make "a foot wide crater in the ground," it's not going to be "bouncing off" shit, least of all this kid's hand. It would tear through him like a shotgun slug. Was the kid's hand blown off? No? Then it didn't leave a fucking crater in the ground either. How about some photographs? Oh, there are none? Hmmm.

Isn't that where the Vulcans landed?
No, deregulation did that. It gave Enron the opportunity to create fake shortages and drive up demand to the point they were unable to handle it.
yeah and there always have been, hasn't helped yet

if they become a utility, as they should, that'll be possible

Infrared can pass through dust, such as that which composes nebulae, that would block other wavelengths.

is that a Cardassian ship I see?
Yes, unlike that.

I find it difficult to believe there would be people posting here, of all sites, who have never seen Star Trek. Go back to 4chan where you belong.
Yeah, I know. I should have known better.
no wonder the bloody tories won so big
apparently you missed the part of my comment where I didn't dispute that
Ram pressure, interesting. Very well, I yield to your superior references, sir.
