That's true - even 1% wastage is a huge amount, but I suppose that cuts have to come from somewhere. Of course, if you looked at the US budget as whole there may be some other things that could be cut, so that NASA's budget could actually be raised this year.
Can anyone think of anything that the US government is spending money on that it shouldn't?
Wouldn't that screw with instruments in the habitat? Also, any astronauts trying to leave and go do their experiments/play golf/drive around in a space buggy would stick to the outside of the dome.
It says she bought the prescription at Walgreens, it would have been much cheaper if she had bought them elsewhere. She got caught, and she didn't get the best deal, what a fool.
We'd have to monitor the effect every few months, and instruct people to lighten them up or darken them.
'This month we all need to go with battleship-grey to keep the optimum temperature...'
Yeah, early adopters often lose out.
I don't mind paying extra to be an early adopter of household technology, but when it comes to strapping myself to a rocket I'd like to know that some research has been done.
Having said that, if I could win, I would try.
I think that the material to make the ribbon can't actually be produced yet, and a 50-60 metre long section is about all that can be used. However, for the purposes of a test like this, it will suffice. The competition is more to do with getting the elevator technology advancing than actually putting together a working device.
I have just spoken to Cristina on the phone, and she says that flights have not happened. They have conducted tests on the lab bench, but no plane has yet flown, and is unlikely to do so for some time yet.

I wrote a feature recently where I explored if it was possible to run all of the standard office gadgets from sustainable power - it includes quite a few product reviews.
I think it's called a bacronym. As in backwards acronym.

The view part was a joke, but I'm obviously not as funny as I thought I was.

I hope they found this in the auto-finish feature, and not from Google?
My friend is very intelligent, but she is very misguided about this particular subject.
Now that is a distinct possibility...
I have a friend who completely believes the moon landings were faked. It's frustrating, to say the least.
NASA eventually lost contact... Pioneer - I/O = P'neer
I've been looking for one of those for ages, I want to use it standard. Modern keyboards just don't make the right noise...
Although some of the astronauts have been known to play.
I really don't get this first post thing? Where's the enjoyment?
Us UK dwellers are out of luck with this service.
I knew that would be brought up eventually!
And it shall be a national holiday, and festive donuts will be consumed.
Yeah, it gets louder unfortunately. Damn monkeys.
When I'm in a quiet room I can often hear a quiet hum. It started after I went to an Arctic Monkeys concert...

The Russians are playing nice in space, it's all golf for them. It's the Americans who'll be throwing trash around!
