Galileo unfortunately had a main antenna failure, limiting it's imaging capabilities as a weak backup antenna had to be used instead. It still did great science, though, even though imaging had to be carefully cherry-picked.
"97 percent of climate scientists believe human activities are causing global warming." That's not a scientific statement, it's a political one. Science doesn't vote, it either provably is or it isn't.
In a way it does vote. The simplest model/explanation that explains (matches) the observed world is considered the highest ranked. Science is essentially an algorithm that sorts models by matches and simplicity, but with the added request that tests be done to refine the ranking and observations, and that new models be added to the pool where feasible.
The epicycle model of the solar system could be made to match the movement of the planets with enough parts (more circles, more bars), but it grew both complex and required the existence of "invisible" parts, namely crystal-like disks and bars. Newton instead gave a simple equation that matched without all the complexity, and had only ONE invisible part: Gravity.
The problem is that many don't trust scientists and researchers to be objective. The details of scientific claims are too involved for the average person to dig into directly and compare and contrast such that they are relying on somebody's word.
In the conservative world, people should be motivated by greed, and this means that paid scientists should say whatever makes their wallets fatter, and claiming there are climate problems allegedly increases the need for climate services.
The biggest risk is probably secondary debris damaging the drone enough to make it fly off course and smash into viewers. The controller may not know it was hit and fiddle with the controls to try to re-establish control, not knowing they are guiding it up some angry lawyer's ass.
That should simply be illegal. It's good to have meetings with related businesses to express concerns etc., but it should be in a plain government meeting room with no perks: no food, no dancers, no music, etc.
Scripting languages typically only need 3 compare types: string, number, and date. Special functions/methods can be created or defined for the custom or rare ones. Use of symbols doesn't prevent other techniques from being allowed. I just want to at least simplify the most common compare types.
When Homo sapiens show up, they've got an entirely new technology- the atlatl, or spear-thrower.
I believe these are relatively recent, perhaps after the Neanderthal's time. It's more likely Sapiens went after smaller animals like rabbits, and were scavengers, stealing game from wolves, hyena's, cougars, etc. using relatively weak spears or rocks.
Going after big game directly was probably not a common option at the time for Sapiens. Neanderthals specialized in big game, and this includes being able to be trampled and live.
Sapiens were omnivores, eating plants, insects, small animals, and big animals stolen from pack hunting animals. (There is evidence Neanderthals also ate variety, but big game was probably their main food.)
When Homo sapiens show up in Eurasia, we see the disappearance of mammoths, wooly rhinos, Irish elk, etc.
But that's relatively recent, when wide-range trade of better hunting materials and proto-civilization increased Sapien populations. It's the (later) larger populations and trading ability of humans that was the culprit.
Plus with a larger population, there's more likely to be humans who take the risk of hunting big game due to arrogance or not having other choices during droughts. If faced with starvation and death, I'd try to hunt a mammoth myself now, if they were around. I'd probably die trying, but many other fellow starvers would also try.
Large populations = greater mayhem during bad times.
The line between detailed fantasies and "planning murder" is still fuzzy. I've had detailed visions involving paper clips, rubber-bands, and staplers of things I wanted to do to torture egotistical conniving moronic co-workers. (It was just torture, not death.) It's a great catharsis, therapeutic even.
They've found a lot of broken and healed bones in Neanderthal skeletons, compared to Homo Sapiens. The implication is that they were more rugged than Sapiens, probably because they mostly depended on big game hunting.

Tiny? I saw a clone in a space museum. That sucker is almost as big as a bus.
Anyhow, as a science mission, it has to rank up there almost with the Voyagers in terms of new and fascinating discoveries.
As an experiment, let's kill all the slashdot trolls, and then see if the troll rate goes down over time.

Yes, calling engineers "whales" makes them sensitive to their weight problems.

I'm at a loss for a way to fix this, though.

Shit, that means SQL viruses/injections can have more power
it's Lois Lerner's fault for deleting planets.

There is a reason USA laws usually favor bigger companies: they wrote them.

and you'll end up in a com cast.

At first I thought this was about Justin Bieber.
I don't know how to classify it, but it was delicious!
