the inventions came from smart individuals, it's not their fault that our social model is so corrupt we only invest massive amounts of money when we think we can kill people.
That's the way it's always been; war drives innovation, or at least the funding of it, for good or bad.
AT&T has one of the worst costumer service records. Removing competition is about as likely to improve customer service as a poke in the eye with a hot stick.
am = new math.ArithmeticManager()
opA = new math.Operand((float) a)
opB = new math.Operand((float) b)
am.addOperand(opA)
am.addOperand(opB)
am.operator = new math.operators.Addition()
am.executeMathOperation()
system.io.output.print(am.mathOperationResult())
I don't know about that. Sometimes there is an inherent trade-off between being machine-friendly and human-maintainer-friendly. Tuning for machine performance sometimes gets in the way of high-level abstractions that make porting to a different architecture easier.
I wonder if it would be economical to create a semi-standard repair-kit satellite, for mass production, that could repair or supplement failing satellites using boost assist, stabilizer assist, power supplements, computational supplements/replacements, etc.
It may require standardized ports and latches on the primary satellites, though, for hooking into and/or grappling.
One good way of sensing the environment around you is a complex "camera eye" - but there are many ways of implementing this in multiple organisms
I wonder if an insect-like compound eye is competitive at a larger scale. It seems to me it may be more damage-resistant in that it fails incrementally (spots), where-as a single-chamber design like ours can be taken out of commission if just one part fails.
Well, we do have 2 eyes such that we have 1 spare, but we lose stereo sensing if one goes out. In compound eyes, you only lose stereo in the individual damaged spots.
But I wonder if compound eyes can be good at "center focus". Tetrapod eyes can be very keen in the center of focus due to density of cells and the large lens. That may be tricky to duplicate using bunches of direction-specific cells with little independent lenses. Light waves diffract too much with small lenses if I'm not mistaking because of their size relative to the wavelength of light. It's a general rule of thumb of nature that your "antenna" should be roughly at least the size of the wavelength of the radiation (light) you are sampling.
Most people don't need NoSQL. Last I checked, most people aren't Facebook or Google
Some people get overly optimistic about their start-ups or new projects. It's like planning on where to park all the beemers before you even get your first sale.

Lightanium, of course.

Dudes, you are solving the problem, in reverse: we want instant energy from dirt.

Now a-days we use OOP to get similar bloat:
NORMAL
print(a + b)
BLOATED
am = new math.ArithmeticManager()
opA = new math.Operand((float) a)
opB = new math.Operand((float) b)
am.addOperand(opA)
am.addOperand(opB)
am.operator = new math.operators.Addition()
am.executeMathOperation()
system.io.output.print(am.mathOperationResult())

Reminds me a bit of the Story of Mel:

Just come up with a delicious goose recipe, and their population will dwindle quickly
Bones are not the only thing that is dense.

Call the mission "MacSkyver".
Due to failure of the 2nd gyroscope, it can only find long, flat planets with names like "Pizza Centauri C", Pizza the Hut's home.
"Wait, that's no moon!..."
Kirk only read an early draft of the mission: "five year mission to explore strange new bodies". He happily complied.
