    when I was 15 i had developed all sorts of vaporware, i think the real question is what 15 year old out there is NOT full of vaporware??

    8 inch shells are almost NEVER used, at least in the USA, the shells at the NYC show for example the largest shell is a 6 inch, the avg is 2.5 inch to 4 inch

    my father shoots off professional shows and I asked him about this. he said the worst case scenario he can think of would be if the drone was low, like within 20 feet of the launch and it blasted it with a direct hit. he said the crowds generally would be safe as they do take mishaps like a rogue firework into consideration when planning the location and the distance of the viewers. on the other hand that could potentially cause issues with the people setting them off. he says where the thing was in relation to the show, hes thinking about doing it himself from now on at all of his shows

  5. if I want to travel to a particular city by rail

    well sure if you limit your options, if you had the statement "if i want to travel to city A, I can take a car built by many different companies, I can take a plane, run by many different companies. and theres also a train"

    that is the same logic as if i want to play a video game i only have nintendo, well no you have other options out there, if you pigeonhole yourself thats on you.

  6. Re:the usual propaganda on Study: Global Warming Solvable If Fossil Fuel Subsidies Given To Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    of course! because you know, greed or something? I cant even keep the madness straight in my head anymore....

  7. of course, lets face it, think of how stupid the avg american is, and remember 1/2 are stupider than that.

    Most things that are talked about by politicians when it comes to subsidies are not only bending of the truth but straight up lies. For example the lie that the oil companies pay no taxes. it is a bullshit lie that many love to believe and keep perpetrating the myth for example EXXON payed a REAL tax number of 9.5 BILLION Dollars in total taxes in 2010. http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

    people LOVE to fudge numbers, and the truth is it usually hurts them too. most people ONLY think of the federal income tax (which should be abolished) but we have state taxes, local taxes other fees etc etc.

    Long story short, people really need to stop talking about the oil industry and politics together because people are fucking stupid

    Id like them to save time by using the lessons taught. Meaning even if this is an evolutionary rocket, it will take less time than a revolutionary design

    bigger than before, but the potential energy was still stored. so again it still boils down to a few smaller quakes, or a large deadly quake sometime in the future. Its not as if they are creating quakes where there never would be quakes.

  18. I dont see a problem here on NASA Approves Production of Most Powerful Rocket Ever · · Score: 5, Interesting

    . Space Launch System's design called for the integration of existing hardware, spurring criticism that it's a "Frankenstein rocket," with much of it assembled from already developed technology.

    I would much rather them use existing tried tech and incrementally advance them rather than try a radical new design. A new design would take extra years of testing before it is ready for use but if we can tweak existing tech, and make it useful for deep space why not??

    Based on the next sentence it tells me that they are more concerned with bringing home the bacon than making progress in space.

    i get what you are saying, but if this guy is running an exit node, wouldnt EVERY other node on the route also be an accomplice? where is verizon and ATT on this list? im sure the NSA intercepted it and let it go through, does that make them accomplices as well? why is this single person the only one in the chain of nodes being held to a different standard??
