This line just shows what idiots they are. Africa is not poor because the rest of the world takes from them or because they give to the rest of the world. They are poor due to culture. If you want to be rich you need capitalism. People need to be able to own land and capital equipment and not have to constantly worry about losing it in wars, theft, or graft. Change the culture and you will be rich very quickly.
I disagree. The fatigue and fracture mechanics needs to be well understood just to get to this point. Now that they have recovered one that knowledge will be much better since they can inspect to see how close their analysis is. Not only will this be important for reusability but overall reliability and performance by giving better data on loads. For example Atlantis was 5-10% lighter than Columbia because of advances and lessons learned.
The problem with your stock analogy is that you assume there is a way to beat the averages long term. Replace the stock market with flipping a coin. If you have a room of 1024 people that all pick different permutations of heads and tails you will get one person that picks 10 in a row. Are they good at it? No, the odds are still even on each toss. This is the problem with finding a stock picker. You can find someone with a perfect record but as soon as you invest with them they have no better odds at picking stocks than anyone else.
Economically it doesn't make sense. It would make more sense to lower rates for all then pick and choose. Politically it makes sense because a politician can show the actual jobs they had a hand in creating while ignoring the lost jobs that are impossible to identify.
This is more of an engineering term. If you let Liquid Oxygen sit around at ambient conditions it will be at the boiling point. Getting it colder requires additional systems to lower the temperature.
But you don't give it away, that's the point. You move the shares from the left pocket to the right pocket. You don't own the shares your foundation does. Of course you run the foundation so you still control the shares. And of course the foundation has business expenses like private planes and hotels for traveling the world and meals at the best restaurants in order to oversea this foundation. And you can pay yourself and your kids a salary.
That's the real purpose. You know how conservatives alway say to get rid of the estate tax because the really rich can just avoid it but farmers and small business people get screwed? Well here is your example. Hundreds of billions that won't be taxed.
The problem isn't the stuff that lasts 200,000 years. That is pretty low level. Its also not the highly radioactive stuff since it decays quickly. It's the stuff that lasts hundreds of years that is trouble. Luckily we are getting better at nuclear chemistry and our ability to separate the bad from the not bad, or even useful stuff is improving. If we hadn't had such a short sighted policy we would have moved even further.
The real difference is that in order to get a payload into orbit you need enough thrust to move the fuel required to get you there. This means powerful engines. This rocket had a small engine that is capable of hovering. On an orbital class rocket your engine will have too much thrust making it impossible to hover. That is what SpaceX is trying to do. Land using a thrust to weight greater than one. This is much more difficult than a hovering landing which SpaceX has already done multiple times, along with other test craft decades ago.
Let's say the NSA somehow knows there is a message between two people they want to decrypt. With the computing power they have how long would it take? What I'm getting at is if the NSA had to concentrate only on targets would they be able to break the encryption?
Maybe because hospitals are a government monopoly. You can't just open a hospital if you want, you need to prove your area needs another hospital. Of course the other hospitals sit on the board that makes the decision.
Here is how I understand it. Imagine you have a bunch of fat kids on swings. The swinging represents the kinetic motion of the atoms. If you measure the motion of each kid carefully and shoot a tennis ball at the kid when they are traveling towards you, you can slow them down. If you shoot enough balls at them you can slow them nearly to a stop.
Replace fat kids with the atoms in this crystal and tennis balls with photons and you have your cooling laser.

You bash the free market and throw in IP laws which are government monopolies.
All monopolies are creations of governments. They don't exist in a free market.

Now where have I heard that before and people claimed it was impossible?
I'm glad we won't have to hear about Climate change anymore and work on things like stopping bombing people.
Just use the top rate for technical people in the federal government. GS 13 Step 10. That way locality and cost of living increases are built in.

They renovated LC13 and it's now a landing pad.

This has been done before.

Really? How is that little trick performed?

You miss the real reason. The kids can become employees of the foundation and be paid salaries without being hit by the estate tax.

Oh and the one engineer president has among the fewest military deaths of all presidents.
OK so a few terrorists are engineers. How many hundreds of millions dead are the results of politicians, most who are liberal arts majors?

Still can't get my airbag fixed.
That's because if you follow the logical laws of economics you get capitalism. The other things you are thinking about are political constructs.
