Perhaps they were simply too low energy to detect, as energy drops off with increasing velocity beyond the speed of light. It is easy to detect low energy photons from nearby, but more difficult to detect them from a single star far away (requiring much more sensitive equipment), and if you aren't expecting low energy particles, you don't design your detectors to be sensitive to them.
I would think reduced gravity would make it easier, not harder, so long as it isn't so far reduced that you go rocketing off the surface with a slight misstep.
In order to own something, you must have possessed it at some point, or bought it from someone who did. In the case of abandoned or previously unowned land, that only way for someone to make it their property, aside from asserting that it is theirs with military force, is to homestead it. By mixing their labor with the land, and making improvements upon it, the land becomes theirs.
The problem here is that you don't really see the difference between government space missions and private ones. When cost is a factor, the cost comes down. It shouldn't be hard to develop mining robots for a million bucks, given that they already exist for the most part on Earth.
Yup. Those claims are not legitimate in any event. Previously unowned land can only become property via homesteading, ie you have to go there and mix your labor with the land. That is, unless you are pals with someone with an army who can grab territory by force and hand it over to you in some sort of sweetheart deal. Hard to see many militaries projecting force to the moon, though.
When alcohol was legalized, did the Mafia continue to produce alcohol legally? Therein lies the answer to to your query. These guys will leave, and have nothing more to do with it once it is legalized and allowed for distribution to regular people.
Yeah, and Bush claimed Iraq was trying to get yellow cake uranium from Niger. Politicians don't always tell the truth. Sometimes their lies are pretty damn far out there.
Nope. Windows has always suffered from severe hardware slowdown. Maybe that is just some artifact of the file system or something, but even fresh instals don't help after a while. The Macs just last. Hell, I've got a 20 year old mac running an HPLC in my lab.
They get the vast majority of their money from drugs, and use the smuggling networks they build for the one to move the other. The whole thing would collapse in a big hurry, and it would certainly get a LOT less violent.
Who said "government's fault"? You lied about the source of the funding to minimize the perception of bias, you dirty liar. Now stop lying, and maybe people will stop thinking of you and all who hold opinions similar to yours as lying liars who do little other than lie.
I buy mine used. Macs are built to last, so buying a last generation computer is fine, and the price is comparable to a new mid-tier PC.
I have two Macs that lived through a house fire, having been exposed both to direct flame and to water, that continued to work until I replaced them more than a year afterwards. Only think that stopped working on them were the sound cards.
Wow, so you are now claiming that "technology" decreased the cost of production of kerosene by 99% in 30 years? AMAZING. Next, tell me why no-one else used these amazing technological breakthroughs to make kerosene for 98% cheaper? Or 95%? Or even 91%?
And I don't know if you have noticed, but Microsoft has LOST their monopoly, because their incompetence has allowed competitors to emerge in Apple (beaten in quality and customer service), and Linux (beaten in price).
The point is that free market monopolies DON'T RAISE PRICES, because there is always market pressure from POTENTIAL competitors, who are waiting in the wings for the monopoly to slip up either in terms of slow technological progress, poor customer service, or prices that are too high.
Also note that the decrease in cost of computer hardware was largely driven by the Intel monopoly, yet other processor manufacturers were able to emerge to prominence even in the face of their rapid advancement. Hell, Microsoft itself emerged by taking advantage of the poor product design of the free market monopoly known as IBM.
When you are talking about tipping points, the point of no return is incredibly obvious. You will see planes falling out of the sky, and ships sinking for no apparent reason as methane clathrates vaporize, disrupting the buoyancy of the water and air above them.
All the more reason to start mining the sea bed--make sure that shit is released as CO2 rather than methane.

Yeah, and this whole "horseless carriage" fad is sure to blow over too, since none of the big buggy manufacturers have started building them.

Couldn't you just add "no law enforcement or government personnel allowed", then do whatever you want?
I like how you continue to deride them even though they are correct. That is the sign of a truly open mind.
Believe it or not, there are people out there who are not caught up in the false "left-right" paradigm.
As for where the yellowcake came from, no way it came from JORDAN.
Hard for Mexican cartels to invade Washington.

You think that all criminal organizations are chummy enough to do each other's dirty work?

Pardon my log scale thinking.

Where are you getting your numbers. They are way off. GP is much closer to reality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation
"Likely"?
Are we basing trillions of dollars in capital expenditure on assumptions?
Your thinking is foolish. It is not "big solar" funding climatology, it is the government. Nice strawman, though.

lol, a person championing communism by citing the evil capitalist ways of the USSR.
Now I have seen everything.
