PB666

In space once several tests of landing.

But the Zkraken was pregarrs and produced 8 spawn that also ate your remains (as the last act you took was to blow her up you also blew yourself into little tiny zkraken snacks). The little babies now patrol the dres asteroid field eating any ship that enters. Thier genetic code was rewritten with CRISPR to make then consume any mechanical object that comes into Dres's SOI, including atomatrons. My next attack was already completed, i added code to the babies to make them parthenogenic, and they empregnate themselves with each meal spreading thems selves around the kerbol system with any spaceship encounter and spot fledgling spacecraft on the launch pad swoop down and consume them producing spwan as they eat.

8/10

4/10 not certain.

NASA is not directionless, and since you have contributed nothing to their missions your feelings are immaterial. Check the list posted by other authors. NASA has many current missions, including some that are over 40 years old and still producing data. NASA is underfunded, that's it, that's the problem. With under-funding do you not help out the contractor that is going to do your mission but at a lower cost, yes, you do. Again, the problem is not with NASA, although it has its problem, its has been, for the last 35 years, been asked to do more with less, and in response, they have done more with less. This includes several active programs on Mars. This includes several missions that are operating several times (even magnitudes) longer than their programmed life. One launch, known as Hubble, which is the most important science equipment ever created by mankind and still has several years of life left. With what penny have you contributed to this? Talk is cheap, unless the naysayers have contributed anything, what is your ground for critique? If you really think NASA has died, just search any published article list serve and search with the names of the Glenn Research Center, NSIDC, NOAA, Goddard flight space center, NASA, and the other cooperating US sanctioned space science institutes. In pubmed alone, for the first 5 months of this year there are 200 published articles published in medical journals. What have you published lately that you are one to judge? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=NASA http://nsidc.org/research/publications.html http://facilities.grc.nasa.gov/ http://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/index.cfm?fuseAction=home.main&&navOrgCode=600&navTab=nav_about_us http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/historic/Johnson_Space_Center NASA is in many cooperative missions with ESA, RSA, ISS, etc. Stop spreading misinformation. Well we got a rocket over at the space center you can strap it onto if you can find a way. :^). Of course I was joking, but that was a back up rocket one time for any mission that might have failed. I sure some industrius organization could scavenge the engines. LH2 though aren't so popular anymore as launch engines. You don't need to fix the windows, I understand most of the buran missions were unmanned anyway, lol.

Falcon has 2 stages, its payload can be considered a third stage, as they generally carry their own thrusters. In the most recent launch Falcons two stages delivered the payload to GTO and the payload then circularized the orbit. On a recently delivered ISS package, the dragon returned itself to a successful re-entry. We sure have an abundance of whack facts today.

Early galaxies are formed with hydrogen, deuterium and some helium and traces of lithium. Of particularly note with fewer nucleating substances the differential local density of gas needs to be higher to initiate star formation, this then results in larger first generation (blue) stars that end their lives as supernova the largest of these in a galaxy is usually the nucleus for the GBH. You wont find yellow stars in these new galaxies. As the number of polyvalent cations and anions increase in space, so does the ability to aggregate matter into clumps, clumps form comets, in the deep coldness of space they aggregate and once the mass is sufficient they retain hydrogen and begin to form stars with lower surrounding densities of hydrogen. This allows the formation of yellow stars and red dwarfs. This process is relatively accelerated as galaxies merge and the disequilibrium causes a rapid increase in the size of the GBH. The friction and spiraling created by the GBH results in the production of powerful X-rays by the plasma reaching relativistic speeds as the gas spirals into the hole. The poles of the rotation produce large amounts of X-rays that blast hydrogen out of the galaxy as it approaches the GBH. First small amounts, but as the hydrogen hole increases, the remaining gas flattens into a disk and the X-rays are capable of purging a larger volume further away from the center. This then suppresses star formation and preferential to red and brown dwarf formation. Such galaxies appear with more red stars.

Well now that we know that your a hater, we can handle your points of view from there. Governments are essential, and if the gov't is broke, look at the peeps for the ones who broke it. From my point of view everything is relative, the fact we are comparing SpaceX to NASA is one thing, but there are two peas in a pod, because its NASA that is providing the expertise to get SpaceX off the ground, no money transfers, but the knowledge base and background critiques so that they don't make any program ending mistakes. Government is providing contracts to SpaceX, but the US and foriegn governments. So from that point of view, with out some government impetus, the space programs in general probably would not be anywhere close to where they are today. I'm not a punk, lived on the rock for a long time, and I have seen all kinds of attitudes, those that build and those that destroy. Never going to say that a gov operates a perfect store, but by the same token I know lots of govs, not mine, in the world that are but the worst enemies of the common man, and yet they still seem to get voted into office over and over again. I'm not going to sit here and lets this excrementation go unchallanged, you can't sit around and casually say that the single most successful, by almost a magnitude, space program is somehow fallen, or broken at its core. You don't call a delivery systems with 135 launches, 1 mission failure, 1 post-mission failure (about 1000 people in space with the loss of a dozen) in the comparative world of space launching a failure. I see alot of NASA bad-mouthing, where are the comparables out there. Before anyone starts jumping up and down flailing their hands and saying NASA big ole sucks bad government hated kind of stuff, you need to have something to compare with, and if you don't you are just talking trash.

But this was the Zkraken, and he eats you, game over.

You get a jammed vending machine and a technician standing over your shoulder with a stern look on his face. Inserts $5 USD and gives a swift kick.

More vapor-ware. Its interesting that this group has a propensity to present every failed and never used idea as somehow the answer to everyones dreams.

Earth does not care about pretty or ugly, pretty is a registration by your visual cortex. Beautiful maidens on deserted islands are pretty much a dead end.

what a bunckmof bunk.

By definition dino saur means giant lizard.

No need to rebuild, there almost complete one lying on its side about 20 miles from here.

The internet is a superficial quasi-reality. Its like the effect of heroine on the brain.

The more you do the lower the efficiency. The modern age variant is VASIMR, like they say its power production. Lighter, higher efficiency ion drives exist that have up to 20000 ISP. The isp is not limited, the problem is that as mass efficiency goes up, thrust goes down. The area density of drives are limited to about 100 kw per meter. So that as you go up in ISP you produce less thrust per kw and per area.,

Granted, but the genie gives you more homework than you had in school. I wish all games that are free to play were actually free to play.

And the standard autonomously appearing asteroid appears and then slans into the hull of you flagship, converting you entire ship back to Dres. I have convinced the Zkraken to settle dres, and convinced him to destroy anything that moves on dres, you are frozen in fear.

Granted, the universe comes to an immediate halt, the moons stars falling into the earth, and the earth begins falling into sun, unfortunately for you, you are on the side of the earth the moon hits. I wish to put all the momentum back, except cubinators.

Well, to the point our ability to create and more importantly utilize abstractions allows us to be the inventor and builder of robots and not vice versa. Internet knowledge, as some have pointed is a blind view of the human world. The internet is not a vista or experience that has realmworld comparables, the internet is a tool, its like programming you microwave or setting your cruise control, or turning the page on the news paper. It is the esperiencing of life is what makes the quentessential human, the fact that someone is blind or deaf adds tonthe experience struggle that helps us to understand and value life.

Knowledge is pretty insideous, its not easy to kill off the old engineers who build the factories and the equipment. The most dangerous weapon to humans is not technology, its ignorance, and the problem with ignorance in the long run is that it has a semi-targeted self-destructive effect. The keepers of the technology are thus a semi-protected from the danger. What we learn in the modern ages that the technological war starters often end up on the losing end of the stick, maybe not immediately but in the long run.

Given that the knowledge base to build solar panels and wind turbines we could creep back up, but a whole lot of superfluous activities of society would have to be curtailed. BTW there's a hell of alot of coal left still in the ground (scary how much CO2 we could put int the ATM if we wanted to). And still a whole friggen lot of pre-biotic CH4 buried way down deep in the earths crust that can be extracted.

whoopsie.

Robots don't learn like humans do, what computers do well, humans are rather slow to accomplish and vice versa. Although it is possible to build a machine that goes through and infancy and childhood encouraging a successive experiencing of the environment its difficult to imagine a robot that can sense the world in the survival sense of humans. Of course what is difficult now to imagine may not be difficult in the future. Robots don't really care if we turn them off, unless we teach them to care, but then that is really imparting our programming on them.
