    You asked a political question, once upon a time people had dreams above themselves, the dreams were fullfilled, along with PCs and cell phones and all the treasures the space age built. Then our dreams were that of smart phones and chat rooms and facebook profiles, 2 story houses with zero percent down loans. NASA and science seem to be someone else's dream. Of course with resources why not, but one mans dream is another mans theft, so that explains the budget constraint, and that's all you need to know.

    We can't change the fate of the earth, its current fate is not going to change. It doesn't need time, only we do.

    Its interesting you should say this because NASA has defied the Mars curse more than any other space agency except INRU, that's only because they have one mission. Everything is relative, you can say whatever you like about NASA up until the moment someone ask you if the is a better space agency you can point and at that moment the conversation evaporates. Then it will pop up again a month later with some fool pulling necro on the ~150 successful mission space shuttle thread calling it a mistake.

    You are spaced. sqwish.

    We should care about this because?

    The poster above is banned for thinking 4 words is too much reply, not having a period, and forgetting to capitalize the first letter in the incomplete sentence.

    Since when is a wall of words two very short paragraphs. This geberation has an attention span of a 2week old tree schrew.

    You mean vapor-ware, its generally free of charge. Voyager is necro.

    General PitA, general PN, as far as I know neither school graduates generals. The better question to ask, was this thread flame-bait.

    Diablo II. Sorry blizzard lovers. WoW the patch past Panderia were farming the barrens for meat and wood. that really sucked, quit the game.

    Thats until we run out of fossil fuels, or we cook ourselves in green house gases, unless fusion finally comes along and saves the world. Our potential energy density comes out of the ground and was largely made by plants, and where it lay was at higher energy density than us. I just wanted to fix your necro problem.

    Good thing we were talking about tangible qualities. I take it that the two lines end when Musk lands on Mars, and the company is left leaderless, but why does the red line end. The world cannot survive without Musk-ness.

    He's right landing 3 cores is harder than landing 1 at a time. NASA is already cooperating with SpaceX, that's old news.

    Watch the necro. But I will tie your response into to current topic therefore turning it into a franken-response. Well if you go by that logic, the pinnacle species is the species that maximizes the thermodynamic benefit. Any one of human cultivars would outpace humans. Maize, definitely captures more suns energy than any other species. Rice probably way up there, And then there is hay, lets not forget all that animal fodder. Ruminent likes cows are secondary consumers. A good pine species combines biomass trapping with the thermodynamics. And should we not forget the most pervasive marine algae species. Simply stated humans are no even on the chart for E = hv = mc2. On this earth water traps most of the heat, stores the heat in increased water mass (and volume) as global warming has taught us. Then it releases the heat as radiant energy at night. On land you are probably talking about the most abundant grass species as way far behind.

    I expect they will see an expansion of production lines with the opening of the BC facility in a couple of years. At least looking at the purchased area and current usage I expect there will be multiple pads at the site. Just guessing. But wasn't the F9 a rework of other versions that were basically under-powered, if you are recycling rockets why not just not run with 7 engines at 80% power at lift off, then shut down the central engine and 800 m/s and go with that. If it is true that 90% of the cost is in the launch, just go with that.

    True mammals Eutheria, before the KT event. Therians probably back to 165-180 million years ago and the Prototherian branch back to before 200-260 mya. There are no definitives on this, the branch had to be before 160 mya (the earliest known therian fossil) but there are no prototherian fossils from the Triassic or Jurassic periods. Its a void in the fossil record frequently found with isolated species. Eutherians probably lived in dense brush and understory of large forests, they seem to have an affinity for fruiting plants and flowering plants, they might have been excellent climbers that climbed trees and gathered fruits and berries, as with many mammals they may have kept caches of seeds, that aided them through the KT (CP) event. Mammaliformes (somewhere around prototherian branch) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morganucodonta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelobasileus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotheria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castorocauda At the Metatherian/Eutherian branch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juramaia

    I just extended the joke one step further.

    Dino eggs would be hard to crack. I wonder how much having you biome cooked in a broiler for a day would affect your risk?

    IOW, i could have simplified the poll Realist - NASA Delusional - Choose spaceX Really delusional - Choose KSP

    That makes about a much sense as a screen door on a submarine.
