There is no reason to leave. Spacex is still has the cheapest launcher available and payloads are ensured.

No warming hiatus for extreme hot temperatures

The increasing level or CO2 in the oceans is bad news for shelled creatures, which are at the bottom of the food chain.

What I'm wondering is; why are these buildings still standing and their crafts still in it? When the money stopped did they just think, let's leave and never return again?

It's not a matter of if it's true or not. It is true but that's not the dilemma here. It's a matter of IF we don't do anything about it and it causes severe harm to all living things, then wouldn't we look very stupid? Even if you think it's not true, should we wager all life on Earth just because it might not be true? Actually, the more heat the less they eat.

2. Perchlorates are easy to wash out of the soil. From Andy Weir's AMA on Reddit: 1. About the wind: 3. About water in the soil:

The presenter, when standing on the surface of the planet and looking at trees and other plants, says "There's no alien life.".

Over here!

Take a cheesecake recipe and add less gelatin and it wont be a cheesecake, instead it will be cheese custard.

If you have a kitchen scale and enjoy cooking, then you buy a digital scale like this: Newer ones are even flatter: That's about the size and thickness of a cutting board. I just find the analog scales annoying and take too much space. Cups and spoon measurement is used world wide, you can even find it in recipes next to defined in weight.

Development aid organizations would be a good place to start or even start one for that cause. I can imagine things like Raspberry Pi helping with this, small and cheap and no moving parts. Start a an initiative to collect old LCD monitors. SD cards, keyboards and mice are dirty cheap now a days. If you help a poor country grow through all the things that Internet(via sat) has to offer then they keep it as their standard.

I didn't want to post this in the NASA logo thread, because it would definitely derail it. What is even up with changing the NASA logo in their timeline? Sure I get that they are "underground" now, so their logo needs to resemble that they don't have anything in space. Or the director just thought it would look cooler. So this version of NASA sat down with each other and thought "Hey, we need to save humanity, but first we need to design a new logo!".

Note the part where it says that those 2+ billion people have reliable access to electricity. If you are poor and have reliable electricity then you will benefit hugely from the Internet. It's more then just mindless fun. It can be used as ways to communicate and educate, something which poor countries could greatly benefit from. Of course it wont be directly accessible to everyone at first, I guess you have to start with schools and other places which benefit the population.

It's also rather easy to figure out if a living thing has feelings. Subject it a stimuli and record any activity to it in the plant. If the reaction is repeatable(in other subjects or the same plant) then you can say it has feelings. The thing is, plants don't need feelings to survive. It would also be rather terrible for the planet if it would feel pain and it couldn't do anything about it. They also don't think, there is no place in the plant it uses to ponder about things. If there was, we would have found it ages ago. Even if they think very slow.

You sir, need to see an eye doctor.

40% of the world's population has Internet, that leaves 60% without it. According to the UN, 1,2 billion people don't have access to electricity and 1 billion only have access to unreliable access. That leaves 2,075 billion people who could have Internet, but don't. Imagine how the world would change if those people had Internet access. Also, you can't have 4G coverage every where. It's just not profitable to have the whole country completely covered. With satellites you can cover the whole globe. The latency isn't a problem either, if you have the satellites closer to Earth. The only problem is keeping the cost per satellite low enough to keep it viable.

So Sai, maybe you need some help with the current version instead of getting mods for an old version of KSP. Also you are missing out on a lot of features. So maybe you should post your system specs and post the KSP log file when it crashes: Windows: KSP_win\KSP_Data\output_log.txt -OR- KSP_win64\KSP_x64_DATA\output_log.txt (depending on which used) - In case you installed KSP into a Windows protected directory (C:\Users, C:\Program Files or C:\Windows\ and their subfolders) the output log file may be stored in the folder called C:\Users\[username]\Appdata, this folder is usually hidden so you should enable the view hidden folders option (more information). Note that for the demo you should find the output_log.txt file located in the KSP_Data folder. - Steam users should right click KSP in Steam, click on Properties, then in the Properties box, click Local Files, then Browse Local Files. Mac OSX: Open Console, on the left side of the window there is a menu that says 'files'. Scroll down the list and find the Unity drop down, under Unity there will be Player.log Aka Files>~/Library/Logs>Unity>Player.log Linux: The log is written to /home/user/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal Space Program/Player.log

The worm logo looks like it was made for an electronics company. In fact, it fits right in with samsung: Or how about the CNN logo: The "meatball" logo actually explains what NASA is.

The test you are thinking of was conducted by Cleve Backster. He hooked plants up to a lie detector and the machine showed a pattern which looked like if it was a human subjected to short emotional stimulation. Many have repeated Backster's experiment, all with negative results. Also the Mythbusters tested this in their show. They also came up with negative results after eliminating interference with the machine.

Then we agree on that. That makes it even more unbelievable. Operating for that amount of time with equipment they had before NASA was dissolved. Not money? Just equipment? But there is nothing exciting happening. It's a cliché the-heroes-are-saved-in-the-nick-of-time scene. It's so obvious that the "red shirt" is going to die and that the 2nd wave won't kill them. If it's not what the filmmakers intended then why did they make Cooper say: -I'm here to find a way to tell Murph, just like I found this moment. -How Cooper? Love TARS, love! It's just like Brand said, my connection with Murph, it is quantifiable. It is the key. Well I give them the trying-to-get-people-interested-in-space point. Movies don't need to perfectly right. There's still a lot of non-science plot holes and mistakes in the movie and LOTS of unneeded drama which at least made me cringe. I've got hopes on The Martian, let's hope it's at least halve as good as the book.

I don't care about the wormhole, that one is acceptable. But the film wants us to believe that humans went from 3D creatures to 5D. How can matter in a three dimensional universe cross over to exist in a five dimensional universe? I guess they must be so smart, to do something like that, that they can't figure out how to communicate with their ancestors. Why do they need to hide a tesseract in a black hole? Who would ever look in there? Their very existence depends on it to be found. Well that and Murph knowing morse code. 2001 had a bizarre ending. But at least it didn't look like they hastily resolved mysterious situations. They could at least mention why their super shuttle/lander was capable of such marvelous feats. Part of the setting would be "Why do we need space travel if we are starving down here?", you don't need to add "The Moon landings were faked, it says so in this corrected book!". OK I missed the refused part. That still leaves the question on why they need NASA to do it? If they can fund an interstellar mission then they can fund a small army to do it. Also NASA is part of the government, if someone refuses to follow orders then they can be replaced. They land on the water planet. They look for the probe. A huge tidal wave heads towards them. Cooper saves Brand and the red shirt dies. Another tidal wave heads towards them and they are saved at the nick of time. There's nothing exciting happening there, and so predictable once they land on the planet. That's Brand trying to justify why they should visit her lover instead Dr Mann. She's trying to convince them. Doesn't mean she's right or the movie thinks she's right. As I pointed out before, the movie's message is overall against faith in the supernatural, but pro faith in emotion. Just because following emotions is ultimately the correct route it doesn't mean that the movie is saying that love is a transcendental force. Just like all the other seemingly supernatural things in the movie it has non-supernatural causes. She is the chief scientist and biologist of the expedition and she thinks that love is "Maybe it means something more, something we can't... yet understand.". So a scientist out to save the human race wants to follow her love instead of using here brain.

The whole 5th dimension part only rests on the comment "We'll learn how to eventually". You shouldn't need a book to explain your movie. If the black hole did help the lander get of the planet, then why doesn't it partially counter act the planets gravity on the astronauts? That isn't a good reason to use it to help the story. The NASA bombing humans took care of that point. I'll type that again NASA BOMBING THE EVER LIVING DAYLIGHT OUT OF RIOTING PEOPLE! How can any space nerd take that seriously? Basiclly the movie is saying "Hey NASA we respect you but... in our reality everyone thinks the Moon landings were fake and you kill people". But there was CG and it looked good. The ocean planet scene was only a few minutes with the astronauts shouting, a big way, a death of someone who was closer to the ship and a cliché last minute save. Quoted from the movie: They are trying to make it something magical, which is good for a romantic movie, but not for a movie about black holes. No matter how big the screen would be, the drama would still make me cringe.

There might be spoilers in this post. It started good, but ended with plot magic. It gets you in a mind set "This is a space movie.. this is a space movie", last 45 mins of the movie "This is a fantasy movie". It's not believable where he ends up, descendants of humans building a 5 dimensional place? And man there was a lot of drama which feels like filler more than anything else. It somehow gave me the impression that it tries to be 2001: A space odyssey. The mistakes in the movie didn't bother me at all, maybe I was too focused on all the drama. Well there was one thing; Needing a rocket to launch your ship from Earth, but on an exoplanet they just use the lander. Either the rocket equation doesn't exist in an other galaxy or they've got their launching facts from "Space Chimps". Anyway, I wouldn't want to see it again. If I want to see a space drama then I'll watch "Moon", now that's a good movie. Or "The Astronaut Farmer", there's not a lot of being in space in that movie, barns are made of indestructible material and firing retros causes capsules to fall straight down. But at least the happy ending makes you feel good. Interstellar has a happy ending, but it doesn't feel like a happy ending. Or go watch "Gravity", at least the "You have to let me go" mistake had a reason to be in the film. ... And mentioning the moon landings... calling it fake. Shees, what point did that have? NASA in a secret base launching rockets in secret? Of course no one on Earth would every notice a huge rocket being launched. Almost forgot about the robots! The first time I saw one move, it looked like someone made a cardboard box suit(to be honest: a very well painted cardboard box suit) and was walking around in it. It seemed so out of place. The only good thing about the movie how it's shot and the CG. But you shouldn't watch it because of that. TLDR; This movie sucks and I'm gonna burn it in my backyard. Edit: and NO, love is NOT something that transcends space-time or reality as a whole. It's caused by chemicals in your brain!

The name Kerbal Space Program should be enough information on what should and shouldn't be added to the game. Militarization has nothing to do with that. I suggest installing the appropriate mods for such an addition or just go play a war/space combat game.

Send them to space in groups of 6 + 1 "pilot" on a F9 Dragon V2 for $26.5 million per seat, or $159 million in total. You can rent a Bigalow BA 300 for $25 million 60 days. You wouldn't want to spend more than 2 weeks, let's say 2 weeks comes to $15 with personal and other costs. Now I'm guessing that food is not included in this, so you'll need a supply mission: F9 Dragon $133 million. Let's say(guess) that's enough for 3 months, so $22 million for 2 weeks. So the total cost of 2 weeks in space for 6 people is $196, which is $32,7 million per person, or $2,34 per person per day. There are more than 1600 billionaires in the world and more than 63000 have more than $100 million. If 1% of those 64600 people would buy a ticket then they would make $126.616 million within 5 years. I like the VR googles in a Zero-G Airbus idea, let's start up that company. But unless we can tap into the brain and control it, we wont have any realistic VR. I also doubt that would be legal. It has to start somewhere. The space tourism could path the way for cheaper habitation modules. Why not do both?
