So how wide spread was it? Like is there a graph of illegal gambling participation by pop over time? I've run in many different circles in my life and I've never really come across any sort of illegal gambling. I know it exists[0]

I was describing a scenario where the teleoperated machines were used to build a base on the Moon with in situ produced materials, not one where materials are sold as export to Earth. But I'm curious to hear why you think that it will

For a while now I’ve been thinking that the solution to this kind of stuff is a sort of consumer version of the SLAPP technique. People need to start coordinating online the simultaneous action against particular corporate entities in whate

I think that $100 billion, spent effectively could have resulted in Von Braun Wheels in LEO. I think that it could have resulted in teleoperated lunar mining and smelting that would be allowing us to build human bases on Earth now instead

It may be building towards a system. Or it could all be cancelled in 3-4 weeks after these four explorers burn up on reentry. And then all these hopes and dreams that you have will be gone, like that $100 billion dollars just up in smoke

How many shotguns? How do they reload? What happens when they run out of ammo? Can they be hacked, or duped into firing at friendly aircraft? How will they deal with the enemy adapting their drones to have camoflage? There's no way au
