So the next step is to figure out how to build the power plant in space instead of lugging all that material up out of the Earth's gravity well.

There's an advantage to the ships that a fixed location couldn't provide. With the ship, you can anchor the rocket and pull it into port without having to move the rocket itself after landing. On a fixed platform, you'd have

Having the right to an attorney does not mean that you are required to have an attorney. On top of that, if the persons family already has an attorney then I'd imagine there are all kinds of issues with adding a court appointed one to

So the whole thing is written in a form of shorthand and the core index/naming that define what the individual pieces are is missing. I wonder if this wasn't meant as a "production" manuscript but as a reference documen

I was using them as an example of a large company that would be reasonably familiar to the audience here.

The company would have to be huge to pull it off. One event like what happened in Houston could easily wipe out a big chunk of any fund they could amass. That kind of diversity could also be a problem if there are shared waterways, think ba

As a point of reference, implementing a broken, partially complete, and definitely error filled version of Scheme on C is how I finally wrapped my head around Lisp. I'd been running into that one for a long time before figuring out.

Sure you can, it just won't be "right." It depends on your use case and target audience if you care about "right" vs "functional." I'd say anyone who wants to really understand how programming works,

You could argue that it's a pay-per-use problem because of inherent unpredictability in that pricing model. When you have "big" resources behind you, it's less impactful but still and issue. The difference with a server

I would hazard a guess that these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_turtle_bean are the beans in question. They work quite well as an alternative to refried beans in Tex-Mex style food.
