I was hoping this book would be a recommended. It really, really focused, reinforced is really not the right word to use here, my views on nuclear weapons. This should be required reading.

100000 tons is 907184749 kgs and the max capacity of a starliner is 150000kgs. So to launch 100000 tons it would require 6048 launches or one launch a day for 16.5 years. That would mean we'd have all the mass launched by 2040, if we

So not really. Space mining is a very attractive idea but just not really feasible at the moment. I wrote a paper on attempting to capture the asteroid 433 Eros (a very attractive asteroid due to it's composition of rare metals [Data

Okay, so having gone down this path I can tell you it is impossible. To reduce the output of the sun by 2% at L1 would require 20 MM tons of metal. In order to launch that much tonnage we would have needed to start launching mass 500 years

Look, I've worked for 5 companies, 1 of which I knew would never sell and I had inklings that one other probably wasn't going to sell and instead was a lifestyle business for the founders, and the other 3 had successful exits. I

I am so hopeful that this happens. I was comparing the fees to see a band in the US or EU recently based on their tour dates and it was insane what US ticket prices came out to be. It was ~$54 for a ticket in the US because of all the jun

I can confirm the charging aspect. I've had a leaf since 2018 and we have a chademo fast charger, which only 1/10 stations have. It can be all but impossible to find a working, not in use chademo charger. I love, love the car,

Pharma is notorious for changing the formulation just enough to acquire a new patent to restart the clock. I wouldn't be surprised if the dosage was a factor in the process.

I too did this for my family, but with Ubuntu many years ago. I expected it to be a rather rough switch from Windows, but everyone migrated without a hitch. And the number of support calls went to basically zero.

I suppose this is true, but feels like the exceptional case. And why not have a reasonable policy that allows someone to appeal their hold limit and have it subjectively approved. I am a fairly prolific reader and I only have 7 holds spre
