I love that there's a visual theme throughout the games, you can see that it is the same person behind all of these. Somehow looking at this diagram makes me feel very soulful. I'm not sure why.

Europa doesn't have any clear commercial applications. Taking the "let's just wait for someone else to do it" approach seems like a recipe for it never happening.

The paradox is that he's skeptical of the crime labs, which have been used in convicting/sentencing people to death, yet in the quote he appears to state that there have never been wrongful death sentence convictions because of ta

This is a stupid way to get a progressive tax system. If you want a progressive tax system just do it and don't mess around with complicated schemes to avoid the political consequences of it. Tax the wealthy at 60-70% and everyone else

They want to be able to relatively quickly send it back into space. If they have to pull it out of the ocean and dry it out/fix it, I assume this makes their turnaround time less than ideal. Think what you do with a 747, it lands, a te

Well, there are certainly other ethical considerations than "most warm bodes". You also have to preserve human rights, for example. You could argue that trialing a potentially deadly drug took away a basic one from these people.
