Everyone laughed, because absolutely no one connects their phone's mail client to their webmail provider. That would be crazy . (or they're a bit clueless about how their work phone connects to some sort of IMAP host)

You're imposing constraints where there are none, and declaring physical law as an insurmountable barrier, because you are sourcing all materials involved as terrestrial in origin, and insisting on reusability. Magnetic induction would

Prove to me that a rocket simply MUST be burnt, to set an orbiting mass in motion. Propellant is a conventional means, but certainly not the sole means. Magnetic induction could eject a slug from an orbiting platform, or inert gases could

Reading about DMT hallucinations is pretty fascinating, but at some point it conincidental to DMT's popularity, I became firmly convinced that a feedback loop had developed. More people took trips after hearing wild trip reports, and w

Yes, and flying as fast as a bullet directly into another bullet travelling in the opposite direction means an impact at twice the speed of each.

Okay, so aerial combat in the form of interceptor dog fights is an anachronism. Big deal. It's still worthwhile to develop high-performance piloted airframes, since people are still actors in any conflict, and will need to operate with
