Napkin-math ... Long-term, Falcon9 exists to fund Spacex' R&D for Mars. Until now, Musk has said <5% of Spacex budget goes to ITS dev. I expect that to change now. 1st stage costs $40m, targeting 10 flights = $4m/flight,

Am I missing something simple? Trying to view the curriculum, the site is expecting me to log into a Google account... As part of an ever-shrinking minority that avoids using anything "Google", am I just out of luck on this? ETA:

I've seen the movie. It is the best--and most realistic--"first contact" movie I've ever seen. I have nits to pick with some of the details, but they're minor. You're specific complaint is a valid one, but i

I actually just bought Kerbal Space Program, because it's available on Linux, and also supports a vibrant modding community -- include a massive cluster of mods (Realism Overhaul) that turns the Kerbal solar system into a realistic sim

1) I have seen the movie, and read the post, and his opening claim that "there aren't any spoilers", is kind of not true. While there aren't any explicit, blatant spoilers, he does kind of rub up against the plot a lot

I'm into my second year of extreme Scottish showers -- first 5 minutes as hot as I can stand (and keep turning it up as I get used to the temp) ... last 5 minutes as cold as it goes. I expect there are legitimate physical health benef

Hi. I just now learned about MUBI, through this HN post. First and foremost, it looks great, and I will almost definitely be signing up tonight when I get home. Here's my gripe ... am I doing something wrong, or do I have to create a
