Was this a more economical approach than launching those missions on an expendable rocket, and just building brand new satellites? The shuttle program launched 135 missions at a cost of $209 billion (2010 dollars).

Highly recommend this irreverent podcast by 2 engineers and former NASA contractors. They get out above their skies on some topics but the shuttle content is fun. Episode 1: Why do Blake and Craig think the Space Shuttle was stupid? https:

A vehicle with a similar external sensor array has been parked in a lot near my workplace every weekday at lunch time for the past several weeks. Given the proximity to AC3 at Central and Wolfe, my coworkers and I had all assumed it was an

A giant leap backwards in information density. The "in the news" section is just trending hashtag fluff. "Easier Navigation" == More clicks to access the same content. And best of all... no option in settings to opt out.

For 8 years, this man had the option to walk humanity back from the threat of hair-trigger, launch-on-warning nuclear armageddon. An armageddon that would either destroy humanity in a single day...or perhaps merely starve a few billion in t

More unethical than manufacturers of nuclear weapons components, missiles and drones? Makes for a nice soundbite but I hope he doesn't actually believe this given Lockheed, Texas Instruments, General Dynamics, etc. are all a part of SV

On the AT up to a few weeks ago. A few hundred miles in a weekend hiker with one of these at a shelter let everyone recharge their devices and they were a modern Prometheus to us. If weight (33 oz + pot + utensil) were not such a crucial co

Having to negotiate some paperwork is a small price to pay for not dying of an infection. The ER is required by law to provide you with care, regardless of your ability to pay, or immigration status. They do not 'turn in' or &#x27

In the sturm und drang that has resulted from this tragedy, and the weeks to come of hand wringing about terrorists/crazyfolk/etc across the major news networks, I hope against hope that we can stow our reptilian brains for a brief while…

I'd like to again qualify my status as a non-expert with regards to the surgical aspects of trauma treatment and biochemistry. I have seen similar articles about the foam, and I must admit I am similarly skeptical. The ‘Golden Hour’ is one

I am a former critical care medic, and lack the scientific training to judge the merits of their claims about mechanism of action, but if history is any guide regarding ‘miracle’ products it will not live up to the manufacturers claims. The

I should have fleshed out that thought more fully. I agree it's a mouthful, but I was trying to convey that we no longer have to believe in such strange (bad) ideas because we have a new set of strange (better) ideas (connectomes and such)

It's obviously very hard to convey how much one advances in their practice in an objective manner without having an fMRI. The only real 'data point' I have in support of my experience was how radically my ability to watch my breath and main

Daniel Ellsberg discusses this in a great talk at the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. The US didn't think Khrushchev was insane enough to delegate control over the weapons (which we did and still do), but he in fact had. He revoked delegation

While the doctor's office may have been the proximate agent asking him to 'lie', the true culprit is the incomprehensible, self-contradictory system that elected and unelected bureaucrats in the US have cobbled together over the decades. If

Most definitely. If the patient's presentation suggests hypoglycemia, it isn't uncommon for a medic to test the glucose level with their machine and administer oral glucose (D50 IV if obtunded) without even getting to a detailed physical th

I'm just postulating. I am a cubicle monkey in medical publishing nowadays and use support staff for tasks that don't require a higher level of expertise, thereby freeing up my time to produce more value.

I understand the importance of learning to do things for oneself within an organization, but at a certain point doesn't it become wasteful to have someone making $50/hr fetching packages when it could easily be done by a lower wage earner,
