Broke my brain reading the title.
chapter 2 is possibly the most difficult thing i've tried to read. bearing in mind "things i've read" include graduate-level texts on differential geometry, algebraic topology...
it's well written, nicely structured and incredibly logical, but it's dense. it's sooooo dense.

we already put rovers on Mars before, this is cool and all but people are going fucking nuts over it. call me when we colonize the moon.
have you seen the size of this rover compared to the others
We'll just save that call for something important, like scientific proof of God or a new flavor of Marlboro you'll like.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Its a hugely impressive achievement, more so if it continues to go to plan.
Fuck Israel
Its not just the landing, its the way they have landed it. Crazy sci fi stuff. They called it an automated sky crane.
Reminds me of the landing in Aliens wiht the dropship flying off after the APC clears
Because SCIENCE!Reinvent the Toilet Fair
Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist, wants to talk poop. Literally. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is hosting a "Reinvent the Toilet Fair" on August 14 and 15, is on a mission to build a better crapper. Why? Poop is a worldwide problem.
Since when do toilets need power?

I don't really care if you said space elevators would be better, even remotely considering nuclear rockets viable for ground to orbit transportation viable is beyond ridiculous. The environmental impact, the non-fatal ramifications, the fatal ramifications...jesus. You're really willing to kill someone for a space launch? Did you consider the population has more than doubled since 1960? That population is growing at an exponential rate? That advancements like this are not one-off deals, that we need something that can be done over and over and over?

To be fair, I also came off as a retard in that conversation.
