They may be skipping small portions of the post-print qual. Or more likely, they're just more confident that the pieces being created are of a certain level of quality. It's a hype-y statement but they're probably trying to h

I don't think you're reasoning is actually sound here. Nasa doesn't have the capability today, but that does not mean that the capabilities that they are building for tomorrow are "batshit Insanity". This is a very

We are going to The moon for two reasons. First, we want to set up a more permanent base. Nasa refers to this as "we're here to stay" The second reason we are going to the moon so that we can put the first person of color and

The idea of stealth is tested every day. When missions are planned the capability of the aircraft determines what missions is can fly. A stealth aircraft can factually fly closer to an enemy's AA system without being detected.

We want to make sure people believe in the deterrent. If people start to think they could take out all of our nukes somehow that would be dangerous.

"Root for" someone means to cheer for someone or look forward to someone's success. You root for sports teams, your kid to do well on their test, or for your candidate to win an election. Barrack in British English can mean t

It kind of seems like you are being unscientific and politically motivated.

I believe you are correct. Relativity is now only printing engines, just like SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Astra, Firefly, Stoke, and others. They are no longer a company driving forward 3D printing technology and that's too bad.

Consequences for my own inaction play an incredibly important motivational role for me. I don't get motivated by sunshine and rainbows, I personally get motivated by consequences. So it's great that we can provide people 6 doses o

It's not very far fetched to detonate a nuke in space. The Russians can already do this without developing a brand new weapons platform. The idea has been around a long time. This was the plot of CoD MW2 If someone nuked above the US

I can think of a few extremely good reasons to go "Deathcon 3" against military satellites. For example, if the enemy derives more benefits from space than you do.

Unfortunately your son is uncommon and for every kid who "counts in binary" there are dozens of kids in Juvenile Hall, on food stamps, no job, government handouts, sub-100 IQs. Your son may generate untold wealth and a portion of

White Aspiring! That's a new one. I'll go tell my wife her parents didn't move here to flee communism. They actually fled to this country so they could be white!

If the market determined the price of parking then people would flip out because parking was only affordable to the middle class and it would instantly be framed as an anti-poor thing.

It is a shame we're seeing a divestment in 3D printing technologies. Relativity Space recently descoped their entire 3D printing department, but I believe they still may be using some commercially-acquired printers. I hope we can see s

The most precise definition of money laundering may be that. But in general, laundering anything means to pass it off as something it may not be, particularly in a dishonest way. But good on you for really getting your definitions down I&#x

If your argument reduces to "money isn't real, it just stands for something real" then I'm just not sure you and I are going to have a constructive discussion.

"Money laundering" as in the flow of cash and assets is obfuscated to appear as something it is not.

I don't know of any technology that can respond to the injury of its passengers by sending them to the hospital. That doesn't mean it can't happen, it just isn't a reality yet. I hope it gets there and most importantly I

> You know what driverless cars can't do? Redirect a passenger to the emergency room due to acute problems that occur in the car. You state this as a fact with absolute confidence. That's interesting. Not only do I respectfully

It is not because the entity issuing the dollar (America) grows and produces stuff. Ponzi schemes are money laundering schemes. These are entirely different.

Which gold standard? There are many. Is everything backed by gold? So no loans, debt, or bonds? This is deflationary because the total value of stuff grows but the monetary base stays the same. Is there a fiat currency backed by gold? How w

Our taxes cover entitlements, military, and debt. That's it. Everything else is coming from the deficit. The Republicans have cut taxes to an unsustainable level. No matter how big or small the rest of the government is, the tax base i

I'm not sure why you're continuing down your argumentative line. Do you really not see the forest through the trees? You have even rebuttalled against the other person, you just keep saying "nuh uh what about X"

We have urgent problems and theoretical, future problems. CO2 levels are an urgent problem. NE can help here. Nuclear waste is not an urgent problem today and likely will never be as urgent as climate change.
