Given how vehemently the Senators were in forcing NASA to create a second award for HLS, I wonder why there is no backup for SLS+Orion.

I have an eithical dilemma for you. As of now on an average 33000 ppl are killed in road accidents in USA. Lets say Tesla's or other ICE makers' autopilot reduces this to 20000 deaths. But of those 20000 deaths, say 2000 were pure

Thanks for this. I don't know why people make easily disprovable statements. Do they think their ability to mislead is greater than peoples ability to read financial statements? Furtermore, CNBC brought on the "biggest" bear

I am stuck too in my work. I can't quit because of my commitments (also i am too scared to quit and be on my own). Any way. One thing I know is that I do well when I am learning new stuff. So my goal for next 5 years: learn Quantum Com

Your comment reminds me of the Star Trek TNG episode Peak Performance. Data wins the rematch by playing to stalemate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_Performance_(Star_Trek:_T...

So what you are saying is a person looks at $4 a gallon and thinks hey lets buy a Tesla which costs $100K. And suddenly the same person will say no reason to buy a Tesla because now a gallon costs $2. This person doesn't sound like the

Actually context matters here. If some one from USA/UK/France, for example, learns a new language it definitely is a surprise. May be blows the mind is not the right word. On the other hand, it is common for people from Southern I

There is an enormous difference between writing in English and writing like Shakespeare, Hitchens, Rushdie, or Stephen King. When it comes to coding most people confuse learning syntax with writing great software.

Hmm. $90,000 per year. Looks like people in developing world like India are out of luck.

My take is that there is no meaning of life. We impose our own meaning to get by.

Ok. I will give you that. I said ~18000 which is the suicide/accident number. I should have said ~12000 for homicide. But it doesn't change my argument at all.

So what you are saying is you are ok with 10000+ deaths year over year for many many decades to counteract an extremely remote chance of US federal government behaving like Saddam or Assad? On top of it even if US Feds wanted to murder thei

Yes. People kill people. But people don't kill other people with bare hands. May be they do but it would be such a minute fraction that it is not worth talking about. So given that people do need weapons to kill other people which weap

Regarding the correct form of don't panic, I am with you. I have absolutely no clue when it comes to Latin {on the other hand I can talk my way out of any situation in more than a few south Indian languages}. I was fooling around with

Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate it. I will check the suggestion you gave. Also, looking at my nick name here "zhaphod" you can guess I am a bit of Hitch Hikers nerd. So the most famous quote from DNA is "Don't Panic&q
