Space colonization is inevitable, as is pretty much any other tech you could possibly think of. And if your really sad brained about lack of interest in space the minute China puts a man on the moon you bet your rear end we will have a man on mars in less than a 4 years.

fknlo posted:Thanks! I figured it was something blown completely out of proportion. The other thing is the Victim Impact Statement that the judge takes offense to contains this: quote:(Tommy Gray, father) The statement did not change the sentence, so any claims that the judge lowered the sentence because of the statement are bullshit.

Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you wanna sell it.

If you can figure out how to hydroponically grow poo poo on Mars with maximum water efficiency and little to no use of petrochemical fertilizers you can do the same poo poo tapping water from the nuclear desalination / uranium capture complex in the dust-wastes of the cursed Earth. You don't even have to worry about pesky engineering concerns like shielding it from ionizing radiation. Positive pressure might still be nice to keep the heavy metal PM2.5 from dusting your high efficiency maximized light absorption nutri-corn. The whole installation could be covered in IR reflective mirrors to lessen how much heat you have to pump back into the barren, acidic ocean from the facility cooling loop during peak hours. Radiative cooling would probably still be possible but the structures would be susceptible to megastorms since they require surface area. There's really no necessity for above ground structures short of entrance domes and garages for heavy surface excursion equipment for the occasional trip to the flooded Third World tomb-cities.

The Manhattan dome will probably work until a Sandy-esque storm surge erupts from the old swampy underbelly and spatters the inside with used condoms and subway gunk.

There's a gospel music concert at the White House tonight, starting at 7:25pm, featuring Bishop Rance Allen, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Aretha Franklin, Rodney Crowell, Rhiannon Giddens, Emmylou Harris, Darlene Love, Lyle Lovett, Tamela Mann, the Morgan State University Choir, and Michelle Williams — with T Bone Burnett as executive music director and Billy Maxwell as music director. This is the first one in over two years, but check out the archive if you haven't already. They're really good.

What, if anything, do non-Menendez Senators gain by consenting to congressional oversight for the Iran deal beyond feeling like they're relevant? Feeling relevant ain't nothing! And I agree with the Senators: Congress is a co-equal branch and should exercise that power to influence deals made in the name of the American people. If the President says he'll sign on, why not? I wish they did this more often, like, you know, debating when and how the country should wage war. But the less idealistic read is that this is something Israel desperately wants to kill. And if you look at the list of Senators on the SFRC, you'll see some of the biggest supporters of Israel from both parties. It'll be a bit more contentious on the floor, especially since Rubio has vowed to get a vote on an amendment to require Iran to recognize Israel as part of the deal (spoiler: Iran will not agree to do that!).

Congress hasn't liked the small role they have in foreign policy since the founding of the country. Now that declarations of war and formal treaties are no longer used as frequently congress has even less power compared to the presidency so they want to assert more of it. While there is a partisan aspect of it, there is also a separation of powers aspect of it too. Congressmen are loathe to vote something down that gives them more power.
