Impactors in MIRVs are not allowed. The US suggested using them but Russia said no because there is no way to distinguish from a nuke and will be treated as a nuke. Rather, I should say, they can't be used under the 'conventional weapon' designation in an MIRV.

It's nice to have the skill mastered first because you can fix things.

Repetitive tasks are best done with jigs imo.

You would need uvc and that's extremely dangerous to skin.

It doesn't take long to figure out if a news site has an agenda, which is a red flag.

SpaceX has just got the moonlander contract.

It appears to me that Mars is Musk's folly and his accumulating wealth is the means to that end.

Right.

I think it's one-way trip for the first Mars landers. There's no way to take off again.

Making instruments from the same tree will produce different results because even a single tree is not homogenous. There's a luthier on a guitar forum with an engineering bent been doing it for decades and he can't get his guitars to sound the same. There's a fair bit of BS about using different woods to get different sounds... there's too much crossover between species. You have to find the piece of wood -of any kind - that fits your target sonic envelope.

I think this incident in particular highlights the seemingly common habit of police unnecessarily escalating routine traffic situations.

OP: In the useful life of the device, I doubt it.

Theoretical range for nuclear propulsion is 150-350 km/s*. Did a quick calc for travelling to Proxima Centauri at the maximum speed and turned up a figure of around 5815 years. I wouldn't call that a reasonable time, and that's with technology that's still a pipe-dream. That's just 4.37 LYRS covered. * https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3303

But it's necessary technology for interstellar distances to be traversed in reasonable time.

It is reasonable, I think, to think life of some form exists elsewhere, but just a WAG to conclude they can travel between stars. The rate of evolution may limit how far an organism can develop at this point, anywhere. You work with the physics you know... you are ssuming they have near-luminal travel nailed as well.

That could be it and my memory has altered it.

A slight digression: I read years ago a pilot ejected from an EE Lightning jet that wasn't fitted out for him and he lost his legs because he was too tall for it.

Yes, women, being typically shorter, apparently handle high g's better than men.

Ordinary electrical resistance is a source.

AFAIK it only pertains to the US government wrt its citizens.

This is in today's AP news:

Top priority in crises: clean bottoms.

You know better than I do. I just looked to see if there was such a thing as terahertz sound.
