    Bombing them with a near lightspeed projectile would leave no nuclear waste. Although there would be significant backlash about trying to exterminate the intelligent life on another world, people would still want the unobtainium and would push for a peaceful solution. Humans are just going to...

    Spoilers I didn't like the ending. You just can't kick the human off and expect their to be peace everlasting. There is too much incentive for them to go to pandora because of the unobtainium. The humans could ran so much death from space andd I'm not talking about nukes from orbit, they could...

    Defying Gravity

    When I saw the promo for it I was like "they are totally ripping off Voyage to the Planets". Hopefully it's good, but it looks 'Desperate Astronauts' or 'Grey's Astronomy'

    College Laptop...

    Going to XP 64bit would be quite stupid, vista 64 is faster and better supported. I really don't get the hate people have for vista? It runs great, in fact, it runs better than xp on current hardware like you plan to buy. People just seem to hate the name 'vista' because win7 is NT 6.1 while...

I had to do this because saturn was on the other side of the sun from jupiter. It...

    fastest time to iss and back?

    I done a fast docking from KSC with both the Shuttle and DGIV. I got about 1000s with both, the limiting factor for me is docking, its too slow I need to learn how to dock without instruments. For getting back to KSC, thats limited because of the orbital times and reentry.
