Re: Extraterrestrial colony companies
I put the break even price at about 3500 dollars for 65 seats. Is it worth 3 hours of your time? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but most definably cheaper than the concord. A transatlantic flight required the high-maintenance concord aircraft to gulp jet fuel at the rate of one ton per seat, and the average round-trip p...

Re: New weapon?
I would think people would be talking about the new intercepter howitzer round, can not kill you if it can't get to you. A U.S. Army howitzer successfully engaged a simulated cruise missile, shooting it down with a projectile traveling at Mach 5. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a33...

Re: Signs of life on Venus
Even if it's a microbial life form, it has to eat something in order to survive. What would that be? The bacteria in hydrothermal vents are chemolithotrophs. These bacteria use sulfur, as sources of energy to reduce carbon dioxide to organic carbon. I can see venus being one big stewpot for this ty...

It was proposed that the carbon-14 could be sourced from graphite blocks from decommissioned graphite-moderated reactors. [6] In 2018 a Russian design based o...

That is how I/O systems work.
