Thanks. What about with NO2, the other part of NOx? NO2 is listed in the link as 51.3 The higher oxides of nitrogen have smaller and eventually negative enthalpies. I assumed pure NO because that produced the reaction most likely to be endothermic. But it just ain't overcoming that much water as a ...

Funny you should post that, because you have captured the essence of what the National News and Entertainment industries look like from my perspective. Even more appropriate, they are on the side of Socialism, same as the NA tionalso ZI alistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei Ok, I have no problem with ...

Now we have a radiation shield that produces ethanol from sewage. How do you get a "shield" out of all that? There is no discussion of any shielding effect. Simply that some of the gamma interacts with melanin and produces energy. I did not see where a gamma meter was placed in front and behind the...

So you are telling me you know the reaction NH3 + NOx = N2 + H20 is endothermic? I know that it does not matter is that reaction exo or end if you execute that reaction in exhaust system. Because even that will be exo, that from exhaust pipe will not make more work, but simply will heat up an envir...

Yeah what a f*cked up series of laws. Corporations are people. Too bad US corporations can be owned by non US citizens and thus are able to influence your elections through massive financial contributions. Isn't China your biggest investor? Corporations have many of the rights of people because the...

Suppose initially the Golden Spike Company sets it up to be "tourism" or "exploration" etc., just as they appear to be doing but they accept "investment dollars" from initially fairly select clientele. To the public they are exploring and developing the moon and taking tourist shown on pay-per-view...

Just because he racially profiled someone doesn't make him a racist. and how can you say he didn't instigate the events? Mr Martin was on his way home with snackies and talking to his girlfriend on a cell phone. Do you think the Mr. Martin just walked up to Mr. Zimmerman and started a beat down? Ma...

Would love to see it. You should have led off with this. It would have saved us both a lot of wasted time. You seem to be laboring under the belief that I am either trying to or required to convince you of something. That isn't the case. I provided a comprehensive refutation of your argument for th...

So the hypothetical bank of Luna's primary source of revenue is electronic deposits from earth, fleeing taxes, earning interest tax free. The bank in turn loans money to people/businesses back on earth charging interest, generating profit. But are you suggesting that mined precious metals on the mo...

At least I got a concession out of you that they grow, which is in fact, the only salient point. If left alone, Drug usage grows. Beanstalks grow too but that doesn't make Jack and the Beanstalk true. The rest of your post is just the same tired junk. For those who are interested: http://www.econom...

This article is behind a paywall but it suggests very little. Apparently, helium can penetrate the shale rather easily and escape.

Fine. You disagree because you're completely ignorant of all the details concerning the kind of project you're talking about. You do realize there are millions of space enthusiasts around the world for the last 50 year writing on this, doing studies etc.? You're plucking useless data off wiki about...

Landing stuff on the Moon is very expensive. You can't use a parachute. The energy needed to get to the Moon and back is non-rivial and the energy needed to construct a hotel is enormous. There were some real studies on this back in the '70's. Moving stuff on or off the moon is relatively expensive...
