Part of my training is in philosophy of technology, and I have been very focused on space sciences for the last 15 years. So by studying how spacecraft do what they do, it naturally occurs how one might improve this or that. So instead of sitting down to ask "what can I invent?", I ask "how...

Most startups do begin with an exit strategy in mind, where they hope to go IPO within 5 years. We're not that way at all. Especially if the thruster works, we're expecting exponential growth for more than the next decade, so leaving before then doesn't make sense unless you want to retire...

I somehow missed the Hawk was flying. So have you used the EMP on it? What do you think of it?

I had a similar experience. Not only did I pursue a PhD because my ex wanted me to teach at university, but I changed careers twice, so now I have three undergraduate majors, a minor and I work in a seemingly unrelated field. My friends give me grief pretty often for all the hours I work...

Great review. Yeah, I think Jedi Academy was the last of this kind, and I loved that game. I have to say I understand the cheering for single player, because interacting with any other players does tend to break immersion. Almost no one roleplays in group games. So if what you want is...

The only propellantless solution that does not propose to violate the Conservation of Momentum, nor any other canon physics: https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2018_Phase_I_Phase_II/Mach_Effect_for_In_Space_Propulsion_Interstellar_Mission/ I was a member of the team at Fullerton...

I'm an inventor and CEO of a small aerospace startup. We have over a dozen IPs to bring to market within about 2 years and the first 3-4 within a year. Our most important work however is the most speculative and highest risk--it is in advanced propulsion development. Actually, I have a...

No, no, no! Say it ain't so! I am so tired of people screwing with our language to control our minds. It is all an evil plot! EVIL I TELL YOU!!!

I'm not offended and certainly anyone can hold whatever opinion they like! I will own I am always defensive of George Lucas and his contributions. George has gotten dumped on mightily since the forth movie came out, and honestly there are very few storytellers in history who have worked so...

People dress up at SC events, and carry cool looking guns. You can win friends and influence people if you shoot cheeze at them. Behold, the power of cheese.

I think you could catch them in your mouth and you'd be fine. I also think the be fun for cosplay, you'd want a cordless leaf blower, but probably the con folks would not object to use indoors. You could actually shoot people.

I don't pay for any entertainmentn sevices, but I would pay for this. What I'm curioous about is how long untiul it finds its way to DVD/Blue ray release. If it's like GoT, I could wait half season and just pick up the discs at the library.

You will understand if many of us strongly disagree. CIG can stipulate whatever they like. This does not change life, the universe and everything. Are you suggesting we consider the ships page authoratative when in all these years we have always heard and said it is not? Nothing there is...

Ahsoka Tano is famous for holding her light saber in reverse grip often. Almost all the time she is running, she holds it reversed. What this means is, she is ready to infight, meaning if she is surprised, she is able to fight at zero range. Given she is small with a short reach, habitually...

Lucas spent 20 years trying to do a live action TV series, and was never able to do it. IIRC, he leased The Presidio to build an addition to Skywalker Ranch, just to house the world's largest computer network dedicated to doing the 3D modeling necessary to a TV series, and eventually had to...

I highly recommend ignore this guy. He is so ignorant of the thing he is pretending to teach that I was not able to watch more than half the vid. WHEN HE SAYS that the rear foot goes to the side in order to provide lateral stability, he is not only wrong, but in complete disagreement with all...

I think it is a mistaken notion that demanding anything would ever get you anything. That's not how this works, IMHO. I see no mechanism where you could force any demand on CIG. They would be hard pressed to not laugh at you, though I'm sure they would all act as if taking you quite...

There are some great teachers here at TEST, including guys who used to clear rooms for a living--real soldiers who know how to stay alive.

I did not realize that. You're sure the locks won't work on anything parked on it?
