The "more laws" the more resources are dedicated to then relatively unproductive ends. When the Ro...

Who are you calling sweetie, you jackass?

As I understand it, they decided not to fund retropropulsive landing of the capsule so they could throw that money toward BFR (or whatever its called this week ;) ). If something comes up to change that, however, - say, NASA wanting to have Dragon 2 land on the moon - I'm sure SpaceX will be more t...

The address of the whole ENN Group is accessible at http://www.enn.cn/wps/portal/enn.en , but I have not been able to locate the symposium site from there.

Fluidic? The article doesn't say it has liquid electrodes like a vanadium battery. Do you have a link?

It would be quite humorous if a man-made crystalline structure of paired lithium atoms turned out to be a key material for the Mach Effect device. :roll: What's worse is that over 60 years ago, Vernor von Braun wrote a book about the settlement of Mars.
