Why do you start by sniffing asses? Seems like a perverse exploit.

No, union plumbers paid hourly.

I see the planets

>> The planets' relatively small size explains why infrared observations couldn't pick them up.

I see the outer one at about 8:00 on the ring and the inner one at 5:00.

Re: Commercial space

Re: If I were picking an elsewhere, 1 Ceres would be my first pick.

Well you're not picking, Musk is, and he picked Mars. If you want to go to Ceres, make a billion dollars, start your own rocket company, and get on with it. Or just buy one of his rockets, I'm sure he would send you to Ceres for the right price.

Re: 1 million ton oxygen deficit

"When you have all the oxygen in a volume of the ocean removed"

A 1 million ton oxygen deficit in the Gulf of Mexico is not the same as "all" of the oxygen removed. The article never said that.

Pretty effective really.

If you ask me, the email was pretty effective. If it had been your normal boring email, it would have been ignored. Instead the reg made it a FoTW. Now we all know that Tesla disagrees with the original report. Brilliant.

Ads

I got "industrial Dispense Robots" and "The 9mm is no defense". I love Google ads.

>> that money would have been well spent employing every mexican in california.

So about 4 million in California...That's about $30 each. It won't employ them for very long.
