Re: I don't get why this is so hard

“GREATEST plant and animal growth on Earth was during the Mesozoic period”

Only because they were allowed to, rather than being chopped down for livestock or livestock feed!

Men with hats.

Re: Oppenheim proposes to overcome the barrier with the idea of "wobbly spacetime"

What about second breakfast?

Flying cars had to be in the list!

And proper flying cars, like in films, not with all buzzy propellers!

Re: I hope someone will step up to the plate

Or her couch.

Re: Tom Baker

Pyramids of Mars and Horror of Fang Rock!

Re: Self destruct

"doing what NASA would never be allowed to do"

Both SpaceX and NASA are bound to FAA approval and both operate under the same operational restrictions.

Re: Fabulous, but…

Is that a type of marsupial?

Re: Thinking outside the box

Can be? Is!

Re: Space trash

Partially. Some will still not give a fig if it means they think they can buy themselves a perception of superiority.

Re: Smithsonian in DC

Yes for about 2 minutes.

“ remaining disconnected from the internet and it couldn't do a thing to hurt me”

Until, you see an AI drone hovering outside your window…

Re: A nightflight?

Superb. I can imagine a Buck Rogers spin off where Boney M get transported back from the 25th century to the 1970's!

Re: Artificial gravity doormat

It might be easier just to have a suction pad. I’m sure there is a well established east-of-England vacuum cleaner magnate who might be interested in the contract…

Obviously I realise this would need to happen inside an air lock!

Re: Ongoing

Ahem, ‘Viz Comic’!

PS. I have a complete collection from issue 12!

Re: 5 metres clearance?

“legal to shoot down drones over your own property”

In UK that will only be legal with a crossbow!

Re: "we find that more than half of what should be there today is missing"

“Dark matter” is just a placeholder until we can explain the gap in our understanding.

Moore’s Law

It’s only Moore’s Law because Moore said something that happened before it happened without any a priori knowledge, wisdom, or any workings out to show how it could be upheld. Like Fermat’s Last Theorem, Fermat could not have proved his own theorem, he was just the one that said it, and was eventually proved right, not because he knew he was, but just because he said he was.

Not a good idea, subduction leads to volcano chains which would spew radioactivity into the atmosphere, precisely the opposite of where it needs to be.

Re: CO2?

ULEZ is about NOx and particulates.

Re: While the world slowly turns n burns.

Yes they are, modern website design fully incorporates phone and tablet viewing.

The design is proven so why fix it if it ain’t broke?

Besides, it’s only 2 m tall, the Apollo landers were 7 m tall.
