Alphabet, meet Success Machine.
SM, meet Alphabet.

You should get on just fine. Both of you use meaningless precision to make dubious calculations based on flimsy foundations in areas you don't really understand.

And then extrapolate the answer beyond your ability to comprehend...

Being able do Maths and being able to think critically are actually extremes of human behaviour. Give you your due, you're good at Maths - except for the silly mistakes, but that's the critical thinking bit, eh?

Just how much of the fuel from a space launch do you think achieves escape velocity?

Why would anyone ever want to calculate people using spaceships like cars? We don't use airplanes the same way, even after decades of proven flight operations, cost reduction and safety advances.

Which SF show have you been watching for maglev spacecraft and energyless photon drives?

        Then you obviously agree that private space industry will be rather limited in scale (n/t) - P - 7/21/2004 10:26:46 AM
