Any form of gas has that problem. Methane and gas from wells also have a high leakage rate.
Doesn't mean we don't use LNG or methane in fuel cells, though.
fairly sure Iceland maintains a fleet of Hydrogen fueled vehicles, and they're just a stone's throw from Scotland.
The question is: what is a reasonable distance? most EV have that question too.
Fairly sure the Rich don't have a lawless security state in the States, it's just everyone else.
Americans in their own country might not have privacy rights, but Canadians signed a US-Canada treaty that gives them the same privacy rights in the US as they have in Canada.
Be polite (not hard if Canadian), but don't let them treat you like an American serf.
This is not bad for Microsoft, it is bad for Apple. If people start calling all tablets "iPads" then Apple may lose their trademark on the term iPad.
No, that's the iPhone 6 Plus.
Fairly sure it was IBM that had PCs before.
Oh, wait, there's the Blue Screen of Death, my mistake.
PACCAR near Seattle makes low emission and hybrid trucks.
There are electric bus lines. In fact, Seattle has some.

There are even fuel cell trains. In Canada.
We have the technology, we just need to end all fossil fuel subsidies and tax exemptions and cheap mining/drilling and the invisible hand of the marketplace will make them commonplace.
Isn't that just for string theory, which is still a bunch of pablum dressed up as science?

But, seriously, a number of my relatives who are physicists work on military or industrial applications.
Will check with them to see if it's as bad there.
Dragon isn't human capable.
Dragon is human capable. SpaceX could have thrown a human into any of its Dragon capsules and he or she would have been fine (if a bit bruised from lack of comfy chairs).
It's just not human *rated* yet. Which is an important distinction, but it's paperwork, not engineering.
As for safety record, their failures have all been for early prototypes testing risky new ideas. You're *supposed* to have accidents at that stage. Every rocket designer worth his salt has blown up a rocket or two in the early days: what matters is that you don't make mistakes when paying customers are on board.
My point stands
What's a pocket?
This is the 21st Century.
We all wear form fitting science uniforms and have jetpacks and flying cars.
What's a watch?
Actually, if you look at scientific papers, China generates a lot of them.
The space race of the 21st Century is over. China won, the US lost.
