yeah but there are still blimps

I worked on space rated instruments at NASA Goddard for a while, and talked to a very old dude who claims to have seen this happen once in his very long career.

I believe TFA said the point of deleting in that fashion *was* to be obvious,

Who cares where the body is if they have captured the mind?

...was too difficult?

You don't say.

Clearly you haven't been hanging around this site for very long.

Dying before being brought to justice only means you got away with it.

Windows 8.1 is actually quite decent.

Windows 7 is actually 6.1.

Windows 8 is 6.2 .

Go figure.

Like all viruses, we will mutate as we infect different hosts.

Well just F up that planet too.

The concept of treating planets as disposable vessels for humans to be sucked dry and then we move on basically makes us a cancer.

It is simply so that they don't have to print two boxes, and they sell more TV's in the US.

Maybe it is just a supposition that closed minded persons generally don't come to the best/most appropriate conclusions.

Well, it is hard to say about that. Ship to ship combat in space would probably be carried out by drones. The fragile meat bags inside would never survive the acceleration.

I sat in a radar site in Hawaii at PMRF staring at a screen during the tests I supported. A target missile was launched from a pad a few miles away (you sure as hell could hear and feel THAT!) and the intercepting ship (as in a US Navy guided missile cruiser, not a space ship) was a couple of hundred miles away. The launches I witnessed... in under a second the target was through the clouds and five seconds later was gone leaving just a trail. The interceptor makes the target look like an old lady trying to out sprint Usain Bolt (I am told it would be supersonic before it leaves the launch tube on the ship... but I never saw a ship launch but every sailor I talked to who did said it was very impressive for the brief moment they got to experience it - from inside the ship.)

Other than that there was nothing to see. The intercept itself was over the horizon, so it had to be "viewed" from an aircraft.
