I agree about the TBM's but remember TBMs are one off. I think they may have more reusabilty in space, but still the TBMs you need on the moon are smaller. I think you can create a self-sustaining colony of 100000 on the Moon with TBM's and some seed materials ( oxygen, nitrogen, etc ... ) much more easily on the Moon.

Once such a colony is built there, then it can be used much more easily to build a colony on Mars.

Maybe rthey can pay students yo remove it.

First of all teaching people to code in Javascript is litterally to condem them to years of demented reasoning.

Ruby OTOH has basic structures which work well together in simpliefied structures ala Smalltalk, so that's n ot a problem. If you need R's capabilities just add on R's libraries.

There are many languages such as Ruby where learning the basic constructs for use as a DSL is a good idea.

Awk Awk

It's the fault of global warming.

Awk Awk.

Airbrush body paint? Never heard of it. Doesn't it tickle?

It's made from those pesky chemical thingys.

I think a more interesting question is will gaurdians be allowed to put children in cars alone?
