They also seem to suggest this is some kind of environmental disaster, but really don't quantify it in any way, basically saying "there's bad radioactive stuff down there". In reality, any negative impact of the radioactivity from the wreck is likely immeasurable and unobservable. We are doing much worse things to the ocean on a daily basis today, so its a quite comical (or maybe better described as ignorant) to point to this as an example of the environmental atrocities of the past. There certainly have been great environmental mistakes in the past, including many by the DOD and some even radiological, but this is not even remotely comparable.

How are they closer to solving the mystery just because they have scheduled a big meeting? Its that all it takes these days?

They need to use a Segway valve... that'll keep it upright.

We thought them chromebooks was gonna have some chrome on them, but no shiny chrome... we should sue too.

Branding does play a big role. A lot of teachers ,often those are not tech savvy probably already have Ipads/Iphones because they never considered anything else. There is likely an easier sell to stick with what teh most fearful are familiar with.

My kid's STEM school used Dell Chromebooks. They are very useful for doing what is needed, creating reports, researching information, submitting homework, and occasional collaborative activities. They are not a mainstay of the educational day, but a tool used at the appropriate time.

That is the heart of it. I imagine they publicly boasted quite often about how wonderful it would be to have the Ipads, without ever stating exactly how they would be used, but held it up as a sign of forward thinking progress.

OTOH, Apple knew better, and had the choice to bring their expectations down to reality rather than inflate them.

I think proven safe drivers can provide valuable input into an effort to understand safe driving. Safe driving is not a new body of knowledge, it is actually quite thoroughly researched and statistically assessed. The assumption that experienced, proven, trained safe drivers bring nothing to the table and that it can be better done without them may be its own form of hubris....or simple ignorance.

Its a very good suggestion. I think it is quite funny (and sad) how some responders completely dismiss experience as a useful input.

Good points. thanks

Maybe landing on a platform is not the best approach. Rather, I seems like some type of gantry that could grab the top of the rocket when it is just above the water would be easier and more reliable than having the rocket land and maintain its own upright position.

With ISPs now considered utilities, the path to similar restrictions is shorter and easier.

Which is a quite a big red flag in itself.

It might justify an accomplice, but finding one is very risky. Most folks will not want to participate and be compelled to turn you in just to protect themselves. I guess it would be easy enough to pay a guy to get your ticket for you. A better disguise may have helped.

What is really hard is getting the money in the end and not being noticed.
