Driving drunk is ALWAYS wrong.
Closed course with instructor - can be very instructive to the student hitting pylons he missed 30 minutes earlier.

The disclosure notice said 38 Studios employed 379 full-time workers as of March 15, with 288 of them in Providence and the rest at its other studio in Maryland. The company also reported 34 full-time contractors and eight interns. The company listed 18 job openings on its website as of Monday evening.
Almost 400 people - I guess average salary must have been in the $30-$40K range.
the only thing they could have done better is control their staff. i'm sure there's group emails going round there to that effect now.
the problem is, when they have a big robot looking for life on Mars, everyone's going to assume that when they call a press conference, they'll announce that they've found life on Mars.
Grotzinger is not NASA staff - he is a Caltech professor. And Curiosity is equipped to look for organic chemistry, not current life.
And NASA guy *did* say it was going to be the one for the history books. People hear than and don't assume he means "History Of Martian Soil Chemistry, Volume 3".
Not NASA guy. Caltech professor, lead investigator, not a NASA spokesman!
NASA can't keep up being the "boy who cried wolf." People will just stop listening if every little thing is "breakthrough" and something "earth-shattering!" My goodness.
You know that Grotzinger probably does not even work for NASA right? He is a Caltech professor, likely that Caltech pays his salary. He is not a NASA employee or spokesman.
You really have not gotten your facts straight, but do not fret you might have an excellent career as a science reporter
We would never know...
Sure we would - we just watch "The City on the Edge of Forever".
All problems have their solutions in the original series....hardly any need for time travel beyond 1972.
Perhaps this is typical NASA contractor testing overkill.
My guess is contractor PR overkill - need to get as much press as SpaceX you know.
By Jim Carson Subscription Term Name:1 year By nature, this is a very depressing publication: Peter Garrison reviews aviation accidents that usually resulted in someone dying. One subscribes NTSB reporter in hopes of avoiding similar mistakes. A shorter version of Peter Garrison's NTSB columns appear in Flying Magazine. NTSB Reporter's trademark is a *much* more thorough analysis of a specific accident. It's immensely thoughtful, but I would not leave copies lying around on the coffee table for non-pilots or spouses. to see them.
I suppose that the average recreational pilot takes more care than average car driver, yet the NTSB reporter can be summed up as follows - 1) forgot to gas up the plane 2) did not check the weather report 3) was in a hurry 4) the other 1% of accidents.
I do not think any driver is good enough to always pay attention - unless they simply turn the robot off.
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.
