Proven technology - not necessarily superior.

that said military thinking prized proven above all else... so your point is valid until proven otherwise.

In case you are not up on not so current events, the last attack on the US was executed by a few guys with box cutters and multitools.

Sadly, I think humans will be the side blowing peace loving civilizations to shit.

You have no basis at all for your assertion that the hypothesis is unlikely.

Here's your explanation:

1) We don't know shit about the universe, physics, or exobiology

2) We have not been listening very long

Give it time - lot's of time.

Canada is in a unique position that they can enjoy being nuclear free, but has all of the benefits of having them due to proximity to the US.

(Not to mention some of the problems as well - like being a target regardless of their nuclear posture.)

I've always likes that one, along with the fighter that would land on its tail.

I worked as a NASA contractor for a while, and there was not any getting rich on the green badge side of things I can assure you.

Some of the games are great fun. Ballistic in particular. Not a lot of thinking involved, but fast, fun, and pretty.

Draw Rider is good on the Ouya as well. A couple of others come t mind.

My kids refuse to play it for the most part - they are too into their Xbox.

As does NASA out of the Palmdale DAOF which is much closer to LAX. That said IIRC it takes the ER-2 about 45 minutes and over 200 nm to get to 60,000 feet depending on initial fuel load and climb speed. Usually there wasn't a problem operating over national airspace... they go out over the ocean, climb, and go feet dry over Vandenburg (ish).

(I wrote software for an instrument that went on the ER-2 (the white one, the black one was off doing something classified), and later helped integrate that instrument on said plane.)

...if you are joining at this point (300 people???) you are an employee. Not a founder, not a low badge number... you may as well be going to work for some megacompany.

Maybe you'll get some nice options, but you are way late to this party.

That is exactly what I thought the moment I saw this.

Kids these days.... sheesh.
