Actually, their thrust vectoring is a new system I've never seen before, which creates shock waves in the exhaust inside the nozzle which deflects the exhaust. They claim it's lighter than other control methods. You can see it working in the video in TFA.

I'm not sure how well their method will work, but it's always interesting to see a new idea.

Just love the argument from incredulity. "It's more amazing than my puny brain can handle, therefor God!"

No, stupid. Try proving the claims that your religion makes are true. Prove miracles. Prove life after death. Prove Jesus rose from the grave. Hell, Prove Jesus ever actually existed. Prove that humanity came from a single breeding pair. Find the genetic bottleneck in our genes from when the world was reduced to Noah and his family.

I think the point of the article is to plant new forests (or rather replant the ones that were there before humans arrived). You're right that an already existing forest is carbon neutral, adding a 'new' tree will reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (and the amount of water, and a bunch of nutrients and stuff).

And they can't afford $500 for a phone or $800 on a game console but they still do. $1000 is within reach of enough people to be called "consumer grade". That doesn't mean everyone can afford it. Not everyone can even afford a computer, but we still consider them consumer goods.

To bad your faction is aiding and abetting, actually scaring people (but not too many, lest you upset the carefully cultivated 50-50 split that keeps the game going) into voting for democrats with the 'crazy' act.

Crazy, you say? Here's crazy, with a smattering of stupid thrown in. Ladies and gentlemen, the modern liberal:

Hank Johnson, D-GA
Sheila Jackson Lee, D-TX
Calvacade of Liberal Democrats
