It's Planetary Resources that wants the U.S. to break the treaty. Remember that name. No doubt it will become the Wal-Mart of outer space.

If that's the price of actually developing space industry to the point of having a Wal-Mart of outer space, so be it. Then I can buy me a space ship and fly... past the sky.

Comment waste of time (Score 1) 103

Should be copying Oregon's Vote-By-Mail system instead.

No lines, no having to get across town after or before work, all resulting in better voter turnout, particularly among those with the most trouble accessing the vote (ie, minorities, poor, and low income workers).

Which is precisely why they'll fight it in every other state.

Yeah, it's surprising how people want to make things better, instead of just worse for everyone.

This MRA myth that it's about numbers needs to die. It's about access to the professions people want access to, regardless of gender. Thus the underlying assumption is that women aren't interested in science, which is demonstrably false.

How about no one has to mine coal or collect bottles to survive? I bet that blows your mind, huh?

Comment Re:And in other news (Score 1) 295

+4 insightful, with no evidence or even logic presented. The fact is that in many counties 50%of science students at university level are female. The numbers are equalising in work too, although obviously it takes longer. So on what basis do you claim women are less interested? Other countries don't force them into science.
