Electric vehicle range is hugely affected by aerodynamic drag, particularly a highway speeds. What looks aerodynamic is surprisingly unrelated to the drag coefficient. So modern car designers do things to actually improve drag, which seem weird and ugly to you.

The Ferrari F40, a triumph of car design in the late 80s, has a drag coefficient of 0.34. The Koenigsegg CCX has a Cd of 0.30. A 2001 Toyota Camry has a Cd of 0.29. And my Nissan Leaf has a Cd of 0.28.

My most notably odd feature on the Leaf is the big bug eye headlights. At highway speeds, those headlights create a bubble of low pressure around the side view mirrors, significantly decreasing drag. I'm a function over form kind of guy, so I think it's awesome.

I wonder what kind of good could have been done, or how many lives could have been saved, with the thousands of dollars you've spent on a computer, a car, and a phone that you really don't need.

Or does your outrage only apply to rich people?

Remember when the Republicans in Congress fought against the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? This is why.

The CFPB was actually proposed by Elizabeth Warren, then still at Harvard. She was Obama's first choice for its Director, but her appointment was blocked.

Iran is free, as a sovereign nation, to respond to Stuxnet in any way they see fit. But they know that escalating the situation will probably go poorly for them.

Apparently some Russia shops are pricing items in "Nominal Price Units", which is code for Dollars.

You do know that all the blocks have already been bought up, right?
Of course you don't. Hell, you probably don't even know what I mean.

Some of us care about other human beings. If you can't get that, then please take a long walk off a short pier.

WTF are you tlaking about? What 'evil'? What 'therapy'?

Clearly you know NOTING about Cuba, so stop saying idiotic things.

The Goal we have for Russia is different then the one we have for Cuba, you simpleton.

Everything is better by any measure.
To quote Chris Rock:
Only President Obama could get gas to $2.50, end 2 wars, get bin Laden, bring unemployment below 8%, then be told he's failing as president.

You're funding my search, right?
Oh you're not putting you money were your mouth is? shocking.

They talk about lowering their price, but it's based on how prices drop in other areas' something we have learned that is foolish to do when it come to space travel.

"Okay, a fundamental question then... What's the mission? "
Develop technologies the make life here better? learn more about human biology beyond earth. Make another step to spreading our species, Conduct better tests on captures particle. Control descent to the planet with sensors. Look for life in the upper atmosphere.

How to you think you get to glorious cloud cities?
Through intermediary steps, that's how.*

*Alternative answer: Fly the Millennium Falcon**. I see what you were going to do there

** What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon!

Sealand isn't exactly a city, or visited by the mega rich.
