How much it would cost the EPA to mandate the change? Nothing!
...how many of those ships are US-registered? A quick guess would be way less than 10%, if even that. Hell, much (if not most) US-owned ships are often flagged in Liberia (or some similar country) for tax/inspection/regulation purposes.
We may yet find out... most of the smarter escapees tend to wait until their deathbed to let something like that slip out.
I suspect that prison makes you learn a few things rather quickly...
You mean, didn't get caught. There's a difference.
They'd have to have kept those crimes to extremely petty ones at the most. Even though the 1960's didn't have facial recognition, the TSA (for what that's worth), instant background checks, widespread Social Security Number checking mechanisms, or any of the stuff we have today? They definitely had fingerprinting, and at least some semblance of a national fingerprint database of sorts to check against (the FBI would have had these guys' fingerprints after the break.)
They could have eventually slipped through the cracks even if they re-offended (e.g. it wasn't uncommon for, say, truck drivers to have multiple drivers' licenses from multiple states), but any crime beyond a misdemeanor would have had the local PD looking at some stranger (stranger in their town that is) and doing at least a cursory check, if only to build a rap sheet for the prosecution.
IMHO, if they made it, they likely hoofed it to Canada or Mexico (or perhaps further South) and built an assumed identity from which to live out the rest of their lives in as obscure a manner as possible. Over time, that new identity would become reinforced.
It wouldn't be the first time either... I recall a few instances in the '80s and even the '90s where some schlub or other escaped prison in that era (or before), got himself a new identity, and decades later did something stupid (IIRC, in one case the dumbass ran for a local public office, and a local reporter researching his background found the inconsistencies).
But it works in IE 6?!!
So, does this suggest a reasonable upper temperature for superconductivity?
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.
here you go:
FInally?
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.*
