The Rocketdyne F1 Was designed in 1955 and put men on the moon
Please explain how they repeated the achievements of the Soviet N1?

If you look at the original post, the AC was disparaging the article for focusing on coding over the 'rest' of computer science
My intent was to point out that coding involves a set of skills that have a wider general application than just focusing on computer science, which could be likened to training a person for a trade
I thought that I was being clear, and other posters seemed to get it, but you missed the point and essentially repeated what I said
Thanks for playing
start with learning logical foundations, then offer specific implementation skills if they desire it
at least you would end up with admins that have some foundations in development skills, rather than admins who memorized the manual for their favorite tech stack
There are elements of coding that require planning, logic and completeness that have impacts far beyond computer science. Teaching people to rack servers and install operating systems becomes for focused and resembles learning a trade. While there are plenty of positive outcomes of learning a wide range of computer science skills, I see the effects of learning how to code as having a wider positive effect
It looks like United Launch has been working on human rating the Atlas V and building a Crew Transportation System since 2006

I can only imagine that this sudden rush of PR is due to SpaceX's recent smear of UL for locking them out of the military space market
Nobody is suggesting that people use nuclear energy in their homes... Nuclear works best with large reactors in isolated areas that rely on the power grid to get electricity to customers
The electricity from that source is great for generating hydrogen for fuel cells and powering manufacturing that is required for building components of 'clean' energy projects
We really need to get off of using fossil fuels, and no industry will do that with a solution that is more expensive like solar, wind, etc... nuclear is the most cost efficient alternative to fossil.
the WTO has legal protection for polluters in developing nations the prevents other nations from raising trade barriers to using their goods
We need to reevaluate the designations that were made in the mid-nineties and make them relevant in a world where China and India are economic powers
It's not even all of the environmentalists, check out Patrick Moore:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
He used to be the President of Greenpeace and was *ahem* asked to leave, primarily due to his advocacy of Nuclear Energy
At this point Greenpeace is as stuck in its position of advocating against Nuclear Energy as the NRA is against gun control, and they are both looking like obstacles to any positive change in the status quo
By working against Nuclear Energy, Greenpeace has managed to be as big a supporter of continued fossil fuel dependence as the Koch bros.
There are plenty of smart environmentalists out there, and the uninformed ones should be donating their money somewhere besides Greenpeace
Siddhartha is supposed to have come from royal birth in a society that practiced Hinduism. He was supposed to have been from a high station of birth, and in that tradition it carried on all sorts of entitlements and indications of superiority due to reincarnation
He had rejected all of the benefits of his birth, and apparently the existing religious norms in the search of truth
In the course of these endeavors he reached ultimate defeat, and at the end of his rope, realized the truths that he went on to teach that have been called Buddhism
There was not a lot of focus on the mechanics of an afterlife, just that a person should work to detach themselves from the wheel of life (reincarnation) to become free enough to gain greater realization
Buddhism was developed in a world that viewed reincarnation as 'normal', and it grew widely in a world where that was a common belief (along with ancestor worship and more secular traditions like Confucianism), so it it not unusual to see it reflected in the traditions, but at its heart Buddhism seeks to free the individual from the bonds of reincarnation
Yes, what I meant is that when faced with increasing deficits due to his tax cuts and military spending, unlike Reagan, he refused to push his party towards accepting tax increases
Reagan was a moderate compared to the current gopers and their quest to find the next Reagan will fail because their would reject the real Reagan as a rino
And yes, the middle class will bear the brunt of this and considering the reliance on sales taxes, the poor will pay more towards this debt as well
What needs to be said is, no I do not hate the wealthy, but yes I feel that they need to pay more in taxes, considering that they have done so well in the economic environment that this country created for them
And, if they decide to leave this country in droves, then they can enjoy higher taxes in Europe, political corruption in Asia or the costs of paying for their own police force and infrastructure anywhere else
Actually, Reagan initially cut taxes and then (unlike the teapartiests of today) realized that he would have to raise taxes, which he did
Reagan also (like the op said) increased military spending dramatically and cut social programs, effectively diverting the tax revenues from the poor to the wealthy
Bush 2 played the game much harder and kept tax cuts in place while riding the national debt to new heights. As far as military spending went, they kept the mounting war debt off the books, which magically made Obama responsible for it when he brought that debt back on the books
It IS all the childish games that the gop has decided to play on Americans that have put us in this position and no amount of o'really bloviating or hannity shouting down the truth will change that
seeing as you are the 'fake' globaljustin I'll just take you as a troll
AC talking smack... wowers
