Most of Pluto is going to be ice. Is the cap solid Nitrogen?

Bad news

Must be now.

The falcon can't throttle down enough to hover before landing so it has to approach the pad at high speed, and high acceleration. While doing this it has to rotate the entire vehicle to control lateral movement. It has to coordinate lateral and vertical acceleration to achieve near zero in all three axes at touchdown, with only one chance to get it right.

I doubt this can be done without extra thrusters for fine control over velocity and position.

The system I had to deal with: the intranet installed an activex component onto each workstation. The component checked to see if a USB device was mounted and if it was, it refused to connect to the internet. You had to disconnect the USB device, download your file, then reconnect it and copy the file. This was their idea of "security".

Korean more likely. Software architectures of theirs I have seen are a mess of hacks and patches.

Also its implemented directly in the CPU, so both encryption and decryption are very fast.

...who go on to help develop nuclear weapons.

ISS2 will do a single transit to and from Mars, possibly with time spent in a highly eccentric orbit around Mars, waiting for the return launch window. Russia will have to built their own space station which will presumably be MIR2.

The second mission may deploy a small vehicle to test aero-braking at Mars, and a landing on one of the moons. Maybe landing on the third mission?

Welcome to government procurement.

But wasn't this the argument about Hawaii, that it wasn't really a state when Obama was born there, but his mother was a US citizen, etc, etc.

The issue with Obama as it has been stated is that his mother was 18 at his birth and had not lived for five years in the US after she turned 18. So If your mother was under 19 you can't be president. For me, that fucking bogus. An obvious bug, written into the US constitution.

Saves the day again.

...because you can lose your ARM that way.
