This BMW is ugly as sin and only has half the range.
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame

Deny, deflect, belittle and attack. Right out of the "Rules for Radicals" playbook.
You're a good little Alinskyite, aren't you?
So you don't have an opinion, but you think that only right-wing groups protest and boycott to get people fired?
You may want to check out all the protests/petitions on moveon.org -- hardly a right wing organization. Think of all the groups boycotting Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, etc. Do you suppose those are "right wing groups" doing that??
its wrong to deny people basic rights based entirely on religion
Like denying someone the right to remain in a job based on their religious beliefs?
its not wrong to be intolerant of intolerance.
Thank you for saying this. I've been turning the other cheek for far too long. I'm tired of being tolerant of those that are intolerant of my deeply-held religious convictions. I'm out for retribution now. There will be BLOODSHED TONIGHT!
I feel happy that people have pushed such a backward thinking person out of a position of high power. good for mankind! yay! there's still some hope for us, yet.
Oh...I see, your whole "intolerant of intolerance" only applies to those you happen to agree with. Bummer.
Care to cite any sources to backup those claims?
4 people have died in 2 separate Soyuz accidents.
There have been other non-fatal incidents in Soyuz. Here's just one such example:
April 19: Soyuz TMA-11 suffered a reentry mishap similar to that suffered by Soyuz 5 in 1969. The service module failed to completely separate from the reentry vehicle and caused it to face the wrong way during the early portion of aerobraking. As with Soyuz 5, the service module eventually separated and the reentry vehicle completed a rough but survivable landing. Following the Russian news agency Interfax's report, this was widely reported as life-threatening while NASA urged caution pending an investigation of the vehicle. South Korean astronaut Yi So-Yeon was hospitalized after her return to South Korea due to injuries caused by the rough return voyage in the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft. The South Korean Science Ministry said that the astronaut had a minor injury to her neck muscles and had bruised her spinal column
I'd say SpaceX with 0 fatalities is looking pretty good by comparison.
SpaceX is not too far from manned launches.
I believe the most optimistic schedule has a manned launch sometime mid-2015. I'd guess early 2016 as the soonest we'll see a manned SpaceX launch.
Of course, if NASA had gone ahead with Orion and Jupiter-Direct, the US would have manned space flight capabilities by now.
It would be great to have an Orion capsule ready to launch on a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket. Unfortunately the rest of the Constellation program was so horribly over budget and behind schedule that it needed to be shut down.
Congress doesn't pass ideas, they pass laws. And we expect them to be faithfully executed.
Groovy
Then I'll give a quid about their plans for space travel.
I mean, if they haven't done a manned space flight to outside the atmosphere, it is far-fetched to be running before you can walk or even stand.
The end.
When Kennedy made his famous "We choose to go to the moon" speech, the USA had exactly 1 successful manned spaceflight - that being Alan Shepard's 15-minute suborbital hop. SpaceX has multiple successful launches, and are working on a manned version of their Dragon spacecraft.
What Musk is doing is pointing to a finish line that will take many years to accomplish. There will likely be setbacks along the way, but like Kennedy he's setting a grand vision -- hopefully I'll see that vision realized in my lifetime.
Why even post something like that? Is uninformed cynicism what passes for a constructive comment these days?
The location of the gigafactory has not yet been announced, but Musk said it would include lots of solar and wind to power it, leading many analysts to assume somewhere in the southwest U.S., such as New Mexico.....
It's completely irresponsible and foolish to speculate that the gigafactory will be built in New Mexico. The obvious location would be in Watts.
That's another Christian ideal from after they cooped the business of marriage but before they shoved their moral code down people's throats. Mormonism is Christianity with its own moral twists and turns.
I can't believe I'm replying to this, but here goes... Mormons, or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do not practice polygamy and have not done so for well over a century.
If you're looking for an example of a well-known religion that practices polygamy, you might want to use Islam as Muslim men are permitted to have up to four wives.
Yes, the Apollo 1 fire in January 1967.
Without that fire and the resulting redesigns and changes it is unlikely that Apollo would have been a success.
That joke was never funny.
