And asks for a drink of water. Google gives him a 5-course meal instantly, is utterly surprised that he doesn't really want that meal, just a glass of water, and is FLABBERGASTED that the man doesn't want to pay for a 5-course meal. Cuz the cost of meal is what they charged the advertisers whose logoes they stuck on every piece of dinnerware in the meal. May be time for that man to look elsewhere for his cup of water. Good grief.

In the article, for pete's sake, the "expert to be quoted today", "Brian Weedon, a technical adviser to the Secure World Foundation and former orbital analyst with the USAF, " , actually IN THE FSCKING ARTICLE says, ""The X-37B is in a much lower inclination which means it can only see a very narrow band of latitudes, and the only thing that's of real interest in that band is the Middle East and Afghanistan.

"Is it spying on Tiangong-1? I really don't think so. [Emphasis mine.] I think the fact that their orbits intersect every now and again - that's just a co-incidence. If the US really wanted to observe Tiangong, it has enough assets to do that without using X-37B," he added. "

Jeez, would it hurt the submitter too much to actually read to the END OF THE FREAKING ARTICLE? Headline-hunting much?

Actually, "Just get us self-driving cars already so that this and a number of related problems go away." is the REAL answer. The truth is that humans should not be driving cars or anything, if at all possible. We such at it. We kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. We NEED automatic cars, PLEASE. Thank you.

If I could, I would turn it all off. (Being a developer, it's a bit hard.) I got sent overseas 30 years ago for a year. (Pre-Internet! lol) We usually got all non-ridiculous news in 3 - 4 days. So, I kicked my news habit. (There was no English TV either, so I also quite accidentally kicked my TV habit.) So, really, how much does this "news" really affect your life? No much, really. Have a nice day. Cheers!
