Comment Re:Asteroid mining? (Score 1) 157

Nonsense, we've done it before, and at this size it would actually be more like the Gemini 6 and 7 mission. Are we sure this isn't an Apollo 2nd stage booster? We've been fooled by that once before. Too bad we aren't ready for this, it could be a nice place to put a radio telescope for -really- long baseline interferometry. What class asteroid is it? If nickel iron, eventually we could heat it up and blow it up into a small habitat. If icy or chondritic, it wouldn't take very much delta- (relatively speaking) to land it on the moon.

Comment Lighting should be on the ground, not the sky! (Score 1) 315

Look, this is about using reflectors to *increase* illumination on the *ground* where it is desired, instead of wasting it causing skyglow which can be seen for 100 miles. And have more streetlights, closer to the ground, with reflectors, and you will have greater safety, greater night vision for drivers, cutting down on hitting pedestrians, and allowing people to see the sky. Those of you still afraid, go buy a sidearm for crying out loud.

Comment Gov't content regulation wouldn't end well. (Score 1) 111

I do not think that in the present climate of competing belief systems, that there is a way to regulate content that would not end up infringing on political, religious, or scientific speech. Therefore, content regulation has to be done by the individual, and the individual sets of parents.
