While it's entirely possible that Nazi Germany could have replicated the Fermi Pile experiment, that in no way leads to the massive industrial effort needed to produce fissile material of sufficient purity in sufficient quantity to build a bomb.

In the late 1970's the DOE developed a fusion roadmap detailing timelines and budgets. A Manhattan project style crash project that would have led to a viable reactor in the late 1980's, a more modest program leading to a reactor in the late 1990's and a minimal program that would lead to a reactor around 2010. Each had a proposed funding profile. There was also a line called "fusion never" at which funding was insufficient to achieve the needed critical mass of effort to achieve a viable reactor. Guess what option was ultimately chosen? It's a miracle we've made as much progress as we have. The more accurate statement is not that fusion is 30 years away, is that fusion is about $30 billion away

Yes, because I remember when NASA built two different Lunar Landers, two Saturn V class vehicles, two Space Shuttle designs, two Space Stations. While some recent commercial awards do have competitive elements (like commercial cargo and commercial crew), to claim that NASA never awards contracts to a single winner is disingenuous

Yes, some are better with money. Are they 10 times better? A hundred? A thousand? Thatâ(TM)s the current issue.

Talking with my oncologist friend, he mentioned the big game changer with these types of vaccines is that they can load up hundreds (and potentially thousands) of protein sequences into them. So while for the first few years they may be more bespoke, longer term they may be able to produce 10-20 vaccines that will be able to cover a broad range of cancers and for most folks, theyâ(TM)ll be able to sequence your cancer and determine that you need vaccine 7.

A data center is not a fab

You also donâ(TM)t need to hold your belly button with Pfizer to get signal.

Cancer, itâ(TM)s always cancer

And yet you're positing that some "lone wolf" will be taking out these turbines RPGs or Dr. Evil with his submarine will be holding them hostage for $100 Billion dollars. Europe has many of these installations, and this isn't exactly an issue for them

Yes, which is why the US has so few smokers, drug addicts, and obese citizens. All those other developed nations with universal healthcare are just awash with smoker and drug addicts

Dragon has a toilet and is designed to fly up to 7. With 4, it's surprisingly spacious

More than that, itâ(TM)s the one guy from Earth that also happens to become the best Navi ever, he can master all their skills in days and tame the wildest beasts without effort. Just like Costner in Dances with wolves or Cruise in Last Samurai. Itâ(TM)s insultingly paternalistic

Very roughly. I donâ(TM)t recall dragons, elves or magic in any of Gibsonâ(TM)s work

Not unless your last name is Eastwood

Glad to hear that mob bosses are free in clear in your world, after all, they didnâ(TM)t tell their underling to murder someone, they just said âoetake care of himâ. Oh and after said murder was comitted, said he âoelovedâ the perpetrator.
