We've got car-sized rovers on Mars roaming around, taking pictures, drilling in rocks, relaying data back through a satellite in orbit around another planet and nothing new was invented to accomplish that?
Idiot.
It seems it's no small feat for you to understand that pun.
We should celebrate with a small fete when it comes to him.
Who said it needs to be safe? Orbital bombardment. Ransom, etc. Then, all of a sudden, the world needs to get access to cheap materials in space for defense. Space economy established.
Nobel Prize please.
Amateur experimentation isn't limited to modulation experimentation. Usage experimentation is actually more common -combining different types of equipment, techniques, uses, etc.
No, but that sort of experimentation is open to many more amateurs when using open, non-proprietary technologies.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
