It makes sense. Rockets are heavy, that's why they are expensive. Having helium 3 will make the rockets lighter (since helium is lighter than air) allowing the rockets to float to the moon at a much cheaper price point than with solid fuel.

If NASA had thought of this, they could have gone to the moon much more cheaply. Typical government waste.

Comment Ordered from Aliexpress, marked up for the US (Score 1) 41

Pretty much everything not big-name-brand that's on Walmart or Amazon is marked up 25% or more from the Aliexpress price for exactly the same product. If you're willing to wait for it to come from China, you can get the same crap for less. I've just placed an order for an item that's $200 on Amazon and was $150. I expect it to take maybe an extra week.

Calc will generate pivot tables, but not with a live WYSIWYG interface where you can tweak it as you go. It creates a new tab in your sheet after you fill in a dialog which is static, so if you want a current one or want it to be slightly different, you have to create it all over again.

I hear that these days it handles very large files OK, so IMO this is the last major feature needed before it can really be taken seriously as an Excel replacement.
