It's note quite that simple. The Falcon Heavy payload depends on how many of the first stage boosters are re-used. The 63.800 kg LEO number is if no boosters are re-used. If all three are re-used, the LEO payload drops below 50,000 kg. The New Glenn payload is with first stage re-use, so the two rockets have similar payload capacity when boosters are re-used.

Its not Tempest without the Oscar Vortex Spinner!!

This thing seems not better and much larger than the Hiller flying segway from 50 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_VZ-1_Pawnee

The problem is that the Triange is only one small area represented by a few state legislators...The vast majority of NC is still very rural and mired in the old south's Good Old Boy way of thinking. There are two very different North Carolina's...urban and rural. Just look at the split on the voting on the gay marriage issue. The Charlotte and Triangle regions heavily against the gay marriage ban, but most other counties were heavily for it.

Order it an you can choose 7 instead of 8

One thing I learn in school, you HAVE to get the units right. BTW, honk if you love slugs.

If this were true, F1 cars would be alot faster and more powerful (remember the turbo era of the 1980s?). F1 is about using the most advanced engineering and technology to meet the limitations of the "Formula". the "1" is just that its the formula that allows for the fastest cars, but its still limiting by its nature. The details of that formula is not important, so F1 could go electric. Having said that, the long history of F1, its connection with the evolution of IC engines and people not liking their sports screwed with, I suspect Formula E will separate.

A hexagon!? Clearly that has to be the work of intelligent beings. There must be some sort of alien presence on Saturn. The clouds probably hide the base they have used to observe for centuries. I hope the History channel's Ancient Aliens puts some of their first class investigative journalists and deductive scientists on this right away.

4 years ago I was in the ICU on dialysis. A liver transplant saved my life and I am now healthy and active again, but financially insolvent. I have more medical debt than I can every repay. The health care crisis is looming an I have a first person perspective. We have a major problem. Medicine and technology have progressed to the point where we can do incredible amazing things, but at staggering cost. Our current system of balancing the premiums payed by the healthy majority against the costs of infirmed minority is no longer viable. We face a moral dilemma, should we tell people that they could be helped but won't be because its too expensive? If not, how do we pay for it?

Some things never seem to work right until Service Pack 3.

Its funny...I've seen this paraphrased quote several times, but seldom see the real quote: "One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision"

Anyone else find irony in the fact that a journal named Current Biology publishes an article about 7000 year old DNA?

Unfortunately, the bile ducts are an important part of what the liver does, i.e. produce bile, which we need to digest fats. Furthermore, bile is used to remove bilirubin, a was product of the liver tearing down red blood cells. An excess of bilirubin is what makes people with liver problems turn yellow. This does seem like a great step forward in growing organs however. The liver is one of the most complex organs in the body.
