Sure. Everyone should learn Latin in school. Greek first though. You don't properly apprciate Latin if you don't already have Greek. Then a few modern languages, at least one Romance to follow the Latin plus a Germanic and some form of Chinese. Better throw in Japanese and something with click consonants too. Practical math absolutely, and shop and don't forget home ec. Advanced math too... none of this "choosing" to take calculus. Science classes should cover physics, biology and chemistry for everyone, to an advanced level. Some economics, sociology and anthropology too, and definitely comprehensive history. Every child should graduate knowing how to fix a toilet, maintain their brakes and perform competent Japanese joinery.

Comment LMAO Disney crawled (Score 1) 12

There was no new agreement, Disney flexed and lost. They figured YouTube customers would loudly complain then switch to the new Disney platform. What happened was life just went on with out Disney and they watched their "profit" dry up. YouTube is carrying Disneys' lineup at the same pricepoint they did last year.

I need a 300 mile range and a 4 hour turn around. I want to take the wife out to a movie in the evening after a long commute.

McDonnel Douglas landed a rocket more than 20 years before SpaceX did. ATK, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing and Lockheed have all been involved in recovering boosters using parachutes.

The point of booster recovery is to make them cheaper. SpaceX and Blue Origin are the second wave of manufacturers, focused on cost.
