Maybe I was incorrectly assuming it was all US government agencies. I was working for a contractor at a US Geological Survey facility. I was always told that the US government does not allow foreign / Chinese branded servers and storage. I assumed that meant all agencies, especially since nothing at our facility or my project required secret clearance.

I could be wrong, but the article is talking about China banning government agencies from using US branded products. My understanding is that they are allowing private citizens and companies to use US branded products. After working at a US government facility I know that the US government does not allow its agencies from purchasing Chinese branded products (like Lenovo, for example). Even though they Dell/HP, etc. are built/assembled in China. This policy has been going on for a long time (pre-Trump). I guess I'm not surprised that China is now doing the same thing. Especially since there are Chinese companies offering the same or similar products.

I'm glad somebody from a government body is actually listening to the scientists.

Actually it is understood and well documented. Humans are causing climate change.

Speaking of delusional... I think it is funny that people like you continue to deny facts, even when the proof is indisputable. But it is a free country, so you can believe or deny whatever you want.

This is a horrible move. Just because you can't notice a different, personally, does not mean the overall climate in the world hasn't changed since then. I personally haven't noticed a difference from my childhood either (my "sniff test"). The problem is that climate change is so gradual, that people don't notice, it makes it tough for scientists to explain, because we live in a culture of instant gratification and instant change, etc.

However, climate change is happening. It is causing global warming (they are 2 different things). It is well documented and researched and is considered to be a fact. But, this is a free country and you are free to deny it all you want. That doesn't mean it isn't real and isn't a fact.

Even though there is a current shift in NASA funding, they still do a lot to measure the earth, and the atmosphere, and will continue to do so. NASA has their fingers in a number of projects and they cooperate with various agencies, like USGS and NOAA. They are not just rockets, etc.

I'm not sure where you get your news... but, the Russia thing is not bullshit. Russia did hack the US and spread FUD on social media to try and influence the election. These are known facts. The Mueller investigation is still going on, so we don't know for sure if there was any collusion or not.

Trump is mentioned by people on here, not because people are "butthurt", but because his administration pulled the plug on a vital program. It is an idiotic move. Especially given that the common argument of Climate change deniers is that "We don't know if climate change is man made. We don't have enough evidence." So...lets stop collecting more evidence and more science. If you don't have enough evidence, wouldn't you want to ramp up and collect more evidence and study it more? Besides the fact that there are many hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed documents which come to the same conclusion. i.e. Man made climate change is real and is a fact.

I was taught to type 1 space after a comma and 2 spaces after a period. For many years, I assumed typing was still taught that way. About 2 years ago I realized that younger people are typically taught to only use 1 space after a period. I had assumed 2 spaces was a golden rule, forever. I guess I was wrong.

Ultimately, with variable width fonts and HTML, etc., it really doesn't matter anymore. However I will likely use 2 spaces until I die. A 30 year typing habit is hard to kill.

Another sad day for the USA. From a sad administration...

Just because it is a real issue, doesn't mean we need to revert to stone-age technology. We should be innovating and getting off of fossil fuels as soon as possible. Very few people are traveling the world in private planes to "push it", but they are the ones who make the news. i.e. just because some people don't practice what they preach, doesn't mean the issue isn't real and that it isn't a large concern for our society. P.S. I do more than the "minimum things" :-)

You are free to believe whatever you want. However, we all need to worry about global warming. It is really happening and is really man-man. The science is correct. I tend to believe the scientists who have studied this for many years, over conservative politicians and talk show hosts.

The following is from http://www.spacex.com/falcon-h...

"Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit"

I've never seen propaganda which states that the Falcon Heavy is the most powerful rocket ever flown. But I have seen propaganda that it is the most powerful operational rocket (i.e. currently being used). SpaceX even states "Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit"

"fuck off you fucken fuck"

Spoken like a true, brainwashed, Trump follower
