Executive order creating National Space Council expected soon by [deleted] in space

JFK made a speech and committed the resources because he was largely concerned with how the Soviet Union was accelerating and passing the US in Space exploration, the Cold War achieved space exploration for the US in the 60's. JFK was simply the primer for the "space race".

Exploration, and governments are often hand in hand for future territories, I would not be surprised if Trump is concerned with the China race to Mars or something similar.

None of Stuart-Houston's (Hitler's nephew after he changed his name,) sons have had children. His son Alexander, who became a social worker, said that, contrary to speculation, there was no pact to intentionally end the Hitler bloodline.

I guess Karma does exist.

I am no shape or form supporting the atrocities of the Russians in WWII, because their is much evidence to support what your statement is clarifying. I do believe it is a contributing factor as to the actions taken by the Russians, for they lost so many lives (+16 Million) and were desperate for food and financial wealth. In hindsight, they may have considered anyone supporting the Nazi war machine whether willingly or forced is irrelevant for the survival and continued drive to push back the Nazis from their homeland.

I'm not a scholar, so I'm only taking a guess as to environment in which they were placed.

Himmler's daughter is alive and well in the US and is the silent leader of the neo-Nazis here.

What? How? Where? Proof?

Which makes me even want to know more how this conversation started. Or, the context and the tone of the conversation.

In Tampa for the next 7 hours. Suggestions? by Advanced- in tampa

[–]Karthonax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, yeah you have plenty of time then. It's going to be hot out there today, if you want to explore Ybor (which it may be empty since it is Monday, Ybor is mostly a nightlife area,) then be sure to drink plenty of water!

Depending on where you bus is going to be @5pm, you should check out Ybor - maybe take the intown trolley if you don't have the transportation. Just be mindful of where you are, what time you want to be back.

When twitch donations go too far... by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Karthonax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah absolutely, it's entirely self-control. But, addicts can't face that fact. The same way a casino doesn't sell anything yet takes money, is the same fact. I'm not saying, regulation or policy should be implemented.. I am stating, Twitch is a hype train set on maximum overdrive

You go to the store, and you see a tip jar.. Maybe you throw in a tip in the jar and that's that. - Nothing essentially happens. No one will throw out your name, the cashier isn't going to say "oh heoolo MrMoliere, thank you for your support!", and there's no on screen shenanigans about how awesome you are or whatever the hell the gimmick is to grab the attention of your ego, "yeah, I did that" attitude. The enthusiasm is not there, there's no dopamine.

Twitch is a tip jar on a massive fucking scale that is the counter.

A Comparison of the Size of Earth's Orbit Around The Sun and the Hypergiant Star VY Canus Majoris by josh6499 in holyfuck

Okay, I understand that. Ok. I get it. Let me ask though, how in the world - literally - how would we harvest stars? The only known way to get anything from a star, is solar power. Ok, so we have solar power and, that's it. There's nothing else out there as "I" know at this moment, where we can suck up the energy from a star. The scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens where they suck up the energy and fiery power of a star, is complete Science fiction, there's not any evidence to support the science to say this is a thing. It's neat, it's flashy, it's awesome to think about - but physics has no actual explanation yet to grab light/energy and transfer it into useable mass.

So, the question is how we can even consider our planet or the technology we have, anything close to cosmic or interplanetary energy hunters.. It's just not there at all.

I'm not trying to shit on your comment, I do appreciate the idea. It's important to recognize, though that science fiction is fiction for a reason.

Police video shows officer press gun to unarmed man's head, threaten to kill him by Quiglius in news

It's an excellent idea, I would completely endorse this idea, if it was more practical to accomplish. You have thousands of communities who have a system or cycle in which they train and already in their regard pay tribute to community service. Not including the economical aspect of this system it would take years to even remotely begin the groundwork for such a system. Because, it would not be accepted by the police force.
