you're right - its a semantical argument. In general conversation my experience with people is that "all-time" is interpreted as "something like this has never happened before. ever." and not as "this may have happened before, just not since we started writing stuff down".

in the context of the article i interpret science to mean breakthroughs in human understanding. the spacex accomplishments are not fundamentally new concepts in human understanding, rather a different application and use of previously understood launch methods. the chemical rocket is not new. i do agree it is…

"all-time" means ever - at any point in history. Since we've only been recording these things for a couple of hundred years as opposed to the billions of years the earth has been around, it is a bit presumptuous...

SpaceX's launch and contract are more milestones in engineering and contract negotiation than science, wouldn't you say?

That's actually what Koryo Group does - tours. They commissioned this DPRK company to build the game for them as a marketing gimmick.

To be clear, Koryo Group is a tour agency that brings westerners into North Korea as tourists. They commissioned a North Korean firm to develop the game.

Moisturize me!

True fact, bro. Just realized for the rest of the season I'll have to slow down the episodes to 33rpm from 78 to understand what either of them are saying.

Reminds me of the style used in 1994's Orbital video for "The Box". Loved that video and love this short film!

If Pacific Rim is successful it does extend hope that a live-action Macross will eventually get made.

I could watch Jenna-Louise Coleman read the phone book... A firecracker, that one.

This all could have been avoided if they'd thrown the red bucket instead of blue.

Mickey! Also, someone threw the red bucket instead of blue :(

I believe "Negro" is the preferred nomenclature. "Coloured" is also acceptable.

Mickey!
