They aren’t that rare. There are 14 this decade (excluding partials). They are only rare if you won’t leave your country. If you have some important science to do, you should be prepared to travel.

It can be exchanged for real money.

They’ve not been banging their heads. They pretty much nailed it a couple of years ago and now it is basically routine. And that’s not the reason they do it. They land on the barge because by time the first stage has separated from the second stage, it doesn’t have enough propellant to get back to the launch site.…

Do they have the rights to Molly now?

Not really. I mean they use the same name, but the cryptocurrency in the book needed to be backed by gold, and it was centralised. (Much of the plot is about where the gold comes from, and where the central base should be.) The real thing is not backed by anything, and it is decentralised and trust-free.

Learn first aid. Say the gloves are for medical use. Seriously, if you think you might need to give first aid to a stranger, you should wear gloves because you don’t want to get blood on or in you when you don’t know if they have AIDS or whatever.

Don’t you think that some of those technology contributions might just have been made by other people instead? The idea that there is a kind of maths that only one person could do is simple wrong.

I didn’t like season 2. It became too mystical. All about red forests and killing time and special magic people. I preferred season 1 because it didn’t have that stuff, and season 3 where it got pushed to the back.

I’m another who didn’t like the book. I think the film has the potential to be better. Part of the book’s problem was its writing style, which the film necessarily loses. If it is willing to deviate from the book, and treats its nostalgia visually rather than with wordy exposition, then it could work.

I’m not a fan of the book, but this trailer looks better than the book to me.

This article is part of why I, a man, sometimes browse Jesebel. I had read these books as a teenager, drawn partly by the covers and the sex. However, I quickly found those parts boring and forgettable. For me the core idea of the first book was that Neanderthals had perfect genetic memory and thus vast stores of…

How does this differ from commissioning the Steele report into Trump? Steele worked for MI6. It is as wrong for the British to influence US elections as it would be for Russia.

So you think regenerations are random? It’s just chance that the first 12 bodies were male, and chance the 13th was female? Do you understand how unlikely that is statistically? The show has strongly suggested that regenerations are not random. So there should be a reason for the gender switch. It would be curious if…

She was also in Black Mirror - The Entire History of You.

Just to pick up on a couple of points:

We didn’t see Simm regenerate so we don’t know if he regenerated into Missy. If not, there could be any number of incarnations of the Master left in the gap.

The BBC showed a clip of Simm in a preview of the episode at the end of the previous episode. They revealed, not just that he was coming back, but episode in which it happened.

SpaceX doesn’t have the resources to fast-track ITS. They need to focus on getting Dragon man-rated so they can take crew to the space station, and on Falcon Heavy, which still has never flown, and on getting Block 5 flying and reused.

Stockwell has said refurbishing costs “substantially less than half” the cost of a new booster. How much of that saving is passed onto customers is unknown, but currently is thought not to be much, perhaps 5-10%, so SpaceX can earn back the money reuse cost to develop.

Surely not. Surely he failed to kill because when he got there, he found there were no children needing rescue, at which point he stood down.
