He may be a perfectly reasonable host, but as a follow-up act to the sheer brilliant madness of Craig Ferguson, he’s rubbish. I seriously have no idea why CBS felt the need to bring him over from across the pond.

Air launch is bunk. getting your hardware a few miles higher means next to nothing - you need to get the launch vehicle to mach 30 and a rocket is the only way to do it right now. The only upshot of a winged carrier craft as your first stage was the resusability, but with reusable rocket launchers, winged motherships…

Problem with your change to the refuel process - there’s just one tanker that has to make five trip to fuel a single colony ship. Even with Musk’s original hardware it’s better to send the tanker first, then the colony ship, but you still have to make four additional tanker trips before the ship is ready. I assume…

Hah! that sort of happened to me (as a spectator). I was in the military (IDF), and tasked with escorting one of our drivers as he took a jeep (an honest to god Vietnam-era M151 - we used to have some outdated equipment in the late 90's) to a nearby base, barely a 20 minute drive, to have its spare tire replaced.
So we…

Youtube is now supporting vertical videos but for some reason this video is letterboxed and is not shown correctly on a vertically-held phone.
As for desktop/laptops, it would not be too difficult to rearrange the page on portrait-oriented videos so the video takes the entire left side of the screen and the comments…

I’ll give you A+ for the concept but a D for execution - the brat moves relative to the sand around it.

In other words, we never got a vision of the future better than Knight Rider, so we find ourselves unprepared.

I liked the film for most of its run - it was classy, funny, and had a great initial car chase (which you see most of in the trailer) but the ending was just so-so. A spy film is only as good as its villain and the villainous duo in this one, a brother-sister act, had little going for them character-wise. The brother…

My opinions are different!!!! I am very angry!!!! I will not give reasons since the article itself didn’t bother to!

A car with only one seat named “egotist” is just the opposite of pompous. It’s self-deprecating, really.

And they all had their names legally changed to “Bro”.

Sorry guys but he’s right. The shuttle was supposed to be a reusable vehicle, this is how it was sold, but the reality was that:
-The fuel tank was expendable
-the solid boosters were recoverable but had to be refurbished
-the heat shielding had to be taken apart, examined and replaced on every flight
-the engines had to…

yes, how DARE you io9 to deliver *exactly* what it says in the headline? it's completely misleading!

It’s like they couldn’t decide on a grill so they ended up putting in two of them.

You do realize that District 9 is a metaphor for racial inequality, right? And that you've just asked if people were rooting against their own race?

Not everyone inserts themselves into the porn they watch. for some, it's just that they find the female body arousing but the male body, not so. Girl-on-girl porn has double the females and none of the males. that's all.

This concept vehicle has a traditional (dare I say primitive?) leaf spring suspension while the Humvee has independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension. They're completely different.

Are you calling Boeing's capsule a paper airplane? if anything they are further along in its development compared to SpaceX. They performed drop tests and interface/ergonomics evaluations and thruster tests and have built the pressure vessel and many other parts. NASA had to select them since both SN and SpaceX use…

Not YET Russia.
