"...sounded muddled and tinny. Probably because Bluetooth just isn't that great for beaming around audio."

so only organizations that have never been hacked can report on this? that's like saying assault victims shouldn't be allowed to speak out against violence

I bet you guys think Whopper Jr. is perfectly sized too

800x480 on a 4.7" display? I'd rather have higher pixel density than Beats audio

30.5M units and they don't get a volume discount?

i think it's just the strap that's sony... pretty sure the camera and lenses are your typical nikon or canon

It doesn't have to be a 747 carrying a space shuttle. I realize there are real challenges but if NASA throws some money into the concept of a high altitude space launch it could be a viable alternative to expensive rocket launches

I didn't know NASA already tried it. Did it not work?

I'm not sure either but the Virgin flights will be high enough for passengers to float around so I'd think it's a lot less than what SpaceX is using

I'm not saying there still aren't challenges but it seems like something that should be pursued

I always wondered why NASA couldn't do it the way Virgin Galactic does it. We already have the tech to strap a space shuttle onto a 747. Would it be so much of a stretch to carry a space craft with a conventional winged aircraft to its max altitude and then have the space craft separate and continue on its ascent? …

I was joking. It's just fun to pick on Jersey. Kinda like how the rest of the US picks on Canada

I didn't know all that. I admit, I don't know a whole lot about NASA, I'm just going by the headlines I've read on how Bush wouldn't extend the shuttle program, and Obama wanted to kill Constellation and it makes me doubt the future of our space program. NASA's total budget since its inception is around $800B and…

I'm not sure but fire burns up so I'm guessing whatever sprays down won't be ignited by the fireball

The ice remark was a joke... I was thinking of an episode of Futurama.

These are heat seeking missiles so hopefully the NYPD at least points them up when firing

NYPD procedure states that these missiles are only to be used if enemy aircraft are approaching Manhattan from the west

You've been watching too many action movies. Unless we're talking about drones, aircraft that are shot down seldom break up into hundreds of small pieces that only do moderate damage to buildings

America was discovered because land routes to India were too costly. Considering it costs $10,000/lbs to send something into orbit, we'll have to seriously deplete our resources down here or develop some crazy sci fi tech before we start mining Halley's Comet for ice

Let's do what America does best: continue downsizing NASA and outsource our space program to China. Or better yet, let's start Cold War II because we can't play nice w/ other countries unless we're the sole super power
