I tried to do some research - it looks like NASA gets most of their hydrogen from nuclear plants - still (arguably) green. Depends where you stand on the whole nuclear fuel waste and radiation stuff.

As I understand it the rockets run on hydrogen and oxygen leaving nothing but a water trail.... although not cheap, doesn't sound too bad for the environment to me.

*Wrapping ... I do know how to spell it... I don't know why I typed that... do your fingers ever type words that your not even thinking...

Nope - if they find water it means they won't have to bring as much with them - freeze dried food is really light, and the cost to send stuff into space is by the pound. Sending water at 8lbs per gallon is very very expensive. If we can use water that is already there it solves a ton of engineering and financial

This was my first thought as well.... as a matter of fact I might just go make one.

History lesson:

It looks as though the throttle control is routed to the handle bars - perhaps the old brake cable. you can see the black line leading to the pump.

I think the dimming windows are awesome, but I wish they still had a shade - there is another giz article that shows the dimming feature, and it never completely blacks out the window.

"Tesla Coil towers will fill an area the size of a football field with lightning-like discharges hundreds of feet in length."

Too bad it can't carry passengers in "throughout the USA" - many states don't allow passenger to ride in a trailer, some do only with special restrictions.

Perhaps a larger screen that will still feel comfortable in your pocket, instead of bulging on a tangent to your leg?

Did you mean the long hull?

I could argue that this video is of target practice... and if that phone contained sensitive information like any other storage device, "destruction" of the device during target practice could be a reasonable "intended purpose."

And what, in your opinion, is it's intended purpose... because I can think of hundreds from starting a race and hunting, to target practice and destruction.

On Dealzmodo they just had a 72in. DLP 3D TV for $999...

I sometimes feel like we are getting ripped off - but our carriers still need to try and cover some sparsely populated areas so I understand their costs being transferred to the customers.

I remember an interview with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs - Jobs said something along the lines that his company didn't have to beat the competition, and one of his struggles when he came back to apple was convincing others at his company of this.

I went to college (UCONN) with Ken, I will try and explain in simplicity how they are created and grown.
