Came here to post this exact sentiment but found you had already covered it! I even have a kids ebook folder for my 4 and 6 year old. They are using tablets but still like to have me read them a story from my paperwhite for bedtime on occasion.

If a star achieves a high enough velocity, it may live longer than normal due to relativistic time dilation.

I can see companies using grapple lines to shoot over towards a dead satellite, to get a solid hold of it. Then it would draw it in close enough to grasp and take apart for its materials. The economics of it would require robots initially, but eventually I’m sure people will be in the ships gathering dead pieces…

We are also limited in that humans have just started to keep track of births and deaths consistently. My bus driver in high school had a living great-great-great-grandmother who was native american born in the 1800's with no birth certificate and was in her 120's at the time. They didn’t even bother trying to get her…

Gigabit routers with enough bandwidth to not cause games to stutter while using the internet. My wife and I have been gaming for years in a house with 8 TVs, 6 personal computers, 4 network servers and numerous wireless devices. We have multiple wireless access points and almost never have gaming problems even on…

I see people acting this way all the time and they can’t even see how racist and stupid it shows them to be. It is the exact same reason for Hillary losing the election, calling half of the people of the country morons and assuming you are better than others.

I like to think of it as having the chance to spread earth based ecosystems, throughout the galaxy. I would hope that we would mostly be terraforming lifeless planets, not destroying existing ecosystems, but I’m sure that will happen as well. In the end though, I want there to be a chance for additional civilizations…

My friends brother had it and we played Aliens more than all the other games he had for it combined. Still not worth getting for just that game though.

As a man with body hair .... no. I’ve had too many problems with hair getting caught in everyday things. I don’t need something that looks like it could grab a few hundred at a time to rip out.

Good. Plenty of potential places to expand too. Earth based life will dominate the universe after we break out of this system if we happen to be the first, we will not be the last.

Unless it was a portable 4k capable computer as well...

We will know once and for all how the brains are developing and interpreting input once we have brain implants. Artificial telepathy will allow us to start sharing visual information with our fetus as well as helping to calm it down during times of stress. Someday, our kids will be born knowing exactly who we are, and…

Pooetry.

Sometimes it can be amusing though. My first read through of Ender’s Shadow had me laughing so hard I woke people up when I came across this:

I know why.

I guess this means that Charon might have a moon of its own.

If you train them to use dollar coins, you could start the first inter-species organized theft ring.

It isn’t anybodies fault. Crosby just is incapable of keeping his footing on the ice and naturally curls into a balls to protect his face when unbalanced even slightly:

Well what are you going to do, force the people who don’t get it to watch the show? That is forcing them to assimilate in and of itself.
