Prior to 1970. So as to keep everyone ignorant of all cultural advances made hence? That was my main problem with my education. We were basically thought about nothing of merit from the last century with Lem being the one exception.Just the old crap, not even the good ones. Kafka? Noes. Lee? No. Asimov? No. Well,…

If it does contain this summary word-by-word wouldn't that actually prohibit teaching anything but the most accepted, best proven theories?

Yes because adding antibiotics is such a great idea. I'm sure the problem could be solved with other methods. Such as introducing other microbes which would choke the gas producing bacteria or adding something to break down the foam and let the gas escape at a nice steady rate. Activated charcoal or vegetable oils or…

Now that would have some stopping power.

But it is for science. And every one will be more happy and understanding if you treat them to beer and peanuts too.Except your wallet.

Its not about weight. It's about precision. And launch stress. It will be subjected to several G-s during launch and insertion and it will have to stay utterly precise after being subjected to such stress. Also there are space specific issues such as vacuum welding, and the temperature differences caused by sunshine…

Astromech as for astromechanical engineer. Or Rocketsmith. Satwright for those who build space stations and satellites( or Statwright from geostationary).

The pool of liquid seems quite solid, an incredibly dense substance, like if it was liquid marble or glass. Don't know if this is intended, but it does add something to the picture.A sort of vague feeling of mystery.

Soured vegetables, soup(often also containing the former)/fruit juice and an aspirin is the traditional cure in Central Europe and it works well. I had a few hangovers but never one of those apocalyptic ones some people describe.

Well this is truly worthy of the tag. I mean holy shit,his thing is enormous.

Since Susan Calvin has already been mentioned by Corpore Metal, I choose to nominate (Though they are strictly speaking engineers) the exquisite Trurl and Klapaucius.

Yes. May a Thousand stars of recommendation shine upon you.

IIRC They sing the most in mating season so I guess It is a mating display of sorts by collecting sounds they are flaunting their memory and general perceptiveness and situational awareness.

It's colorful enough I can attest that. I had to run a mere 100-120m with an 80 kg person on my back a few times. Not the most pleasant experience. (I'm c. 66 kg)

That is just plain evil.

With these people they might just pull it off. Let's hope.

I've noticed this once on myself. Since then I always double check my answers for biases whenever I take a survey. The problem is such statistics are so easy to make biased, both intentionally or by clerical error that creating or using such data takes extreme care.

I played one of these in Krakow. It had a cool horror theme with people coming towards the participant's with axes, creepy moving furniture, knife sharpening sounds. It was quite fun, even though I'm generally not at all excited for horror. It still wasn't really scary,this sort of monster/maniac horror can't really…

Officer on bridge, reporting ford duty!

That being said different kinds of alcohols are different. Off course they don't make you fight or be a total asshole, but chemical factors such as mixer and congeners (Which might also affect ethanol absorption and metabolism.)and psychosomatic ones(I guess mainly those), such as taste, smell, colour and associated…
