This is the best-written article on this subject I have ever read. It shows great knowledge of both universes, sticks to canon and doesn't degrade into any fanboyish wishful thinking.

Reading is fundamental... the author is comparing Star Trek's photon torpedoes to Star Wars' proton torpedoes.

Except that is never the way it works out. These jackasses aren't altruists. They're just dicks making excuses, pointing the finger at their victims and blaming them. It won't foment change, it won't hurt Sony or Microsoft. It only hurts US.

Yeah, you SAY that... everybody SAYS that. But no one ever really DOES that. They'll seem blow a lot of money—compared to us, but in the context of their wealth its like one of us peons dropping a nickel in the Salvation Army can. When you're a billionaire you earn millions in a day just in interest.

The thing is, it will only increase in value. When he gets tired of it, he can probably sell it for double what he paid. LA is crazy like that. 1,000sq ft homes build in the 1920s for $2,500 selling for $1 million... and they are DUMPS. Most of them haven't been renovated since the 1960s. Yet people are scarfing them…

Um, its 23,000sq feet. A gigantic mansion with more space than any family would ever need is EXACTLY what this is.

That's not a walk-through... its a drone-through.

All these vacuums suck.

All these vacuums suck.

My mind is blown by your cowardly mentality. Give up your freedom for false security. In fact, just lock yourself in a bunker in Montana... surely nothing can happen to you there, right?

You're confusing a glamorized blog for real journalism.

Branson is a modern day rich, clueless daredevil. Except he's unwilling to be the one to take the risk.

Hence their non-apology referencing a supposed "moral offense" while completely ignoring the actual environmental damage they caused.

Why don't you tell that to Greenpeace. They're just a bunch of human-hating vandals like PETA and other enviro-extremists. They do WAY more harm than good (as in virtually NO good) and paint everyone in the world with the same broad brush. They HURT people, HURT the environment they supposedly stand for and HURT their…

Yes it was the Delta V... the Saturn V is still safe until the SLS Heavy is built... if ever.

Nailed it... and while I'm not a Brit, I am 95% English heritage. and I still found this article the same as you. ;)

Same for me.

So you're blaming the victim? Classy.

It was that way for me in Texas as well. Vaccinate or stay home.

hideous!
