How much cheaper do you imagine this large scale asteroid harvesting is? What would 500BN of asteroid infrastructure get us as a counter question? How exactly are we utilizing your harvested material? What and where are we building with it? We'd certainly have 10 years of data with trained...

I'm all in for resource collection - that's a necessary technology without a doubt, but my perception of Tuco's argument is that we shouldn't do anything that isn't 100% sustainable before we do it. We need to get the clock ticking on how much living beyond Earth fucks up the human body.

I don't understand your resistance to a research base on Mars Tuco, regardless of how self sufficient it is at the start or not. We didn't chose the solar system we inhabit. We only really have one in system candidate to chose from as a practical first step to engage in this. If its...

The first people going to Mars are going to be much more like Lewis and Clark or Edmund Hillary. We should expect people to die, in gruesomely new was as no humans have died before. A colony - much like the ISS is a test bed for technologies that allow scaling up of operations for our whole...

Its a pretty cool experience to grow plants. Flowers are pretty rewarding. Here is my house plant, a tropical hibiscus that can't survive outside here. In the winter it tends to grow some forks and a bit of length 1-2 inches in various branches but does not bloom during these months due...

A well edited video of the Falcon 9's lifespan.

Its not absurd - its a 1 time educate yourself thing. All of your custom configs can be saved locally and imported into other games. From there you can do minor things like adjust sensitivity. Specifically the rotational angle of horizontal is a person specific setting that you only need...

I think most of it has to do with speed, (but clearly also trajectory), the higher the orbit, the tinier the recovery area possible because as that video shows - you really are just trying to go sideways really fucking fast to stay in orbit. That's 99% of the task almost, getting to altitude...

You really need to do more than just pick a config, If I was buying dark souls 3 at launch I could publish one. The issue is - you still need to go make sure the rotational settings, and zones of the face of the haptic and the sensitivity fit your individual handsize. If people really...

This is likely because Mad Max had poor simultaneous inputs. DS2 has no such problems, I imagine 3 will not either. Enjoy the flickable camera - its way better than joystick and ultra precise. All you PC guys need to get a steam controller and put in some time. It is 100% superior...

I found this to be extremely awesome. The Spacex Cast is transposed over this visualization of the velocity and trajectory of the launch. It shows the altitude/velocity of the vehicle(s) - it shows when their engines are lit. The trajectory is exactly what you might expect, but its so...

So this is just a synced view of the landing - check out the attitude adjustments of those control surfaces full of holes as it comes down.

This is the full Webcast, 27:03 is more or less the landing start. For the nerd roars.

That is where you would be wrong, their game will take simultaneous inputs for both mouse and analog. Mouse Haptic camera is way more precise than analog. I know everyone resists the steam controller, but its a very very good piece of hardware. You can flick your camera like its a FPS...

Its probably an experiment to see what happens, there isn't much more than their statement. They might be deciding to remake AP to be some form of Ban + Pick. They might want to see the pick trends without AP in the mess of it.

Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bulba single handedly willed liquid to that TI3 win over LGD. He's underrated, the least of which is his temperament. Same with Aui - neither of them are emotional firecrackers. Surrounding Sumail with emotionally stable adults prevents the kind of meltdown that an Arteezy Sumail...

Not yet peer reviewed, but I found this compelling. New KBO which appears to orbit where planet 9 says it should orbit. Mike Brown on Twitter:

You've also got to assume that between now and the time we can mine an asteroid a host of other technologies will be expanding as well. We could have Magnetic/Tractor Beam type things, as well as learning to build in space. Outside of the most precious metals, we probably won't be sending...

I think you're right in this respect Tuco, asteroid mining will be the catalyst than enables human expansion, but I disagree with your comment that it enables human exploration. Asteroids and their value come from the infrastructure you can build with it, repair with it. And harvest large...

Until player compensation isn't dominated by prize winnings this will continue to happen. Roster lock just guarantee's it happens just a few times a year or whatever. Without a players union, or compensation that isn't so top heavy the players can't be faulted for trying to constantly make...

I just wish monster hunter could be played on PC with friends like on the DS. Its such a shame that game is only on the handheld. Its incredible.

So I watched, it was pretty shit coverage. SpaceX really puts this cast to shame.

If your internet stays on give us a photo blog.

I played in the last beta weekend, and I can see the draw of the game. I love my Quake and I love my Dota, but for me personally I'm not sure the combination provides me something I'll keep coming back to as a player. I can see why a lot of people might like it, but I only see myself...

If you find the entire notion of the beacon to be broken, then just don't use it. Its a single player game. I saw people say it was broken, so I haven't even thrown one. If it ruins the game for you don't use it, if you like the op-ness of it and feel like a boss when you fool the AI...

Precisely where it will hit to the meter is not necessary to know, the math will still provide a region and a best/worst case for debris field as impact approached. One other thing to consider in regards to intercepting such a body is that not every direction and location from Earth is...

Refresher SVEN, what an entertaining game.

So SpaceX had a zero second abort on Sunday due to a boater in the danger zone. I thought this gif was pretty awesome to see their abort system in action. The rocket even begins to fire. Apparently the gif was too big. http://i.imgur.com/Mz46zRW.gif

Here's a link to the steam store page. Master of Orion on Steam

More good adjustments to ranked. Season 2 Update - Rocket League So you have a sense of progress despite no numbers.

If you are in the market for a controller, I believe the steam controller is a very legit PC option for Souls 3. Here are the benefits of the steam controller after my playthrough of Souls 2(Scholar Edition). I played it at launch with my 360 Pad at the time. Dark Souls 2 and I'm assuming 3...

Yeah the PBS link allows full quality full screen streaming. I was uncertain if international users get to stream from PBS. The youtube link is ass - I just wanted to give people a taste without hitting the PBS website first. It certainly clips the borders hard and isn't everything. Link...

Well I just completed my Commander/Ironman first time play through. It was a sweet experience. The final mission definitely left me with a memory. For those who want to avoid details of the final mission, I'm just gonna put my story in a spoiler. TLDR; not the most well written thing...

Play ranked and there is no leaving, its a 15 minute queue freeze for any kind of DC. Aside from that you'll get a sense where you are in the spectrum of the game. I think you'll find out you're a long way from the skill cap, its huge.

So this documentary is difficult for me to chose a category. I love astronomy so I'll make the post here. I found it well worth my two hours, the visualization of the data is remarkably well done. PBS Spacetime is so boss, PBS I feel has earned more shilling from me on this one...

Rocket league is hardly mindless, and very few games approach its speed at top tier play. Have you explored ranked? If you play on PC I'm happy to play some games, I'm not a pro, but you will be exposed to a faster tier of play (unless you are ranked higher than I would expect for just 5...
