/sci/ - Science & Math

Join the Military and enlist as a network tech.

Serve 6 or so years and certainly plan to get your CCIE certification.

Military service, (Due to the guilt that boomers have in them, due to how they mistreated their own generation who served in Nam),experience,and certifications ,blows your typical CS degree out of the water..

Why do they need to visit us in person?

Why not send a drone or two inorder to monitor us?

For all we know, the world powers could be characters on a popular TV show. "Those stupid humanoids"

Everyone is trying to come up with an replacement for their space craft.
Why not come up with a standardized model,and have everyone buy one?

Right now, we're at a stage where space craft are manufactured in a way that's similar to how automobiles were, before Ford came along and mass produced them.

Also, every major power has tight budget except for china. So it would make sense to buy 10 of the same space craft, than to design your own space craft,and build three or four.

ten for the US, ten for Britain,Ten for France,ten for Russia,ten for China,and ten for India,and a few to go around the major weapon's corporations and air liners

Is it too outlandish to suggest the idea of mass producing reusable space craft such as the SKYLON , so instead of 5 space shuttles, we would have 50 or more?

We have thousands of 747s manufactured,and that's just one model of a jumble jet,from one company.

Mass producing the Skylon would be nice as it would increase the demand for hydrogen,making it cheaper in the long run,for things such as cars.

If you were to mass produce the space craft,other nations such as Russia can purchase and maintain their own fleet. It would also be cheaper to buy mass produced craft,instead of R& Ding,and then building a handful of space craft.

With a fleet of space craft you can standardized parts,making it cheaper for part replacements.

With a large fleet of space craft, you can have an assembly line of craft being prepared for launch.

If only you could escape so that you would only be in there for a century,and when you get out you would of time traveled..

If they could semi-mass a fleet of them, it could be a decent stop gate program before we move on to something on the lines of a space elevator.

I think we should continue for now to use a one-use launch system such as a rocket for humans.
A reusable system such as the shuttle just increases the chances some humans will die.

We need to ateast have ten built,so at the minimum we would have a skylon unit on the launch pad getting ready to launch cargo into space, every other week.

over 1400 747's were built. Is it too outlandish to have a goal of 100 skylon units being built,for many nations to operate?

Each launch of the skylon would also increase the demand for hydrogen,which would help make hydrogen cheaper for the general public.

who are you talking about?

A IT certification that would last your entire life would be a joke.
Look at how fast technology advances.

Surely it would not be any different with STEM education.

Why shouldn't people with STEM degrees get re certified every few years,like those in the IT world?

Why not start Terraforming mars right now?

If look back at the year 2013 from the year 2113, we will wish we had a century of progress of doing it.

If we start now, by the year 2213, humans might beable to walk on mars without needing a suit.

But the Space shuttle,and the Braun was designed to land without humans if needed in the 80s.

>>5889678
This drone can do so.

>>5890332
but if you awoke 500 years later after your death, you'll pretty much want to have a clean slate.

I mean in 500 years from now, elementary children might be learning what we would considered to be advanced trig.

A clean slate would mean you could take in things faster, than how you would if you had retained your memories.

Would it really matter if you forgot information on today's celebrities?

Why not build the space elevator for moving large amount of equipment to and from space.

Then develop some complicated space craft that never enter's a planet's atmosphere?

If we could eliminate the need enter the Atmosphere with an complicated machine such as the space shuttle, the risks to humans would be mostly eliminated.

Or atleast do it with drones,so if the craft blows up over the Atlantic, it would not be that big of a deal.

>amnesia

Does it really matter to remember people who where close to you, who are now all dead?

It has been 3 years since I graduated HS.

Are there any decent guides on what I need to study ,when it comes to retaking the SAT tests?

I think it's possible.

Clone your self,cut the head off,sew your head onto the torso

Boomers would do it in a heart beat.
They don't give a damn about enslaving generations with debt, now do they...

Damn it.

I thought I had a use for all of those spare dvd drives.

Wait, if you could print graphene with a dvd drive.

Could you use many dvd drives to make many slices inorder to build a water filter?

That's because most people think they're required to keep up with the Jones.

Do you really need to become a debt slave inorder to own a MC mansion?

Do you really have to buy your children the latest Ishit?

Could we take the concept of Khan Academy,and improve k-12 education in the states?

If children have the capabilities to learn faster than others,why hold them back?

I'm willing to be that the majority of the special ed students for the most part needed something on the lines of video,where they could rewind the lessons & retake it without being embarrassed about asking help from the teacher.

But why are you trying to cure third world diseases?

Why are you scientist trying to cure diseases,so that the Africans can starve another day?

I'm asking you folks, as you guys are going to become the next scientists.

If the world is becoming over populated, then why are scientist trying to cure disease that mostly affects the third world?

Why don't we do this in Africa?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_borehole_disposal
The concept involves drilling a borehole about 5 km down into the Earth's crust. High level waste, like spent nuclear fuel, would be sealed in strong steel containers and lowered down the borehole, filling the bottom one or two kilometres of the hole. The rest of the borehole is then sealed with appropriate materials, including perhaps clay, cement, crushed rock backfill, and asphalt, to ensure a low-permeability barrier between the waste and the land surface.
The deep borehole concept can be applied to any amount of waste. For countries that do not rely on nuclear power plants, their entire inventory of high-level nuclear waste could perhaps be disposed of in a single borehole.

Current estimates suggest that spent fuel generated from a single large nuclear power plant operating for multiple decades could be disposed of in fewer than ten boreholes. Borehole disposal programs could be terminated at any time with little loss of investment because each borehole is independent. The modular nature of borehole disposal would lend itself to regional, or on-site, disposal of nuclear waste. Another attraction of the deep borehole option is that holes might be drilled and waste emplaced using modifications of existing oil and gas drilling technologies.

Finally, the environmental impact is small. The waste handling facility at the wellhead, plus a temporary security buffer zone, would require about one square kilometer. When the borehole is filled and sealed, the land can be returned to a pristine condition.
