Literally, the first Google result for "black hole star"

Yeah. That doesn't mean they can't do it. All it means is that the due democratic process is followed in order to ban apps. And there are checks and balances in place to help prevent any one party from abusing it.

Delist from where? Tiktok is not publicly traded. They can ban it if the US thinks they are doing something bad, like being used by a foreign power to get data on its citizens. Hence, the whole purpose of this bill.

Also, just because they might follow the law like GDPR, it doesn't mean that they can't break it at a moments notice if the CCP demands it since they have to by Chinese law.

I get your point, and I agree that we need better privacy laws, but that's a completely different issue from what this bill is trying to do.

This is not a question of privacy but a question of foreign power having access to that data. Do you think that a Chinese company would respect any privacy law that the US government passes?

No. The goal was to try to move it away from China, or at least appear to. And between China and the NSA, I would rather the NSA snoops through my data. They, at least, don't commit outright genocides.

China already bans all foreign apps and websites, even without a specific concern.

Not quite. There is no evidence that God or any gods exist, so it's purely faith. We have evidence that life exists on one planet (Earth), and there is an uncountable number of planets in the universe, so the probability that alien life exists is very real and not just belief/faith. Whether we'll ever find/interact with them is a different issue.

Having been contacted by aliens in the past, though, is still purely belief.

It's a catch 22 that they have on purpose.

If you have an illegal source of income and don't report it, then IRS will come after you because they'll notice the discrepancy between your spending and reported income, so they'll have probable cause to search/arrest you. This will then give evidence for other federal agencies.

And if you report you illegal income, then IRS will be happy but the other federal agencies will come after you because now they know about it and have probable cause to search/arrest you.

No. It's going to be more than that. The sentence is heavily impacted by the amount of damage and the number of victims. Considering the damage is in the billions of dollars and there are millions of victims (ie. customers), he's most likely going to max out the criteria for sentence length.

Thankfully, with the size of damages and number of victims, a conviction of even one of the charges will put him behind bars for at least 20 years. He also doesn't have a lot of the sympathy points that Elizabeth Holmes tried to use to lower her sentence (ie. becoming a monther, claiming rape in school, and being controlled by abusive Balwani, etc.)

Because the plan is not to just go to the Moon and back, but spend as much time there as possible. That may not always require going to the surface. It's also a lot easier to launch multiple landing missions from the gateway than from Earth since you can use it to pre-stage resources needed for landing.

I'm too lazy to look it up now, but the Lunar Gateway mission has been convered by many people on YouTube, so just look it up, and they'll explain it much better.

I would watch if it's Danny DeVitto as Caroline Ellison!

>(You seen those guys building a hospital)?

You mean the one that's started leaking and falling apart within a few months? China might have the speed and price in building something, but the quality is still crap.

That's a photo captured by the Orion's optical navigation camera. Overexposure is needed to see the stars more clearly.

OP is complaining that cameras designed to track stars to calculate position/orientation/etc. is not good at capturing images of the surface of the Moon. So it must be some NASA conspiracy! lol

As an engineer (not aerospace though), I'm a huge fan of the KISS principle.

Keep It Simple Stupid!

You don't need a high tech solution when a low tech one works. It's called a Whipple Shield

Musk also claimed that they would land on Mars in 2022 lol

Also, just because a rocket is capable of landing on Mars doesn't mean you'll send humans on it. You would first need to verify that it can get there, land AND take off again and return. That will require several trips to Mars to verify and that's assuming everything goes according to plan and there's no setbacks.

Plus, he's basing his estimation on the aspirational performance of a rocket that doesn't exist yet. They've changed their design quite a bit already, which further invalidates his estimates.

Of course there's something beyond it. There's the rest of the universe.

The observable universe is just a tiny piece of the universe we can see due to the time it takes light to reach us. It's not the edge of the universe.
