Meanwhile players who got the analogue version of the game complain that having to do the necessary math to simulate the combat system and having to draw their own graphics with crayons is distracting them from the story of the game. They still love the game though and are already lining up outside of stores in anticipation of the expansion pack.

That seems like part of the point though. He set up a complicated system of programs connected over the Internet instead of actually taking notes. You can take notes with a pen and paper. Organize them in a folder. A physical folder.

I read the article. I watched the clip. I get that it will technically be doable but I keep coming back to the fact that you, Paul Miller, work on the Internet. You work on the Internet!
I don’t know. It strikes me a bit like a car journalist vowing to only use public transportation for a year. It’s interesting, it’s something I’m sure can be pulled off, but still… you WORK ON THE INTERNET!
Good luck, Paul. I hope you come back eventually.

You would also have to consider the tonnes of metal that a space faring species would transport the other way. We’ve already got problems with old debris zooming about in orbit. By the time a change in mass becomes an issue, if it ever would, we’d surely have put giant stations out in space already. But it’d be ways off.
Getting fewer NEOs speeding past us like bullets just waiting to kill everything while slightly increasing earth’s mass with really useful and expensive mass sounds great.

The scale is pretty off. If I’m not completely wrong the Enterprise would be about twice as wide as that plane is long.

The U.S. government figures it can’t operate a shuttle service to low earth orbit. The guy who directed ‘Titanic’ will mine asteroids between making movies and diving solo to the bottom of the earth’s deepest seas.
I don’t know which is crazier.
I do know that the shuttle program hasn’t been exciting for as long as I can remember and that space exploration and exploitation in general hasn’t been as exciting as it is now, post shuttle, since man stopped going to the moon.
These images, and other images like them, of the shuttles being decommissioned and put in storage are among the most inspiring images I’ve ever seen of the crafts because they capture the moment when, I hope and believe, humanity starts taking space seriously. They mark the end of an era in which the only ones who had access to space where the governments of a few nations, none of which had any real interest in using that capability. They are great images of the last moments of an historical era in spaceflight. Goodbye space shuttle; hello glorious future in space!
