OT: 10 smartest countries in the world when it comes to science

That would probably work fine if there was funding for scientific goals instead of funding for specific projects. Then congress wouldn't be able to micromanage.

The Shuttle's design was dictated in large part by the DOD. The large wings (which meant a more complex TPS, longer turn-around time and meant the Shuttle had to be mounted lower down on the stack where it was more vulnerable) was to meet the military ~1000km "once around" crossrange requirement when launching into a polar orbit north from Vandenberg (which ended up never being done.)

A pure cargo lift/science vehicle wouldn't have been designed that way.

This is not neccessarily a declaration that you do not like pool. Merely only that the two are not required to take place together. (three actually)... At least that is all I can gather from that.

Most who actually dislike pool are usually not all that dexterous, or have confidence problems, or both.

They have addenda for the following years and the Russians got some as well.

Like ... "Oh look! There is a Burger King here!"

Degree can mean "extent" as well as a unit of temperature or angle or acade mic qualification. Post-graduate degrees are - in some senses - better than first degrees, because you can't usually get one without getting the first degree first, but they are academic, and any expectation they will to mean much in any practical applications is a misapprehension. Robert Bauer has a generous supply of them, even if he lacks a dictionary with which find ou t what the word means.

You are an idiot. Just because it can do multiple streams now does not mean it is a spy tool.

It likely was even in the peer-to-peer days. You are fooling yourself if you still haven't figured out that net streams get monitored and examined.

Sounds like they use "degrees" in France.
