My thought was Mercury. We could scoop out material from the dark side leaving the Sun facing side as a shield and just drop the panels as it orbits.

Most tartans are far newer than that, it was more or less an invention in Victorian times to sell in the new industry, tourism.

Must set an alarm to get the washing in, just in case. How many minutes is that?

We had Blakes7 in the UK.

It was the epitome of low budget, wobbly sets early 80's production values, but damn some of the storylines were dark.

When you read something like this then realise that T-Rex arms were so short they probably couldn't hold hands.

Gets even better, they borrowed money from a loan shark to buy it originally.

He invented tunnels!

The moon farmers will confuse the issue by demanding daylight saving!

Stopped reading here.

Really hope I never lose an arm now, my name isn't John.

Who you calling an Orca?!

Not OP but same. My mom would repeatedly headbutt sharks and shit until they stopped putting up a fight then rip open a flap on their stomachs so I could get to the yummy liver.

I bet she's buried a few and all, so the real number is probably quite a bit higher.

Yeah but I bet you have that bike jacked on monster wheels and rims right?

I'm no planetcoreologist but I reckon a planet sized spinning blob of molten metal slowing noticeably over a mere decade might be cause for a smidge of concern?

I know Piers is a POS, but he does good interviews of other POS.

I have up having kids so I can have my 2 weeks a year in the sun.

I would argue that modern man has to remember far more than our ancient ancestors.

Consider our education; even disadvantaged nations have compulsory education until 12 or 16 where even the most basic of subjects would seem incredibly complex to prehistoric man, maths, reading and writing.

And even if the vast majority of what we know is comparatively mundane compared to the tools for survival they required, it doesn't detract from the fact of its complexity.

I'm no expert, but even their art was only as complex as our grade schoolers which to me is indicative of an ability to form and communicate abstract ideas.

A lot of people anywhere.

It's very niche. You have to be in a very narrow band of disabilities to be able to get use out of it. For example, lots of people who use rollators can walk unaided for small distances and might find this too cumbersome and a lot of wheelchair users can't use one or more of their legs which this requires.

Don't get me wrong, it is fantastic engineering and will absolutely transform the lives of those who can get benefit from it, but it won't revolutionise the industry.

Reminds me of my childhood, except it was porn, hidden in bushes. Still exciting and magical though.

In your opinion.

Underground is trickier, will need lots of drilling and boring. Lava tubes are annoying not flat or level. It will happen but not until the surface is established.

What is useful though is that the surface is covered in regoilth. The company that can viably turn regoilth into cement on the moon is going to make bank. Cement is a very good shield against radiation.

Every billionaire needs 10,000 serfs so there's still hope for some of us!

Nearly four full months at 35 hours a week is a hefty community service tariff. Plus being a felony comes with its own disadvantages.

And there are other criminal charges and the $5m lawsuit still in the works with him already pleading guilty on this, isn't going to help.
