...I mean it actually sounds quite good? That's probably better secured than your password manager which has a very similar risk profile.

... It should have been built like that from the start though! And this relies on Microsoft never watering it down so they can skim user data off the top....

Those sound like things that should have been in the original specification?

The article didn't say who is paying for the delay, TFL, or the train manufacturer?

She was one of the people I mentally considered immortal. She has been 'old' my entire life.

I wouldn't call B1M in depth....

Wow, that site is annoying on mobile...

Game looks like it could be interesting, will wait for steam reviews.

Maybe I could have been more explicit. Without the planetary alignment that made the voyager probes possible an equivalent mission would be ridiculously expensive/impossible due to the fuel requirements (and wouldn't be able to visit all of the planets)

If starship/new glen/the rocket lab one work, it might become more feasible.

Instead, sending smaller, simpler probes that just visit one planet/moon would be much more cost effective, but still expensive.

We have already got a lot of the low hanging planetary science fruit from existing missions. New missions would need new/novel sensors or need Landers/aircraft which make them much more expensive.

Even just a 'standard' interplanetary mission isn't just an out of the box job like current earth satalites are becoming.

The voyager probes only got as far as they did because of their trajectory that got some massive (and rare) slingshots, it will take ages for the new horizons probe to get anywhere near as far.

We could probably spam missions to some other planets, who will pay for it though? We are not at the stage where an 'out of the box's mission can do that I think?

I wasn't watching it, but it sounds like it's COLs fault?

Is combining microwave rice and a frozen meal portion cooking then? Or to they have to be heated together?

Was caught on TV - what's wrong with doing that though?
