Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.

Does no one read the article anymore before commenting? I’m not responding to all the comments here since it’s clearly a waste of my time, but every single one of the concerns that people mention in this thread so far has been acknowledged in the article already.

Works for me

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.

Now think about how many “birds” you’ve seen that were walking or resting instead of flying. The system takes cost-effectiveness into consideration.

To be fair, books are rather ineffective at killing Palestinian children. We gave many chances to the New York Public Library, but they have failed to rectify this issue. Market efficiency says that Israel should receive those funds instead.

Chinese censors deleted an article on Wednesday that reportedly leaked full-year population figures for 2023, revealing a plummeting birth rate despite ongoing efforts by the ruling party to encourage people to have families.

How would you have full population figures for 2023 before the end of the year? And if it’s an estimate, why bother releasing it now instead of waiting a week for an accurate number?

None of this makes sense. It’s nonsense.

Samsung should be able to cover the tab in the interim if they really wanted to build here

That’s the whole point. Samsung and TSMC never wanted to build American plants due to their history of stealing IPs, but the US government strong-armed them into building them. The subsidies were meant to smooth things over but now it’s not being doled out.

Never trust Americans to pay what they promised. This is a business lesson that you learn again and again in the real world.

Don’t be so quick to judge. The people who wisely chose to get paid in diapers just had their wages doubled.

“Every car you start driving with electricity, you’re not driving with oil,” said Robert Brecha, a professor of sustainability at the University of Dayton in Ohio

The journalist has to have a personal grudge against him. That d’oh quotation makes him seem dumber than my dog.

The mere act of public protest is illegal

What do you mean public protest is illegal. Public protests against the zero-covid policy forced the government to ease up on restrictions. I don’t think a single person was sentenced for that tantrum yet somehow China’s prohibiting protests?

Their entire economy is built on the backs of people who are paid pennies per hour.

Yeah Chinese laborers were paid pennies per hour by mostly Western capitalists (and increasingly internal Chinese capitalists). How is that the government’s fault? Chinese law mandates minimum wage increases so they are trying to do something about it and mostly succeeding.

I don’t know why I bothered to even respond. You’re literally a CCP bot who makes these weird allegations against the CCP to make anti-China people look crazy. Be gone from lemmy and make your 50 cents somewhere else. I banish you.

Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn’t respond to a request for comment

lol

The counteroffensive didn’t fail. Ukraine made significant gains and Russia’s military capacity crumbled at this point.

This article doesn’t pass the smell test - it’s Kremlin propaganda. Is China behind all of this?

“Japan once again strongly urges the Republic of Korea to immediately take appropriate measures to remedy the status of its breaches of international law,” she said.

International laws favor colonizers over victims? What a shock.

The only democracy in the middle east!

It’s 280 people a year max visa agreement when Tuvalu has 11,000 people. Australia’s getting a much better deal.
