Yes, it correlates negatively with intelligence.

Science is not about explaining, it's about explaining away.

why does happy people stupid

every prof i had in college grew up with a professor for a parent

>implying Newton was a genius
I want this meme to stop. Newton was not a genius. He only did highschool math and physics. Calculus is NOT higher math.

There are actually a few government-run or funded programs right now.

Currently, the government's most-publicized program is sending astronauts to asteroids and eventually Mars. The problems with that initiative are many. The Space Launch System won't fly more than once every year in the most optimistic projections, and the majority of components we need to develop (Earth-Mars transit habitat module, Mars lander, Mars habitat, Earth-Mars propulsion) haven't even been budgeted and contracted yet. It's really unworkable under the current budget, and the entire thing is designed to give work to certain congressional districts.

The SLS and Orion flights to asteroids and Mars are just one program, however. NASA is funding commercial manned space flight, and that program shows enormous potential.

Meanwhile, NASA's robotic programs, including space-based observatories, have largely been extremely successful and have well-planned, feasible outlines for the future. By 2050, it's planned that NASA will image the surfaces of exoplanets, which will revolutionize astronomy.

So, yes, America has a few diversified and promising programs. It's just that the political nature of NASA forces the agency to take on some not-so-promising, extremely dead-end initiatives. And, even more dangerously, those dead ends are the programs that attract the most hype. It ought be reversed.

But, certainly, the progress in private space flight owes much to NASA both in the lessons companies have taken from NASA's past and the critical funding NASA gives commercial efforts today.

idk about you but I am pretty hype for the James Webb. That's run by Nasa isn't it?

>>7714588
Damn, I wish there was more funding for this stuff. Like enough to send 3 rockets up per month and developing methods to make it easier to get mass off planet.

shut the fuck up

I've been on campus for four months and haven't seen those jackets, are they actually a thing?

interesting. i hope we're not too late.

>>7714208
How is this going to advance our space program?

>>7714216
In every single way possible. But, I guess we'd have to actually have a space program to advance in order to actually advance it.

Through space, no.

>>7713911
yes. for example, just take a stick with the length of the distance from earth to mars. when you now move the stick, you can communicate from earth to mars faster than the speed of light.

>>7713917
>take a stick with the length of the distance from earth to mars

No. I can't believe this idea still comes up.

Communication via "rigid" stick is much, much slower than light.

>>7713150
Chill the fuck out. Scientists know barely anything about this.

>>7713150
Phew, I was worried Nibiru wasn't showing up

Nemesis!

>Do you think is ok that some students fail science and engineering courses

Yes. Scientists and engineers need to calculate values.

For mathematics, no. You should never be allowed to use a calculator in the first place and if you make a sign error or whatever you go back and fix it.

If you make a king armor under false assumptions that it'll solve the arrow problem when it doesn't, the king will fucking kill you.

"Oh yes, I got it right." No you didn't.

Dead blacksmith.

I'm talking about university math, not your high school problems.

Because it has math and math sucks cause MURICA & FREEDOM.

because i want a job that wont make me suicidal by the age of 30

Force the other Ramirez into the airlock and jettison him out so they can have a space-wrestling match.
Winner gets to watch the fire rise.

very. mindlessly taking notes instead of paying attention and learning is retarded

>>7716785
you might get a 50

Probably, I know when I took organic chem the final was much more difficult than the midterm. There's a chance is you religiously study the reactions and their mechanisms

just integrate three times and you're done

[math] f\left( x \right) = \prod\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left( {1 + {x^{{4^n}}}} \right)} [/math]

Find the convergence value of the function when x = 3/8. insert that into the next function then flip

The largest object on the moon seems to be "Apollo 15 S-IVB" located at 1.51°S 11.81°W is it even on the Earth side of the moon?

It's too small. You would need a telescope about 200 meters with sophisticated Adaptive Optics in diameter just to resolve the LM as a pixel.

>>7716671
You can't because its all fake and Earth is flat. Don't believe their lies!

>engineering

>>7716486
This basically. You kind of have to be able to get excited about your field. I constantly find myself thinking "wow this stuff is so Fucking cool ". I think if you have that you can be great in any engineering field.
