You Ain't a lyin there buddy that is exactly right That is why I bought a new set of speakers and sub and fired up those 40 yr old albums ROCK ON !! 300 wats of smoke should I fire up a fatty and drop a hit of acid to get it all to work? lol
Technology? Actually I was thinking about how unifying it was. Millions watching the events unfold and rooting for success. The whole apollo programs had its ups and downs in popularity, but that was the one that really pulled people together.
The defense department has always relied on the private sector for much of its scientific advances through R&D funding. The goal of every national laboratory (did you know we have 17 of them?) is to transfer the technology they develop to a private company through licenses or patents. University labs spin of companies too, Bose was a lab project at MIT. Did you know Intellectual Property is protected in the Constitution?
Music can unite - for example any world Stones tour - even Cuba! Stones, man! Look at the crowds in Rio!
Be sure to bring up politics at Thanksgiving dinner. It's going to save you a lot of money on Christmas gifts!
5 pages of talking about NOT talking about Politics, ironic! I would much rather see a Ban on threads about LS swapping a Buick!
You're point is that the private sector is responsible for defense research? If it wasn't for expensive things like war and the space race, the necessity needed wouldn't have be there to create many of the advancements... or at the very least , when they did. It takes both, private and public sectors...
When reading headlines, you can figure out which is going to be an opinion piece or something real from the headline. As soon as you start reading realize how its tickling your mind. How is the writer drawing you in emotionally. Are you learning something or are you feeling something. As soon as you start feeling something realize it. Then you know how to react to it. Preferably not how the writer wants you to.
There's just alot of angry restless people right now period, not age or gender related at all. Covid has everyone with their fists up ready to throw down (on the keyboard or real life) over any little spat. I also love how this post has changed course and for what I think is the better. I wish I was around for the space race and all the "new" technological break throughs that half you guys got to experience. I mean it was quite the time for our spieces really. Today's science is quite impressive too, like one tiny chip the size of a rice grain can operate a nuclear sub from half way across the world........mind blown!! Lol
I'd say? Lack of maturity is the number one reason we can't discuss subjects that will now or later affect our lives?
