<p>In my opinion TRISO fuel is bad because it has very low burn-up and is difficult to re-process.<p>These things together mean it has quite low utilization of enriched uranium.</p>

<p>Because all masses accelerate at equal rates in a gravitational field either:<p>1) Inertial mass and gravitational mass are exactly equal without an explanation why<p>or<p>2) The acceleration is just an effect of a curvature of space.<p>Imagine two bodies thrown exactly Northward on a sphere. Although their paths are parallel they would approach each other, as if there was an acceleration. This acceleration would be the same whatever their mass is.</p>

<p>> How do you explain airplanes that can fly with wing with symmetrical cross-section profile?<p>> How do you explain airplanes flying upside-down?<p>Angle of attack is what causes lift. If you have a surface angled against the relative wind, it will produce lift.</p>

<p>> For this portion I don't necessarily do TDD, because I remain unconvinced that writing unit tests first is inherently better than writing unit tests afterward.<p>I would argue that TDD doesn't imply writing unite tests - it's about writing any tests first.<p>If you have acceptance tests already written out, you're already doing TDD.</p>

<p>> Another way, if you know what the code is supposed to do, why write it down in two places?<p>This would be like criticizing double-entry accounting by asking "if you know what the amount is, why write it down in two places?"<p>We write the code down in two places because that gives us advantages that far outweigh the added effort:<p>- Once written, your test will catch regressions forever<p>- A test is often excellent documentation on what the code does<p>- It's now much easier to refactor the code, making it more likely that it will be refactored when needed.</p>

<p>> SpaceX ahs yet to get us some place we haven't been in space, or at the very least one we have not been to in a long time.<p>It got us to a place where the cost of a rocket launch is 10 times less than it was before, and soon it will get us to 100 times less. It's just a matter of time that this is leveraged to bring us to new physical places.<p>> And equalizing SpaceX successes with Musk a person does way more than just rub me the wrong way.<p>He is the person that single-handedly made the decision to start a rocket company, decided on the initial architecture, hired the key people and finance the whole operation.</p>
