What is amazing is that Firefox can actually run at all with that many extensions installed.

Its the opposite for me. NASA site is unusable for me in Firefox while above one works without hitch.

They do not have to RDP. Powershell remoting or SSH are way faster way to examine the system.

> we are throwing so much resources at something that we already know we can do.

No, "we" knew how to do it with 10x more money and people on the board, in a very unsafely manner. It was a few times muscle flex and thats why it stopped.

Making entire thing routine, cheap and safe is something else, and "we" don't know yet how to do that, or we would have at least few scientists constantly on the Moon.

It's a difference between running a marathon and dropping dead, and doing it all the time.

> we have ...[other]... problems

This kind of thinking is nonsensical. With so many people around, there can be arbitrary group of people working on any kind of problem, without them needing to point to other groups as doing imaginary problems. You talk like unless everybody works on solving specific problem, its not going to get solved. Life simply doesn't work that way, mythical man month explained it well why for one, and then, you can't know what unexplored spaces bring (maybe game changing discoveries).

> I think that self-replication, and ability to harvest chemicals and energy from the environment to make more of what you're built of, is the point of complexification of chemistry that is best considered as the most primitive form of life

Once there are forms that harvest and self-replicate, however, its expectable that there will be forms that delegate those features to others, like viruses. Cellular machinery that is required to implement those feature is not free, so parasitic forms would have survival advantage.

The quality of the coffee depends on the technique used (and who does it). Yes, most decaf coffees suck, but there are some very good you can find. For example, Arpeggio [1] is for me and few people I know the best of all Nespreso coffees. In specialized coffee bars you can get amazing decafs.
