Good to see SpaceX reaching out to other organizations for help investigating their recent explosion. Apparently it was a routine fueling operation with the engines off and no apparent heat sources.

Armed drones are now legal for law enforcement in North Dakota. That can't go bad.
Ya those won't be hacked into almost immediately.
You wouldn't even have to hack them, just get a remote that uses the same frequency and you could pilot them.
No hacking involved at all.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37320239While tasteless for certain, a lot of people need to get over themselves.
9/11 means almost nothing to a lot of people now. The US is a huge country and this event, while horrible, directly affected a very small amount of people.
Humans are designed to forget (probably wrong word, I am not a psychologist) and move on when things do not directly affect them.
9/11 means nothing to many people except that our government did some very illegal things like invading another country under false pretenses.
9/11 means nothing to other people except that the government took advantage of fear and took away or restricted/reduced many freedoms the U.S. citizens had prior to then.
9/11 was 15 years ago. There are children now in high school that have no memory of this event other than dry history classes.
For people my age, but removed from the events, 9/11 is a tragedy, and not something to make fun of. But still something that only affects me because of the wars affecting our economy at a high level and TSA at the airports. But you know what, that does not mean I can shit on someone who feels differently. They are allowed to feel differently.

It's a lot like "another sale day" at this point. And it is referenced strangely often for how long ago it was.

So not news?

Not sure why this is considered shocking. Two people fall asleep after shooting up... no one is hurt, no one is dead. It's just two junkies passed out. It's not pretty, but it is far from shocking.

These people sound like humans won't act like humans if they're in Merica. That's no different than anywhere else in the world, right?

But the USA aren't part of the third world... Maybe build fewer weapons and get your kids something to eat.

That would assume a coherent political system.
