    >which is 8% of the 80-char limit. What a strange problem to have. Why not just increase the limit? Why can't you have a special title with a higher limit?

    Hah! It's totality overbuilt for a product that squeezes a bag of Juice! That being said the idea did work for Coffee: e.g Keurig; just not juice. >it takes an engineer to make one…

    "Invest in the team" gets you Juicero. Great ambition; they raised a bunch of money. Great production; watch a tear down of the Juicero product itself, it is a mechanical work of a…

    It's not really that surprising. At some point the established players ossify and are unable to innovate when the playing field changes. A new thing comes along without this proble…

    Looks like your right. The US has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_CH-53E_Super_Stallion... as its near equivalent with a external payload of 36,000 lb. The Russian helicopt…

    Hey! That "music major" must have at least been well connected! She was just "managing" people anyways; not like she needed to know what she was doing.

    This is the coolest part of the mission IMO. My big question is where does it land? Does it dock with the rover? It seems to power itself via a solar array. About 100 days into the…
