Reply to want to work at nasa but math is not my strong suit, any tips? by jiraiya_myoboku

You can always apply as human resource or custodian. You need to be good at math. It's not even that hard. Math is algebra, even the more advanced math is mostly algebra. Become really good at algebra, like really really good. It sucks they took down zlibrary, there were so many books available for you to become really good at math. And poof! All of it is gone in a day's time.

Reply to Which medical specialties are future proof? by MeronDC

Neurosurgeon and, really, a medical specialist that never stops learning. And is creative, and willing to help. But, as it should be, robots will be able to do most diagnosing and surgery.

​

You, as a medical specialist, will read over the surgery and documents of what the robots do. Kinda like an auditor.

Reply to comment by SuckmyBlunt545 in DARPA wants aircraft that can maneuver with a radically different method by Hypx

Yeah, they showed a UFO-shaped military aircraft once on AHC. It was designed in the 50s and it was hovering and UFO-shaped. I think they already have stuff that they are still experimenting on in the hopes it becomes economically feasible someday. People aren't happy with a 2 billion dollar plane, imagine a plane that cost 20 billion dollars? That wouldn't sit with people.

But oddly enough a 10 billion dollar aircraft carrier is fine.

There's a website where you can use similar images to try and identify new objects. I think it's called Planet Nine or something. But the images in this post are much better resolution than the ones on that website. And I still can't tell how they could identify Pluto from these images.
