Are there types of tea you are/aren't supposed to add milk to? or is it preference?

Reply to comment by Robo-Connery in National Ignition Facility (NIF) announces net positive energy fusion experiment by Robo-Connery
That's pretty much what I thought. Kind of like the supercollider America started building then stopped.
If America commited a trillion$ over 10 years they could have a giant fusion machine. But it would be just an ungodly proof of concept. You'd still have to figure out all the details of getting it to usable size.
But hey... Better than spending it on killing people right?

So, dollarwise, how much would doubling or tripling the budget reduce the time until ITER can be completed and showing results?
We're still 5+ years until ITER even turns on right? Could you cut that to 2 years with enough money?

Reply to comment by mfb- in Did the impact from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs change the earth’s orbit? by phoinex711
We just did that with a satellite hitting an asteroid. Of course those masses are much closer in size, but it only changed the asteroids spin slightly, but measurable over days.
And there is totally things that compound, every change in mass or velocity changes it's interaction with all gravitational bodies. Which all act on each other...

Do we know that is around the speed it hit at? or approached at?
I know you are throwing rough numbers around, but wouldn't a 50 meter change compound over 120million years? Or on that solar scale is that so trivial its like a fly hitting a baseball?

Your circadian rhythm needs to hit the gym if it can be screwed up by a one hour change.
