Wow, Nasa new rockets, after they squander the opportunity to greatly exceed this for $25m basic research funding they cut a few years back, will can Nasa rocket ever truly be considered a great invention worth it compared to what they game up.
Tank bred tuna very useful.
But is a $10m light bulb or smart thermostat really better than Natal.
