A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I'm about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I'm absolutely loving it. They don't dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

I'm happy to be surprised but I doubt I'll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I've watched has been dumbed down "for a wider audience" and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we'll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with

Only took it once, I don't know anyone personally that took it more than once. If there's a minimum wait time it would be posted in your state's policies, but I'd guess they'll take your money for the second test as soon as you want the too

I don't believe there's much of a track record for private crafts reentering from orbit, intending to be recovered. Most private crafts like communication satellites breakup on reentry and don't pose much of a risk to ground population. This station was designed specifically to survive reentry intact. I'm not sure what kind of deorbit equipment that station has but I would guess that's what the FAA is concerned with. Any failure of navigation or propulsion during deorbit could result in the station losing control which would have it crashing down in some unpredictable point and time along its 25,000 mile path over ground. Undoubtedly there are some large populations below the orbit of this station

I made some vision boards back in grade school but I don't remember them having too much political power

That title made perfect sense to me, the term "vision board" describes everything in your comment

What's your concern? I've never heard any issues with purchasing anything on VPN. In fact, it's recommended to save money by getting around geo-pricing

Also in US, and I suspect many other countries

Your comment lacks a bit of experience/awareness about what's out there. The US is huge, you're going to find different experiences in different places. Your statement about New York being the only mass transit city in all of US is not true. My vacations to Seattle and Washington DC I had no car, went all over the city by bus and train, easily.

And here I am considering home schooling because this kind of teaching is making it into public schools more and more. AP Psychology was just outlawed in Florida and Louisiana schools must display "In God we trust" in every classroom

No, but I'm also not schizophrenic

Research looks into any and all superconductors all the time. The buzz right now is because a new one was potentially found, and it happens to function at room temperature. Discoveries don't happen on a schedule. If a superconductor was discovered that functioned at -15C, that would be huge news too as I believe the current warmest ambient pressure superconductor needs -140C to transition.
