With dreams of Mars on the mindsof both NASAandElon Musk, long-distance crewed missions through space are coming. Why the need for speed? The first step of a space journey involves the use of launch rockets to get a ship into orbit. It is once a ship reaches space that things get interesting. To escape Earths gravity and reach deep space destinations, ships need additional acceleration. This is where nuclear systems come into play....

The workshop marked the official beginning of AI history. Read: [Everything you oughta know about narrow AI] What are the requirements of AGI? Defining artificial general intelligence is very difficult. These are the kind of functions you see in all humans since an early age.

It should also be able to reason about counterfactuals, alternative scenarios where you make changes to the scene....
At the time of writing, the infographics are still available and no further explanation has been offered. Its a nice idea but, unfortunately, its practically useless. For starters, the choice of one to five scale is quite arbitrary. It is when you analyze the graphs and equation behind it that things get murky.
