Shakespeare, like any great writer, is a product of his time and place. His genius lies in unveiling the timeless truths of the human condition and dramatizing them in a way that is universally appealing. We should appreciate his works for their sheer quality rather than reject them as relics of colonialism. Thousands of words, and hundreds of expressions and phrases, in English owe their existence in our contemporary idiom to him. Millions of English-speakers today, from America to Zimbabwe and certainly including India, quote Shakespeare every day without even realizing it. " What is a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" we are probably conscious that we are citing Romeo and Juliet. But the same is not true when we utter common words like baseless, disgraceful, gloomy, suspicious or inauspicious, all of which have no recorded usage before Shakespeare brought them into the language. When we "break the ice" with someone, we are citing The Taming of...

SpaceX's original headquarters in El Segundo were not quite up to the company's desired image as a place where the cool kids want to work. This is not a problem for SpaceX's new facility in Hawthorne. The building's address is 1 Rocket Road, and it has the Hawthorne Municipal Airport and several tooling and manufacturing companies as neighbors. While the SpaceX building resembles the others in size and shape, its all-white color makes it the obvious outlier. The structure looks like an enormous, rectangular glacier that's been planted in midst of a particularly soulless portion of Los Angeles Country's sprawl. Visitors to SpaceX have to walk past a security guard and through a small executive parking lot where Musk parks his black Model S, which is on the side of the building's entrance. The front doors are reflective and hide what's on the inside, which is more white. There are white walls in the large hall entrance, a funky white table in the waiting ...

He might ask one question or he might ask several. You can be sure, though, that he will roll out the Riddle:"You're standing on the surface of the Earth. You walk one mile south, one mile west, and one mile north. You end up exactly where you started. Where are you?" One answer to that is the North Pole, and most of the engineers get it right away. That's when Musk will follow up with"Where else could you be?" The other answer is somewhere close to the South Pole where, if you walk one mile south, the circumference of the Earth becomes one mile. Fewer engineers get this answer, and Musk will happily walk them through that riddle and others and cite any relevant equations during his explanations. He tends to care less about how they describe the problem and their approach to solving it. If You Like This Article?  Tell me in the comments below. If you had liked and or if I need improvements.

The SpaceX hiring model places some emphasis on getting top marks from top schools. However, most of the attention is given to spotting Engineers with type A personality traits. The company's recruiters look for people who might excel at robot building competitions or who are car racing hobbyists who have built unusual vehicles. The objective is to find individuals who ooze passion, can work well as a part of a team, and have real life experiences bending metal. Like many tech companies, SpaceX subjects in a series   of tests and interviews. Some of the interviews are easy going chats where both parties get to feel each other; others are filled with quizzes which are quite hard. Engineers tend to to face the rigorous interrogations, although business types and salesman are made to suffer, too. Coders are expected to pass through standard challenges have rude awakenings. Companies will typically challenge software developers on the spot by asking them to solve problems that r...

It seems immeasurable, but the rest of the space industry has made space boring. The Russians, who dominate much of the business of sending people to space, do so with decades old equipment. The cramped Soyuz capsule that takes people to the space station has mechanical knobs and computer screens that appear unchanged from its inaugural 1966 flight. Countries new to the space race have mimicked the antiquated Russian and American equipment with maddening accuracy. When young people get into the aerospace industry, they're forced to either laugh or cry at the state of machines. Nothing sucks than working on a controlling mechanism which was last seen in a 1960s laundromat and the actual work environment is as outdated as the machines themselves. College grad have historically been forced to pick between a variety of slow moving military contractors and interesting but ineffectual start-ups.

It should be noted that there are many people in the space industry who doubt reusable rockets will work, in large part because of the stress the machines and the metal go through during launch. It's not clear that the most prized customers will even consider the reused spacecraft for launches due to their inherent risks. This is a big reason that other countries and have not pursued the technology. There's a camp of space experts who think Musk is flat-out wasting his time, and that engineering calculation already prove the reusable rockets to be a fool's errand.

The retirement of the space shuttle made the United States totally dependent on the Russians to get astronauts to the ISS. Russia gets to charge $70 million per person for the trip and top cut the United States of America as it sees fit during political rift. If You Like This Article?  Tell me in the comments below.

The United States has remained competitive in the most lucrative parts of the space industry, building the actual satellites and complementary systems and services to run them. Each year, the United States makes about one-third of all satellites and takes about 60%of the global satellite revenue. The majority of this revenue comes from business done with the U.S. government. China, Europe, and Russia account for almost all of the remaining satellite sales and launches. It's expected that China's role in the space industry will increase, while two of its least-favoured nations in space matters and dining so without much leverage.

SpaceX has metamorphosed from the joke of the aerospace industry into the most consistent operators. SpaceX sends a rocket up every month, carrying satellites for companies and nations and supplies to the international space station. SpaceX can undercut its U.S. competitors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Orbital Sciences on a ridiculous margin. Where these  competitors rely on  Russian and  other  foreign  suppliers, SpaceX  makes  all  of its machines  from scratch in  the  United States. Because of its low costs, SpaceX has once again made the United States a player in the worldwide commerical launch market. Its $60 million per launch cost is much less than what Europe and Japan charge and trumps even the relative bargains offered by the Russians and Chinese, who have the added benefit of decades of sunk government investment into their space programs as well as cheap labour. I think SpaceX is exploring the things we won't be expl...

The Congress party has opened a Bank in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The bank offers vegetables in the form of loans, deposits which generates interest like if you deposit 0.5 kg tomatoes today you will be getting 1 kg of tomato after 6 months, and lockers are also available.
