-58. Design thinking is worth 6 tons !!:
http://www.buran.su/buranvssts-comparison.php
As a whole the 2 shuttles have the same dimensions, mainly because Buran was made to be a counterpart of the STS Shuttle. But Buran is a little bit lighter than the STS orbiter (62 tons instead of 68 tons). The major difference is the rear of the shuttles, STS have 3 powerful engines SSME for the lift-off whereas Buran has no. This due to an important difference in the design process. Buran was only a payload of the Energia LV so its engines was only for the orbit trajectories. The STS Shuttle has powerful engines because they are used for the putting into orbit, but once there they are useless.

-5 Microchip implant for birth control
# although the arguments give around about the end of the article at week at best and try to tug at the victim mentality of countries mentioned..
# but the ethics implications of remote control are worth giving a serious thought to
https://www.globalresearch.ca/bill-gates-temporary-sterilization-microchip-in-beta-female-testing-by-end-of-year/5460181
# technically very interesting
# too many ethics questions unanswered
# may be if the device has an "air-gap" (no-network connectivity) + can can only be read + by any standard screen / data transfer protocol
( I have good working knowledge of electronics to understand that this is very much do-able if the designer has the will for it)
# basically having the air-gap ensures that anyone who needs to tamper with the chip needs to kidnap you.. OR
swap your chip with another one.. surely have to physically interact with the recipient.
# albeit makes maintenance that bit harder, you would need to goto a clinic / service centre (Gives me a Dues Ex kind of a feeling) to get it fixed.
# may be only then can the recipient / subject of the implant be in complete
# Could be a superb method of insulin delivery !
(I hope the the makers soon realise that more money to be made with diabetes management than with birth control, )
