Antimatter Space Drive
sckienle writes "Space.com has an article on using anti-matter for propulsion in space. It isn't true Star Trek warp stuff, in fact it is a variation on an fusion based pellet design I saw in the late 70's, but interesting concept. The concept is still somewhat of a dream, as stated in the article: 'The real hub is the storage [of antimatter]. There's a lot of technology between here and there.' Later on it also mentions that we can't produce a lot of antimatter efficiently yet. Still it might be worth the effort if the theoretical acceleration proves out." The BBC has a story about studying antimatter in a lab.
...in fact it is a variation on an fusion based pellet design... Hate to be one to make such a lame, editorially nit-picky comment, but for fuck's sake! Come on allready! AN FUSION? sheesh...
Huh? Just because we don't currently have the technology to do something, that means it's impossible? Does that mean we should just give up and not try at all for it? Just where do you think progress comes from, then? 'Cuz it sure ain't delivered by a flock of Canadian geese 'dropping it off' on your lawn.
Shut the fuck up you goddamn bed-wetting liberal. Don't like it when kids don't have enough to eat? Why aren't you doing something about it other then whining about it on Slashdot? Here is some advice, go to the places where kids are hungry and ... shoot the fucking parents. It's their fucking fault that the kids are hungry. How fucking stupid is it to have children, which you'll have fo feed, when you don't have enough food to begin with. You talk about giving to people what they deserve. What the fuck has some little parasite in some shit hole third world country deserve? Why the fuck do they deserve it? What the fuck have they done? The upper and middle class stole their wealth? Hey fuck-knob, the do you realize that the lower class living in your whitebread suburb live like kings compared to the 3rd world? Why don't they figure into the equation? Scientists ... wealthy? fat? elite? right-wing? hardy har har har ... you ignorant shit. Who the fuck do you think you are to determine which experiments are useless? Couldn't hack it through the math, could you? Didn't have the drive or dedication it requires to burn your life out in search of answers? Shut the fuck up. Technology is worthless?!?! hmmm it was good enough for you to use to post on slashdot! You goddamn fucking hypocrite! Don't like our robber-baron society? Let me give you a clue fuck-tard, our society feeds the world. Our scientists and engineers bring them clean water, electricity, and medicine. Tell you what fuck stick, buy a one way ticket to the third world country of your choice, get off the airplane and start walking. When you get to someplace where there is no one around, build yourself a nice mud hut and live happily ever after. Shit bag.
