The Dozen Space Weapon Myths

Posted by Hemos on from the look-up-project-avalon dept.

Thanks to Disowned Sky for finding a good debunking piece on space based weapon systems. Slightly disheartening, because I really want to have solar energy satellites that are also lasers. The article does a good job of looking further afield at nations besides the United States efforts in this area.

  3. Time travel is possible, and NASA has it by will_die · · Score: 3, Funny

    Forget all those press stories from scientists currently around that say time travel is impossible.
    We now have proof that NASA and the US Military have it.
    As clearly started in this article, from a guy in NASA, the US Military is talking about going back in time by 7+ years and put a missle defense system in Czechoslovakia.
