Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel?
garg0yle writes "As if relativity wasn't enough to prevent us traveling at light speed, Professor William Edelstein of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is now claiming that the interstellar hydrogen, compressed in front of the ship, would bring the journey to a shocking end. 'As the spaceship reached 99.999998 per cent of the speed of light, "hydrogen atoms would seem to reach a staggering 7 teraelectron volts," which for the crew "would be like standing in front of the Large Hadron Collider beam."'"

The faulty parts were actually made in America, to sabotage Toyota and start a FUD campaign to encourage Americans to become afraid of foreign cars and buy GM's pieces of shit.
Toyota makes remarkable demands of several domestic (US) auto-parts manufacturers, requiring incredible engineering investment.
Then they order the minimum quantity, sending them to China to be reverse engineered and mass-produced. Goodbye margins!
