Every 5 years these losers publish "results"
and claim that there will be a workable fusion test-bed reactor in 20 years.
"Fusion- 20 years away, same as in town".
Too cheap to meter!!!!!
Anyone read _Flare_ by Roger Zelazny and
Thomas T. Thomas?
One of the sub-stories describes how a jet
nearly wipes out because it's GPS nav system
is disrupted by a solar flare.
Read: All Asimov. Read: Fredrik Pohl: The Heechee saga: - Gateway, Beyond the blue event Horizon, Heechee rendevous, The Annals of the Heechee. (And the short stories) Avoid:anything by Robert Forward, (extremely irritating) Especially that jerk in "Timemaster". Read: Any AC Clarke before Gentry Lee signed on. Read:Harry Harrison: Stainless Steel Rat and the rest except for Bil the Galactic hero stuff. Read: Brin; Earth, the uplift series. Read: Any short story collections from the "golden days". One again piss on R. Forward, AUGGH!! I hate the hero in timemaster! Read: Niven, not Pournelle I would also recommend the Heinlein juvies. as well as Stranger and Job. -- remember to hate RL Forward Thanks, alistair

Smallpox vaccines are not made from smallpox virus. They are made from a virus called vaccinia. Stocks of smallpox are not needed to make vaccines.
The shuttle used in glide testing was called
the Enterprise. It was never launched into space.
The name was probably a sop to rabid ST fanbois though.
