But almost too good to be true. They can probably get a recording out within five minutes but what about 20? Or 100? I guess it depends on how many cd writers they bring along but I seriously doubt they can get the cds out at an acceptable rate at larger concerts.
Indeed it is an old story.
NASA actually tested ion engines back in 1968 on the ATS-4.
The test was successful so why did they wait over thirty years to actually use it?
Probably something like "What?!? No risk of an explosion? We can't have that. It's simply not exciting enough."
But what do I know? I'm just a software developer.

Errr... Ever heard of the Czech and the Slovaks?
Czechoslovakia split in two (peacefully) and both halves joined the EU right away, and were welcome with open arms, if memory serves well.
Czechoslovakia split in 1993. The Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic both joined the EU in May 2004. Hardly right away...
