"And not to mention the ill fated plan to detonate nuclear bombs behind a space craft as a method of propulsion. (Orion programme if my memory isn't failing)"
Yep. My question is, which idiot at NASA decided that their next series of spacecraft should be called "Orion" given the history of that name.
So is this a rigid dirigible? or just another blimp.
The Original Zeppelins, right up to the Hindenburg, all had w rigid structure, not just pressurized with air and gas.
Another use for these airships is advertising, like the Goodyear blimps, only they could use modern Light Emitting Diode signs instead of incandescents. If I had one of those LED Zeppelins, I'd name it Stairway To Heaven.
2/3 of this planets surface is covered with water. There is no shortage of water. Of course you may need to desalinate it and transport it to the area it is needed, but thats an energy problem mostly.
They could relocate the Data Centers to North Dakota and Minnesota, where by 2020 there will be plenty of wind generated electricity, and the cool climate makes air conditioning unnecessary for 8 months of the year.
Obviously we need new souces of energy to replace fossil fuels. Zero Point energy seems to be a good choice. I don't expect that we could get a ZPM small enough to carry around in your hands like they do on atlantis, but something the size of a bus would be good enough.
The concept of open source has been aroud for much longer than 10 years, I remember open source software on Fish disks for thte amiga in the mid eighties...
You only have to worry about going subsonic over populated land areas. If you're going from sydney to London you could go up the pacific and over the north pole, you wouldnt have to slow down until you got to scotland.

And then theres the Runestones they dug up around Alexandria...
will they be competitive with mid range priced hard drives? You can get 500GB for $100 these days.

If they let "Metropolis" compete in the olympics then Superman would win all the medals.

In space, all news is old news.
I'm waiting for Service Pack 3.11

Yougsters these days have it too easy, we used to have to work 29 hours a day, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work...
So who, apart from the airforce, Navy, marine corps, and NASA needs a keyboard that will operate while under acceleration of 68 meters/sec^2?
Most auto racing doesn't have to cope with oncoming traffic, or even intersections, and the drivers know what they7 are doing.

In The North Island of NZ, a bach is a summer cottage, like on a lake or seaside.
The University of North Dakota might want thefighting.su

Not a problem, the Tleilaxu can make us a Ghola.
While negative matter is attracted to normal matter, it also repels normal matter. Large amounts of negative matter would tend to fly apart.
The tidal effects would cause some damage. See the short story "Thw Hole Man" by Larry Niven.
2001 wasn't the only book ACC wrote you know. He also wrote articlea for science magazines, and I think Titan was mentioned there.

You'd still pay $1 for the pop, and then a $25,000 deposit for the bottle...
