  1. Re:Hypervelocity? on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 1

    That law could infact be used if the object in question was to be accelerated with ion thrusters ; However it would take a few hundred (more?) years to get it into "hypervelocity". Or, for some _real_ havoc: decide who you're gonna blow up a few millenias before you do. =)

    Nothing to worry about.


    Or; for LOTR-geeks who measures times in rings:

    One ring to find them all,
    one ring to code them,
    one ring to send them all
    and into darkness bind them.
