Whith all these heat sources and readily available combustible fuels around its only a matter of time before one of these computer heads is gonna get torched.
Yes, I did misspell his name. It should be "Bernard Shaw"! *News FlasH* From the Baghdad Hilton Observatory, Bernard Shaw reporting. When I went to pee, somebody took my seat in the bomb shelter, err, em, the observatory.
All that money we spend on space exploration and we finally get something worth the expense. Boiling planets being ripped apart by out of control stars. Hiraldo Rivera reporting from outerspace. Wiz bang. Ratt a tat tat. The taliban is sooting at me. Wiz bang.
To get from here(oil based energy production) to there(hydrogen based) we need one or more intermediate steps. These would include fuel cell technology compatible with tradtional energy sources at first. There would follow all kinds of shifts in technology and social changes, years in the development. Energy consumption would decrease somewhat in this phase once the fuel cell technology matured and became dominant, the fuel cell's inherent advantage in efficiency would come into play. A 20% decrease in fuel consumption would be a nice plateau for the world to sit on. Fuel cell technology would easily adapt to whatever fuels were available and we could see different fuel sources become dominant on a regional basis, whatever is cheaply available, be it hydrogen, methanol, gasoline, diesel - they can all operate more efficiently in a fuel cell engine. I will not be solely hydrogen for some time if ever.
Being as I was born with heavy metals poisoning that wasn't discovered until I 36 years old, I'd tell myself to have a red blood cell mineral assay with heavy metals to save me an ungodly amount of trouble.
I was asked to recover the personal journal and notes of Lewis Bannon, the inventor of butyl rubber. He worked for Exxon Refinery after WWII and was eventually awarded 13 patents. His notes were stored on an ailing 486 with a 120mb hd and running Windows 95. I barely retrieved the info before the whole thing began to disentegrate.
The plot is contrived and the stories not very believable. I recently revisited one of Bertram Chandler's "John Grimes" books. Good stuff even after 28 years. Chandler wrote these "Captain of his own spaceship" stories effortlessly. I think the problem with these young TV execs is that they have not read many of the older SF authors (or maybe not any at all).
Very likely she has mercury poisoning from mercury amalgam fillings. The mercury causes treatment resistant strains of bacteria to grow in the body. Get the mercury out and the person's health should return to normal. See "Pain Free in 6 Weeks" at www.prestigepublishing.com . Also see www.amalgam.org for a whitepaper on this issue as well as information on legislation before congress to ban mercury amalgam fillings. It also has a list of countries that are phasing out or have already banned amalgam.
The courthouse where I worked would not let people do that as they earned income from the copying of documents. That might be a consideration elsewhere.
This is all fine and dandy but the tank will always be an expensive piece of weaponry that is an incredible drain on funds/manpower as well as a liability on the battlefield in its present configuration. The tank should evolve in such a way as to make the large crew-manned rotating turret unnecessary by replacing the main gun with some type of vertically launched missile as well as anti-projectile missile technology. This would make tanks less expensive to produce and more survivable on the battlefield.

Bogus science premises usually are well thought out, extensively researched but are dependant on one imaginary component, like carbon fiber nanotubes.
Ms uses other outlets to bring their message to the masses. Actually I'd prefer MS spam to the really stupid MS butterfly mascot on tv.

Or are the people in charge of our space program completely out of touch with reality?
Definitely Greg Bear. One of the best since Larry Niven.

Admiral! Set LUDICROUS speed!
Its a CRIME I'm tellin' ya, a CRIME!
Its pretty good too with only a few getting through once and a while.
Whats that hack doing here?!?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
DOH!...before spending $3 Billion dollars on Iridium.

And they looked inside your head and were amazed at the wide open space they found there.

Could you possibly say something hopeful and righteous once and a while?
