Well, one could also use ASAT weapons. And there's the Airborne Laser. That's supposed to be used to target ballistic warheads, but what's the real difference between a warhead and a LEO satellite in this case? Not really that much.
Pretty easy to get them mixed up, if you're within a 25mi radius of Sydney, NS. Otherwise, no risk of confusion. Sorry, Nova Scotians, your Sydney is not exactly a world-class city.
I have a ThinkPad T40p. One day, I dumped a whole glass of water on it. The ThinkPad kept running. I turned it off and removed the battery and disassembled it to dry it out. That's when I realized that the ThinkPad had designed-in channels for liquid to flow. It avoids any of the sensitive parts. I just used some paper towels to dab out the water, and let the keyboard dry. Powered it on and it worked like a champ.
The X-15 was mostly a USAF/private sector (North American) collaboration. NASA's role was minimal, and mostly restricted to data collection and analysis.
"Leeching?" DARPA has their own budget which they have been using to fund the various projects they have taken over from NASA. And it's not as if USAF/DoD hasn't contributed directly and indirectly to both NASA and DoE in the past.
Actually, in a recent (past month or so) edition of Aviation Week & Space Technology, they stated that the U.S. and E.U. had come to an agreement on Galileo where the U.S. could selectively disable the E.U. system in a given theater of operation. The article implied that it would occur via energy weapons--hence, this jamming system. AvWeek is quite authoritative.
A lot of proprietary systems were developed on it. The CIA had (not sure if they still do) a lot of NeXTstep apps. And First Chicago (now J.P. Morgan) developed a lot of their internal systems using NeXTstep. That stuff is still around in various forms.
Honeywell's not in trouble. Your idle slashdot speculation aside, Honeywell does quite well. Their major industry is actually aerospace. But they do other things (HVAC, etc.) that is popular too.
That's not a true statement. UAL is already bankrupt, and AMR is nowhere near bankrupt. They have a few billion in the bank. They are just trying to keep from losing money, and they've succeeded lately.

Neocons? Cold War? I think your definition of one of those two terms is lacking.
U.S. Space Command. It's a real entity. And it has teeth.
Well, right now, they don't "control" it but NORAD keeps track of orbital stuff.

Look at page 8: IMF Report
if I could find a reference to it anywhere.
Or just launching shit into space.

That's quite a jump from a Mustang Mach 1.
This is apropos.
There are prior systems which spent a lot longer there.
Or not.

Cisco's MDS switches are beating the crap out of Brocade in this space, now.
Well, except if they had a hammer and sickle on the flag.
Yes, clearly you're right since I use Firefox with it all the time.

Honeywell makes civilian aerospace products as well.

This only duplicates Mercury-Redstone. Mercury-Atlas is another matter entirely--let alone Gemini-Titan.
According to the rules...so anyone from the da Vinci team...you know how to win!
