Sounds like a great idea. Getting the mass (Water)from the moon to the earth would be a great nich for the Ion engine, slow moving but cheap. There was a great article about beam forming from rolls of malleable metal. the ratio of mass delivered to space and the amount of structural strength that could be formed was very impressive. With the idea of a rail gun on the moon, you could ship your NI-AL spools and with an Ion engine, ship icebergs to the orbit of earth, or even ship ahead (of the manned mars mission) to mars by months, to be used for water or fuel. You do have a great idea but 10b will only get you to the moon to say hello, maybe,land and do the first shovel into the soil ceremony. My guess would be 20-50x your estimate to be in operation. The return would be like buying Microsoft at $.oooo1 @ share.////// IF I seem to be pushing ion engines, I am,ION ENGINES ROCK. Pushing the the DC-3's of space.
Well said, I could not agree with you more. Lets not forget that the perfect ISS has been revolving around this planet for billions of years, your friend and mine the Moon.
It would be very noble to use any development of this student's findings to help accident victims but how long is a voyage to Mars?,I think it is nine months?
Thanks for the information, I suppose what I was thinking and did not write was; Will the uraninite have to be dug up and disposed in a land fill or such or will be left as it is and the site be declared safe. Though it does not dissolve in water it can still be carried by water if the particles are small enough. hence my question
Sounds like a great idea, could save billions of $'s. Could someone help me with the characteristics of uraninite (level of radioactivity, level of toxicity)? They are having a big problem with heavy metal contamination from the abandoned gold and silver mines from the last century, out west, with the honey comb pathways left, ground water is moving faster and covering more area resulting in contamination that is a bigger issue then most would admit, perhaps this bug could help this situation...also.
that when many factors are taken into account, such as job description, life risks, what we decide to do for entertainment that some PEOPLE live longer than others.
Lets say the universe is a soccer for the sake of argument; turn the soccer ball inside out and the universe is on the outside and the inside does not exist and is infinite. so the universe could be expanding toward the center from all points and again the center does not exist and is infinite. Perhaps what is on the outside (otherside) of the expanding edge of the universe is the exact point from where it started.
I just looked up world in the dictionary and deffination #14 "A planet or other celestial body" sure Pluto has a bit of a struggle (unjust I may vote) but to siginify where we came from or even where we are at, I would think a decent representation of our solar system would be a good start. It is a nice touch but maybe the Europa(ian?) race of things that live under the ice are upset.
I haave a schaefer pen, refillable cartridge, it cost me 30.00 usd a few years ago. I use calligraphy ink, jet black. Disadvantages; it may need to have sonic cleaning after 10-15,000 words, schaefer does not reccomend permanant ink and will not warenty the pen.A few seconds for the ink to dry. The good points are; permence, some ball point ink can be chemicaly lifted, so checks can be a security problem. permance, felt pens can be a problem if notebook is dropped in water. I have written 60-75,000 words with mine and I really enjoy the rich black color. I never take this pen outside my home so I do not know what an every day use situation would create. If you want to write with the confidence of permanent this is a totally cool ink.
Take a magnet 6"x2"x1/2" and carve a sphere out the middle. What would be the characteristics of this sphere, what would happen if it was rolled across a flat steel plane?
This would be an experence to behold, there are actual cannon events held that include range and accuracy. In the few shows I have seen that exibit these cannons and mortars they do show homemade but most are civil war era (U.S.A.). One of the really neat mortars shot was a confederate bronze, probably 8-10 pounder, there was a very unique "chime" when it was fired. This was a big event. close to a hundred shooting and thousands watching. There is also a full auto shoot in Knobbcreek KY. very soon. for a fee you can shoot about any era full auto firearm. There are events where they shoot sticks of dynamite with full auto, from a safe distance. safty is a large concen and handled in both leagal and common sense manners....Don't do it if you do not want to.
If your name is Michael Douglas you girlfriend must be very attractive, seems like you have the best of both countries. My last name is welsh, some day I will have to tract down my ancestral village. I also hear that some of the worlds best tennors come from Wales.
I stand corrected again however less fat more sugar = crumbles it is interesting that the people involved in this study did not open a pastry text book, what makes a cookie crumble was figured out last century.
I stand corrected, however less fat, more sugar = crumbles. I retract the cheap crapy part you Brits are o.k.(most) heck we were enemies once what a beter foundation for fiendship
like when you have a wet book, add a dry powder and then you have a drying book with a wet powder. Is the wet powder removed? and if so removed from each page seperatly? There would still need to be heat to dry the book and the powder to have it fall away from the pages. Sounds like a good way to save a book but saving alot of time could be a goal not achieved.
the word commercialism was used, how about accomplishments in science in space or even to the first and then best science fiction story written in space...There will be "42's" floating around in space when we look in the right place or a litle closer.
Nothing like changing the subject in the first paragraph. From a baking point of view a cookie crumbles because of the amount of fat vs. sugar. Les fat more sugar=crumbles. Perhaps the biscuit they are talking about crumble because they are cheep crap biscuits, but who cares because they do not know the difference. I know why apples turn red, it has to do with the gas I need to mow my yard. Ion engines are slow but they can always deliver the mail.
of a math class where we studied Ven diagrams briefly: A intersects B, C encircles A an B, D intersects C and so on. It is endless. With the internet just when someone says "gotcha" someone else says "no, I got you".This situation with the recording industry only showa what the internet should not be used for..sticking it to some person on the (web) street because someone else needs ot make a house payment or is just plain greedy.

The same treatment also works (and like you say, should be done) for steel woks

I agree, and what a better sphere of search than carbon based(life), the steps and the needs for these steps, for it to happen.

Thanks, They also have an actual biscuit, flour, salt levener, perhaps milk or water, no sugar or egg, I wonder what they call these? Thanks again
