They aren't going to be attaching an asteriod to the other end. Its much simpler to just make the cable 60,000km then it is to move an asteriod nearby GEO and make a 36,000km cable.
Im sure if you had lots of sheets of paper falling from the sky it would be just as big of an economic danger causing tsunamis and earthquakes and whatnot:roll"
You don't want a dell for gaming, especially not the cheap ones. My friend without asking me for advice first bought a $1200 dell system 2 months ago with a 15" flat panel... and it came with ONBOARD VIDEO, he couldnt even play 3 year old games nicely on the computer, they ran at like 12fps... You DONT Want it, just build a comp yourself, my 3 year old comp plays everything nicely and it cost around $1000 to build.
People really tend to over exagerate the problems with new technologies. By now we should have had multiple nuclear wars, would have extreme shortages of food, would have way too large of a population, would be all dying from pollution, would no thave enough oxygen to breathe from all the trees we cut down, blah blah blah.
The probe is already built so its definetly going to be launched. Plus it reaches Pluto around 2015, and the kuiper belt objects around 2016-2020. It's not going to be that long of a wait for the data to come in.
Plus, the scientists working on the Voyager mission would be better off working on the New Horizons Mission imo.
AIN'T IT ALSO FUNNY when a person like you is so ignorant as to not realize that NASA has a better mission planned http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/
You know whats even more funny, when a bunch of slashdot nerds try to throw in their own political agenda into what they say while trying to sound completely impartial. Your a bunch of idiots, a new and better probe is coming, Voyager isn't needed anymore.
"Nooooooo your going to kill pathfinder! but its done so much science!! bush adminstration = bad!!(hint 2 new landers called spirit and opportunity coming!)" --- Is what slashdot would be saying if bush was president 7 years ago(or however long ago pathfinder was)

There is going to be a better mission launching soon from NASA that is going to be exploring the outer reaches of the solar system better then the Voyager Probes could ever dream of doing.
How much heat are these things going to generate though. Because you know E = hf, if you have 100,000 times the frequency, your going to need to throw in 100,000 times the energy!! Of course that is simplification of what is really happening with these kinds of chips and it is much more complicated then just 100,000 times the energy needed. But it seems like these things might make the Pentium IV seems like a fridge!
"Am I crazy or did the Soviets collapse under their own political greed? " Sure, also because the capitalist system kicked their ass. Plus many many more reasons, partly because umm the good old USA didn't let the russians get into western europe.
"Didn't we lose the war in Vietnam?"
You missed the entire point. Yes we lost the vietnam war because the public didn't want it. The US military on the otherhand kicked the Vietcongs ass. Plus my point was that at that time the rest of the world was criticizing the US for participating in the war and accusing US media of censoring the war. But in reality it was because of US media that showed the war first hand to the people of the US that the war was stopped.
"That we had to even HAVE a civil rights movement speaks volumes about American culture..."
The fact that our Civil Rights Movement was peaceful also says a lot about American Culture. Let's not forget what 2 world wars say about other countries cultures.

I prefer OS X to linux... so sue me :D
In all seriousness though, I see a lot of Scientists in the US moving to OS X, its a much nicer Operating system for what we do then Linux.

Gimme a break folks and do your science.
but then the Ur'Quan will enslave us all :(
Unless humanity gains an appetite for eating giant tarantulas, we are doomed!! doomed I tell you!!

you and what army!
Don't be a troll, Bush is actually increasing NASA funding unlike umm clinton ehhmmm...
Umm the Shuttle actually is cheaper per kg then the Saturn V...
and its not really doing anything either, so why are you complaining?
That's why lots of research is university/federally funded.
ONOS Peak Oil!!
Killer Asteroid
Mutant Supervirus Bird Flu!!
The Rapture is coming!!
the world is going to end!!!
Second most powerful nation? And whom would the most powerful nation be?
Try out Independence War 2, it's an old game, but it is definetly amazing.
Sort of interesting, how about making it democratic? Vote for the company to do it every 2 years.
