I have a swimming pool with a tapered bottom. The force on the wall at the deep end is much greater than the force at the shallow end. I drive it around the city all the time. As soon as I can figure out how to turn it upright, I'll be giving free flights to slashdotters and Jerry's Kids.
Where can I locate the anonymous "Air Force visitor" who always gets trotted out as "proof" the inventor isn't a crackpot?
The CRIST Sol orbiters, or Cargo and Resources In-System
Transports were huge ships shaped like a hollow potato and
designed to be able to move huge amounts of material between
Earth and Mars with low cost and, theoretically, low
maintenance. The system was simple. The CRIST was put into
orbit around SOL on the plane of the ecliptic. Built with a
powerful solar sail, the CRIST could change its orbit easily
to pass by the Earth or Mars. On a flyby, materials could be
loaded or offloaded...
The design of the CRIST was innovative and useful, but it was
not low-maintenance... Each time that a CRIST broke down,
the result was famine on Mars......the coming of a Martian conflict was inevitable.
(Ironically, the Pfhor invasion pre-empted that massacre with another.)
By law, at least in California, the institution is required to directly notify each person whose records were known to be affected, and also make an announcement to the press.
I know this because I just discovered a similar security hole at a large, private university. The lawyers said they'd be making a press release, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll post again to Slashdot when it comes out.
