Could some of these principles be applied to polywell as well, and second point even if they made Tokamaks work they are still much to large to go on Ships and Boats. As I understand it anyway.

Not to alarm anyone or start any conspiracy theories, but does anyone have an idea why NASA's NIAC site seems to have disappeared from the Web? All applicable links now seem to redirect to the Office of the Chief Technologist's page. Rumor 1 Homeland security wanted the name National Infrastructure...

Has anyone seen or heard of what Dr Nebel's up to nowadays? I don't know any specifics, but he will be participating in the 14th US-Japan workshop on Inertial-Electrostatic Confinement Fusion as a representative of Tibbar Technologies.

Another problem that has an easy solution is durable cargo launch. We have put aside the concept of some cargo can be launched from A "super gun/ rocket combination". Water , foodstuffs, oxygen are not that G sensitive and could be launched that way. (SHARP) The bore diameter increases has a value o...

For now, I'd be happy with access to and from LEO. The zero g will help my back. In case I spot a nice island from orbit, I'd want to be able to visit it without needing an Act of Congress. Refueling needs won't be a concern with Polywell, at least for trips of a week or less. Regarding hyperdrive,...

Re: PlaceRaider

On the same note, I previous mention Friends with a pawn shop. They noticed a customer acting strangely on his phone. Put a heads up to the police department about this man. That night he tried to break into the building. (for whatever reason ?High?) He failed to notice that the police were parked o...

And the pork keeps flowing! Proofs my point again. A space infrastructure with cheap routine flights to LEO is the most important thing. It could not only save NASA money, but also the airforce. That means more money for other things. http://www.spacenews.com/military/121001-ala-colo-delegations-ba...

"Nothing" in answer to your question. once that becomes law and policy I will support it. But based on personal experience I do not see this happening in the near future. You see I have the unique perspective of seeing what most people do not see. The bottom line effects of what happens. If you will...

Also there is the review panel of 60 experts who have recommended continuation and expansion of the current effort. Really? When? Do you have a link? There is also the possibility that an all out black box project has been under way for years and the public effort is a smoke screen. I think that is...

Instead of just complaining, how would a mess of orbital debris be cleaned up? Big pieces could be picked up or kicked into disposal orbits if we had cheap enough space flight. How much debris is conductive, and would experience drag flying through a magnetic field? Would a satellite generating a s...
