The Brits got it right from time to time, too.
Purple pageboy haircuts/silver metallic uniforms. Yummmmmm.

Yes, particularly the dimples... |
All I want to know is: Does this Put us any closer to the development of Warp Drive?
It's great to see our heart is always in the right place.
23 posts before the fawning stops. Thank you. This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. But Republicans don't care. Conservatism is dead among the party faithful
Consider for a momement that ultimately all science of any import is co-opted by the military, regardless of its specific field. It could searching for long-lost butterflies in the jungle, but if a certain chemical compound is detected that has 1000x the strength of existing polymers, it will investigated. A research project of this nature was probably funded from the DoD from the get-go; who knows what type of weapons/targeting refinements are going to be discovered.
Oh yes. Lord knows determining whether or not this planet is in some sort of vortex will have military value. Maybe we better check the space/time around the moon and Mars. Who knows when the Chinese or Russians could use that against us right?

I see. So we should all be glad our taxpayer dollars are being wasted solely on the possibility it will advance the military complex? Why? Because we're at war? Why don't we just nationalize all scientific research eh? Then we can just move on to other industries....Contrary to warped 'conservative' belief systems, the main intent of scientific research and discovery is not to forward the state.
"Seriesly, they need to bring back that whole Sci-Fi genre (complete with omnipresent pseudo-computer-cascading-light-panels in the background):"
They always pointed to a couple of spinning tape drives and said "this is the computer".
Ummm...Butt Dimples...
Man, that was a good show, Martin.
I'd forgotten about her! Got all hung up on Eartha Kitt & Julie Newmar.
Vefification of the "frame-dragging" effect helps in the proof of the Theory of Relativity.
When they originally started this project they had no idea the precision they needed. This project has gone through 2 or 3 major framwork changes.
Scientific study is a good thing for the government to be involved in, cerainly better than the FAA, HUD, Farm Subsidies etx
I'll agree to disagree with you here, I've been waiting for the results of this experiment for a while now
Huh? It already is. Name one aspect of science that is not (a) funded by the gov't, either directly or indirectly, and (b) isn't ultimately used by the military in some capacity.
Ever since WWII, the key to getting ahead in science is to understand its potential military component.
That's strange... I see the dimple and vortex everytime I flush the toilet... So what's the big deal?
