yes, but the movie's premise was that it was the evil military that took the hero's work and used it to create a weapon when the hero didn't know about it. The final act of the movie was the sabotage of the weapon.
It is amazing that there are many FReeper that post here that don't want us in space and don't want a manned space program. I guess they are OK with a Chinese base on the moon.
Would they be OK if ala Heinlein they started throwing rocks down?

Your right. Its one of my favorite movie. I like it when they use the frozen nitrogen as money for the coffee machine. When I was also in college, I wore bedroom slippers to class like in the movie.

I want both a civilian and a military presence in space. It is imperative that the United States has a strong presence in the high frontier.
