"Like Cold Fusion, the supposed gravity shield experiments depend on measurement
of very small quantities in the presence of a lot of experimental error." Cold fusion makes considerable heat output; up to >1000watts/cm3.
That power density has increased continuously since 1989.
You might peddle your inaccurate facts to Taliban Bob Park.

Sorry to tell you, but Cold Fusion is an illusion.
To: Diogenesis
... but not cold fusion which has been confirmed by US Navy Labs and US national labs. You've gotta provide a source for that claim, I'm afraid.

"As opposed to the Vorlons, I suppose." That was supposed to remain a secret, well don't be surprized if your neighbors cat gets vaporized!

Given that I trust the US Navy, and US labs more than you,
you might either read the literature or go back under your rock.

How else do you explain the UFO's in my backyard at night?Bob Lazar knows how it works.

Disband NASA. Either give it something useful to do or shut it down. NASA has no reason to continue. Expand NASA. Give them a lot more money because they are one of the few government agencies who do something useful.

I thought that you said that those were black helicopters in your backyard at night.

"Its worth trying again with an improved setup, said the NASA paper."
A time machine would be much more useful and no more impossible.
All this money could be much better spent on invisibility lotions. ALL we need is "Mo Money..."

mankind is completely stranded on Earth (or at least in our solar sytem), And furthermore, earth is not a friendly place with these wannabe predators [terrorists] preying on the sheep [us]. It's a temporary misconception people have from time to time when they prey on other people, that some are predators and others prey, but these prey are not in sheep mode any longer. They are wolves, but we are wolves, too, wolves in sheeps' clothing. After this infestation is taken care of, we will get back to worrying about extending our civilization to the interstellar realms.
We don't actually need faster than light travel or antigravity to extend our borders out to, say, the nearest 50 stars, a few light years. Plus, there is progress in that instantaneous communicator device, apparently a real phenomenon --quantum entanglement-- real science.

I should have added to my post #49: JUNK SCIENCE!!!!
To: jgorris
Expand NASA That is the other side of the argument. They could be given a serious mission, such as building a moon base or a manned station orbiting Mars. If they had that, I say double, even triple their funding level. But the odds are against this happening anytime soon.

Last time NASA messed with gravity by landing men on the moon, it messed up the weather down here.
P.S. I'm kidding.

When there is any posibility it will work, they have to try it. The Russians caim to have gotten some results. It would be easy to write the whole thing off as nonsense, but on the one in a million chance that it will work they have to try.
No burocrat will take the risk that some whacko living in the Mojave Desert might build himself a working flying suacer while they are playing with big rockets. Very bad for the career.

I personally know a first-rate researcher who was tasked with determining the validity (or not) of Cold Fusion claims at a well-known and respected laboratory. He found absolutely nothing after spending considerable time and resources. He gave me a brief review of the claims and his work, and I'm convinced he is right. Most (by far) mainstream physicists agree with his side of the argument.
Now if you're talking about controlled fusion using lasers etc., that's another topic and in line with accepted knowledge of nuclear reactions. I'm talking about "Cold Fusion in a Jar" as first proposed by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons.
