[history]
China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

Hi Folks!
Snow on the ground here in Central PA. Cold, too!
Yesterday in Maryland I got by with wearing a heavy shirt outside during the day, but this is a combination of weather from the NorthWest, higher altitude, and higher latitude.
In the Summertime, when others head for the beach, I head for the mountains, and I never need an air-conditioner.
Unfortunately, the library doesn't stay open very long!

"... did we ping you to the "to mars in 3 hours" thread?" Yep, I saw it! I'd like to see what powerful magnetic fields can do to physics myself. I've heard that they have successfully levitated a mouse using intense magnetic fields without harming it.
Irish, the Bussard Ramjet would also depend on intense and far-reaching magnetic fields, so this research could be cross-fertilizing.
I doubt that such ramjets could be used in-system, the hope was always that enough Hydrogen could be scooped up between the stars to fuel the star-drive.
Efficiency is a question, though. That and the proper fuel mix. Most physicists feel that Tritium will be needed for sustained fusion.
I doubt that the typical picture of a Bussard Ramjet would be able to go very fast. It might be able to proceed indefinitely without refueling, but at a cost of going at only a lower fraction of the speed of light. That thus makes it a multi-generation ship.
At least it would permit stellar migration, which is the only insurance program for the human race with a certain feedback.
All of us have hopes for super-luminal speed, but in the meantime, we should still keep plodding along.

Ok so we seem to need to find an energy source. How about fusion as opposed to fission? Any way to power WITHOUT gobs and gobs of reactor mass?

Fusion should be a possibility. We are at the equivalent stage of the Newcomen Steam Engine prior to James Watt's improvements in it.
Reactor mass should not be a factor in the design. What currently restricts us the ability to constrain such a volatile plasma so as to get it to combine in sufficient numbers to power the contraption. It wants to fly apart something fierce!
Sufficient magnetic field strength, combine with injected radio and electrical energy, should be able to be put together eventually in something not much larger than conventional internal combustion engines.
One of the most intriguing designs I've seen involved treating magnetic Fusion as if it were an amplification problem in electronics, and building a two-meter diameter "vacuum tube" with magnetic components replacing the electrical ones, and protons standing in for the electrons. Kinda makes you go, "Hmmm..."

The Bussard is just another hypothetical form of propulsion - like solar sail been driven by a maser.
Anyway, I'm going looking for the Mars thread....

AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions.........and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine.
WOW!!!

interesting stuff. totally incomprehensible to me, but interesting. on another subject: does anybody need a kitten? Prout just called in whilst acquiring 5 - count 'em - 5 kittens. says they're very cute. all kittens at 6 weeks of age, which these may well be, or a little less, are cute. 3 blackish ones and two grey ones. all doubtless females. i am of the opinion that all kittens are born female and a certain (small) percentage of them become male just to keep the species going.

The theoretical possibility of such a device resurrects the Drake Equation with a vengeance.
"If such technology is possible, where are they?"
They being the supposed superior civilizations out in the rest of the galaxy.

If "they" are there, "they" could be either supremely disinterested in us or they could be sending us an invite in a hyper-luminal medium that we have yet to identify. Why would they be using lasers/radio waves across those same distances we find so daunting? If you have the means to use something a LOT faster, why would you want to wait millinia to talk to a race who is so far below your own tech level?
Things to ponder...
