We need an accelerator like this to find the 'conservo-neuterino' that causes Republican cojones to shrink past the event horizon of political consciousness once they're elected to DC.

Whatever happened to the Texas Supercollider project? I know it got scrapped, but what happened to the site itself?

Cool article. But I am getting a little jealous of European science. They are going after more pure research like that to be accomplished with the LHC. I wish I was better at explaining why this sort of this is so critical to do. To many people have the attitude that if private enterprise won't do it, then it isn't worth doing. The technical spin offs from just building the thing are impressive enough. But what free market would think looking for the Higgs boson would be a direct money maker?

We let it get away, but building the Super-collider ("Super-Clyde") would have eaten much of the national science budget for some time. Tough call either way.

Where is America's Superconducting Supercollider? For that matter, where is America's moon base?

Good science. Soon to islamic Europe.
