No antennae radiate all the power fed to them!

My point has more to do with establishing precedent, aimed at getting a mass public interested, so that a commercial market exists with practical ideas for use. Many of the things we use on Earth like reliable ballpoint pens, velcro, would not have got the same degree of interest or development. Nonsense. Velcro was invented in 1948 and in extensive use well before there was a real space program. The ballpoint pen was invented in 1888 and in extensive use well before there was a space program. The "space" ballpoint pen was simply an ordinary pen build to tight tolerances with a pressurized ink cartridge and they are a tiny fraction of ballpoint pens sold every year as there is zero advantage to them in gravity while being expensive. Where do you get all this nonsense? -- Jim Pennino |
