Subject: BPL - UPLC -Repeat the lie three times and claim it for truth
From: PAMNO (N2EY) Date: 6/27/2004 8:36 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , (Steve Robeson K4CAP) writes: It was the early 70's when Detroit and the others really started slipping. That was the era of the Gremlins, the Mavericks, Pintos and Vegas. Yep. The main reason was simple: Detroit hadn't made the necessary investment in basic R&D. They knew how to make big heavy inefficient cars but not small efficient ones. My point exactly, Jim. We need to move the technology of our space program out of the 70/80's. If we continue to set our sights on LEO, that's all we'll ever do, save for the occassional cutsie-robot pushing sand around and drilling a whopping 6 inches into the soil. THERE was a waste of money. They didn't accomplish anything that on-orbit RADAR and spectral imaging couldn't accomplish. But it looked cute on CNN. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
