    World Embraces Nuclear Energy.

    Yes he should. Nuclear waste can be recycled. No, that's not right. Nuclear waste SHOULD be recycled. Unfortunately a bunch of dead head protestors persuaded the president of the US to ban recycling. Nuclear energy should be cheaper than coal. Unfortunately it isn't. This is because: 1)...

    "Logical" people stack the deck against Death Penalty

    Death row? Sure it is. Swifter justice is the answer. We make a decision and carry it through. The people who warrant execution don't deserve any further consideration. Stone them in the streets for all I care. Let the victims of the offender decide their fate and carry it through if they wish...

    "Logical" people stack the deck against Death Penalty

    Saves on taxes and you have one less head to count when the next population measure is taken. Win win.

    "Logical" people stack the deck against Death Penalty

    But who will pay for their "indefinate imprisonment". The prison system is a horrible experiment and should be abolished. As soon as you put any group of people together they will form new contacts and develop into a sub-culture. Only mad regimes would knowingly promote inner cultures centred...

    World Embraces Nuclear Energy.

    China currently has 8 new plants under construction. They plan a five fold increase in nuclear plants by 2020. India a four fold increase. Here in Australia where I live we have one test reactor in Sydney and people protesting it.

    Who do you think is the biggest threat to America?

    Dictators and Kings always do. Stalin wasn't evil. It was a common mental aberration. One that leaves the inflicted fully functional if incomplete. Megalomania. All great conquerors posess this pigheadedness. It's actually an asset in accomplishing your goal of expansion. Both Hitler and Stalin...

    World Embraces Nuclear Energy.

    Power-hungry world embraces nuclear energy By Patrice Hill THE WASHINGTON TIMES August 15, 2005 I've been waiting years for this swing of the pendulum to take full effect. Finally we are starting to move forward again. Progress requires energy. From the second page. Nobody died from...

    Who do you think is the biggest threat to America?

    America is it's own worst enemy. Democracies frequently suffer these sorts of problems. Sometimes they collapse. Often they change to fascist or communistic regimes. Hitler became the Chancellor of an advanced democratic nation. Stalin crawled to the top of a revolution supposedly aimed at...

    Hi there everybody!

    Nuclear Power has already been through it's trial of fire. Yes, Chernobyl was bloody terrible. Pardon my Australian! I think nearly 30 people died in that careless out of control meltdown. It taught the Russian's to be more adhering to safety protocols. The sloppy attitude to work and polluting...

    Hi there everybody!

    Afghanistan and Iraq are third world militaries. N.Korea would put up a fight. Like last time. I guess they are safe. Now it's Iran under the spotlight. Next maybe Syria. Maybe we should stop fighting each other and worry about the serious possible threats in this universe.

    Nuclear Power in Space?

    From theLiftport Group. Space Elevator Message Board. I'm only talking about one Orion launch. That's how good a big practical Orion launch would be for us. In contrast it would take thousands of dirty fireworks like NASA is using to achieve the same result. Look at how difficult and crazily...

    Nuclear Power in Space?

    Life always goes on doesn't it. While we are talking about these dangerous ropes instead of dangerous bombs our planet could be hit by a falling rock. It happens. A lot of things happen that are bad. Rarely can we accurately predict them or take preventative action. I can imagine two guys...

    Nuclear Power in Space?

    There are an estimated 50 million wandering black holes in our galaxy. You only see them when they eat and emit x-rays. Simply gravity assist like we use for probes swinging by jupiter.

    Nuclear Power in Space?

    Supposing it did? Why? Us Apes have already worked that out. Roboted probes have already been sent as pathfinders. Life is not about elliminating all risk. It would definately be an adventure. We would want the best ship possible. Rugged, simple and heavy. A ground or sea launched Orion of...

    Nuclear Power in Space?

    That's the best thing about NPR. No atomic bomb has ever accidentally detonated. Even if it somehow did, this wouldn't trigger the others. They are very hard to detonate. It requires a special sequence of events. Big fireworks are unreliable. One in ten launches fail for some reason. We've...
