Adaptive optics is what he was

talking about. And can adaptive optics do bah-millions of other jobs? I'm with him - space-based platforms are a better long-term investment.

Hell, it's a better investment even if it only gets us more practice in operating in space... WE HAVE TO GET OFF THIS ROCK.

Oh. Right. Space-based weapons will fill this role. No need for peaceful platforms in space. That would be a waste of money.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

I think Ross is underestimating the cost of space-based - (admin) - (8) - Nov. 15, 2004, 11:23:55 PM EST

Yes, but is it using good film? -NT - (drewk) - (1) - Nov. 15, 2004, 11:37:55 PM EST

No. - (folkert) - Nov. 16, 2004, 08:54:34 AM EST

This is the whole thing I believe is blowing - (folkert) - Nov. 16, 2004, 08:54:52 AM EST

I don't think that Ross is estimating the cost at all - (ben_tilly) - (4) - Nov. 16, 2004, 04:21:09 PM EST

It's a good reason. -NT - (imric) - (3) - Nov. 16, 2004, 04:33:49 PM EST

Yes, a good reason... - (folkert) - (2) - Nov. 16, 2004, 05:02:10 PM EST

But it isn't only those two jobs that Hubble is good for - (ben_tilly) - Nov. 16, 2004, 05:33:39 PM EST
