Post #6,370 by DonRichards 8/22/01 4:53:38 PM Reply	All of you are missing something How is it no one is questioning if this Star Wars II will ever work any better than the first Star Wars boondoggle? "When it crosses my mind to do something, I don't ask why, I ask why not. And usually there's no reason not to, so I just go ahead. It's given me the strangest collection of hats"
Post #6,382 by addison 8/22/01 8:55:54 PM Reply	I don't think I'm missing that. What boondoggle? You have to define "Star Wars" - most of that is still theoretical (but research on things like attomic-pumped X-ray lasers has progressed greatly). Most of that was at the time theoretical, and still mostly theoretical. This is down to the good, ol counter-ballistic trajectory idea. Which has lots of prior history (anti-aircraft, anti-missile). There wasn't really a "Star Wars I". There was Sprint and Spartan, which as I've heard, worked OK, but that's back to the same sort of thing that's currently being talked about. Addison
Post #6,429 by Ashton 8/23/01 8:31:16 AM Reply	I don't think I've the patience just now to dissect your "I THINK it WILL work..." {yawn} and variations on that theme. I conclude simply - you'll pick some wishful idea of 'techno'-later.. VS any basic human common sense-now.. every time. In other areas we call that, You've Got Faith! Swell. I've Got Faith Too: Whether it would ever have worked, or not - what it Will torpedo now and Next makes it: Not Worth It. A.
