Actually no.

Most economic sense for whom?

Back in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, I remember reading about railguns in popular science magazines. At the time, the primary advantage put forth was extremely low cost (in theory) since it was basically a hunk of metal projected using only electricity.

Where are you going to get the carbon?

It is the only book that I still pick up today that contains notes in the margins from my younger drug inspired self that makes me think I might have discovered something.

This post is very timely.

Net neutrality.

I spent many of my younger years helping people get elected to office. Never a federal race, but I did run several state wide campaigns.

Actually, it has been the opposite situation. It shouldn’t work (conservation of momentum) but every test done so far, has shown it to work.

lol

Are you really comparing being amused that the underdog pulled off an unlikely accomplishment, to why a large demographic votes directly against their economic and social self-interest?

Come on. There isn’t even a small part of you that finds it cool that a guy building an “impossible drive” in his garage is now being validated by two separate tests conducted by NASA?

That’s fair, but you have to admit that it makes the world a more interesting place that a guy who built his first prototype using TV parts and media stories referred to him as a “TV repair man” now has his invention being studied by NASA.

It wasn’t that long ago that most media reports on the EmDrive (the few that existed) started with the assumption that Roger Sawyer was a kook. The quotes from experts almost always automatically dismissed his invention because it would be “impossible”.

I see at least 3 billboards a day warning against transporting firewood because of the EAB.

Why?

The Model T didn’t kill horseback riding but did turn it into a hobby. The same will happen to driving.

Your right, the inability to run over a potential armed assailant is scarier than being one of the 3,397 (based on WHO statistics) deaths that occur on the road every day.

10-4 good buddy.
