Apollo 11 Lunar landing - 40th aniversary
"Wolfgang Weisselberg" wrote in message
... Cause computers cannot do the job fine without them. You might have to LOOK UP the details of the Apollo 11 landing; human interaction was critical twice for a safe landing. Please read what I wrote. I didn't say "exploration", I didn't say "exploitation", I said "settle". You know, what people did in the American West between when there were only Indians and now. Are you talking about the same courses that caused all these many banks to collapse recently? Must be very expensive, these courses, learning how to destroy so much money so fast. Some good comment there. Technology is marvellous and can do many useful things but I've seen plenty of geologists comment that it's not a substitute for being there. Building machines with the necessary IQ and dexterity isn't there yet. What's the point of getting out of bed in the morning? We still have to find something to do and enjoy, or we'd just be a waste of DNA. We may be anyway but at least it takes our minds off it. I've done those management courses. Some are very good and some managers are excellent but you can find the same lessons walking down the street and great people everywhere. One just has to look. -- Charles E Hardwidge |

There are two US Navy reactors lying on the bottom of the ocean amidst the wreckage of the submarines in which they were installed. On the other hand they've been there for more than 40 years and nothing horrible has happened. What's 'problematic' about nuclear are the politics. Bingo. |

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to Google vitrification to see the process is one of several methods used to store nuclear (including spent fuel rod components) waste. Or Ray could have checked the Savannah River site. Truly sad how 3 mile Island and fear mongering has brought nuclear plant construction to,almost, a dead stop. |
