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.

Get a clue. The fact is that there is no accepted solution for the

disposal of spent nuclear fuel in the US. That makes nuclear power
problematic.



Even the French have managed to find a way. And the Navy has
been using nuclear power for decades without an incident.

What's 'problematic' about nuclear are the politics.

For certain values of "incident". 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.

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.

mikey is an idiot who _still_ doesn't know the difference between
liquid nuclear waste and solid nuclear fuel, and who still seems to
believe that vitrification just makes it all go away.
