5411 miles in 46 hrs. That's 118mph average. How can someone drive
118mph average for 46 hrs, off road? |

1/23 Coin shortage could turn pennies to nickels

Can they really do that? Doesn't it just cause inflation or
depreciation of the US Dollar which defeats the purpose? |

1/23 "China weapons test shakes up world view"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070123/ap_on_re_as/china_missile_test
\_ I don't even know why people making a such big deal of this for
the following reasons:
- virtually all space program are run by the military. What made
China's space program so opaque again?
- what China has done allegedly is something US and USSR has done
in the 1980's. That is 25+ years later. What is a big deal?
- China has tried this 4+ times and this is the first time it
hit something. There is a huge chance that this is nothing but
a non-repeatable lucky shot.
- China has begged US to sign a treaty banning the arming of space
but US refused and said US need all means necessary to protect
itself. Don't you remember any of that yourself?
\_ It's a big deal because only US and USSR had the capability to
do this previously. Also, there are concerns that the
politicians don't have enough control over the military. |
