Chilloutman Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Star in a Jar: Space-Age Fusion Machine Underway. Getting closer. w00t Dont we get news about clean fusion every second day for like 50 years now? I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

Gfted1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Dont we get news about clean fusion every second day for like 50 years now?

213374U Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Not really a "discovery" per se, though I'm sure at some point they'll discover what caused it: Not the first time something SpaceX explodes, either, but that's gotta be a serious blow to a non-(completely)-gov't funded organization. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Guard Dog Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The rover Curiosity has found boron in Martian rocks. Boron is pretty rare here on earth comprising less than .01% of the crust. It's only found on the surface where it's solubility led to deposits by falling water levels. That is has been found on the Marian surface is yet more evidence that Mars once had liquid water on it's surface. That can only means it's atmosphere was once much more dense and the sun was once much more intense. Since Mars gets 40% less energy from the Sun than the Earth does I wonder is there was any scenario that allowed liquid water to exist on Mars & Earth simultaneously? I'd guess not. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nasa-curiosity-discovers-boron-mars-053220215.html 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
