Any group to see that Herb is an ignorant and rude Luddite who thinks

Herb? Do you really take time off from maintaining your web site and
posting to Usenet to destroy textile machines? I'm shocked and appalled.

ISS is high tech.

The space station? Some really cutting edge research is being done up
there. ISS is high tech in every possible way.

"Bombardmentfarce" is an idiotic kid who doesn't know technology from
the hole in his ass. He's also jealous because some of the ECLSS
hardware I designed is actually on-orbit an operational in the U.S.
segments of ISS as I type this, unlike his thermonuclear wet-dreams.

Nice. My interest has pretty much been limited to the Fluids and Combustion
Lab rather than on the station itself, but that's pretty impressive. You
say your hardware is used on the U.S. segments? I had assumed that life
support would be a station-wide integration. Is that a Hamilton or Marshall
contribution (or both)?

Posting to Usenet to delay our quest for the Frontier by denigrating
good, needed technolgies he doesn't even try to understand..

jealous ... ECLSS

"ECLSS also manages the storage and. disposal of water and crew waste."

That's it, I'm jealous of your wonderful HVAC and sewage work on a
platform that does only a few man-hours of not very interesting
research a week.

Now the sewage/engine interface on the Orion would have been something
to brag about.

"Without a solution to the crew availability problem, and other
limitations in facility access and operations, the ISS can never
achieve the status of a world-class research laboratory"

Easy, boy, I'm not attacking you yet. Space *is* the Frontier. People
didn't sail to the New World in order to learn about ships and the problems
associated with an extended voyage. By the time the first trans-Atlantic
voyages were made, sailing, ships, and all of the inherent problems were old
hat. At this point, we've done little more than make a few dug-out canoes
and paddle across the English Channel.

The FTSCE's work with gallium arsenide solar cells for one.

I still don't see where you are coming from. Waste is a very serious issue
and experiments that may seem "not very interesting" can be revolutionary.
Remember Archimedes and his bath?

to brag about.

Who can say? There is still the whole ablation/spalling of the pusher
plates yet to be resolved and there is currently no practical way to test
it. One thing is for sure, it would leave a nasty wake. Daedalus might
have some possibilities when technology catches up to it, but still, you may
have a great sail, but it won't do any good if you die from scurvy. The
"not very interesting" experiments must go on.

What really annoys me is that a discussion of the ups and downs of the
Orion space battleship concept would have been a lot of fun, and instead
this jerk pretty much ruined it for us with his whacky ideas that seems
to confuse reality with some sort of fantasy space wargame.

So, how's that dried mucus collection coming?

Oh, don't get me wrong, good research is being done now, but we could be
doing much more. The research that is being conducted currently could be
done on a larger scale with more resources. The problem is that too many
people think that the research is "not very interesting" and don't want to
foot the bill.
