Is that an order? Should I snap to attention

Yes, then scrub the deck with a toothbrush.

They flew a drone loaded with explosives into an Israeli naval vessel
today causing heavy damage.
The thing was apparently one of these:

Called a "Mirsad-1" and built in Iran. It is supposed to carry a 50 kg
explosive load.


I was wondering how they hit that ship. Just as I'm typing this CNN reported
that Israel said it was an Iranian missile not a drone. But I don't see how
they
could hit that ship with an unguided missile.

Ya know, nothing scares Israel more than these little Palestinian rockets.
It only takes a handful of random shots a week to completely disrupt
daily life in most of their cities. Iran remembers what Saddam did
to them in their 'war of the cities', where Iranian cities were
devastated by scuds.

I think Iran wants to use Hezbollah to take over Lebanon.
The Iranians have us by the balls, if we mess with them directly
Iran can use an oil embargo to drive oil prices through the roof.
They might do it anyways.

It's the start of a new cold war I'm afraid. With nuclear weapons
replaced by threats of an 'energy winter'.

The Jihadists have opened a second front against Israel and
losing this means losing the war of terror.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Oil prices get too high, we finally
start hanging from the lamp posts those the environmentalists that
prevented nuclear power.

Then we take their life savings and invest it in TDP, grow our own
petroleum, and say "screw off' to the oil-producing nations.

I don't know if nuclear is the way to go, but we've got to figure out
some way to get largely energy independent, as this **** is going to get
worse and worse as time goes on.

Sure, we need to ban these model rocket builders, and invite them to
participate in our space colonization program using real honest to
goodness hydrogen rockets.

The energy problem is easily solved : condensed matter physics.

Conventional monocrystalline panels use a impurity driven donor
acceptor technology, but other creative approaches are allowed by
physics. The primary problem is the availability of platinum group
metals. My contribution is thus :

I've also looked closely at the high energy crystal defect model too.

million transistor handheld video communicator.

30 years ago, people were hoping that hydrogen fusion would save us. Is
that likely to pan out any time soon? How much money is spent on
researching it these days?

Sure, the sun is still burning fine as far as I can determine.

On condensed matter physics solutions for converting ~GeV fusion energy
delivered to the Earth in the form of ~eV optical energy, into ~meV
electrical energy?

Not enough, apparently.

Now the Israelis are stating that it was a radar-guided Iranian C-802
missile, which is either a Iranian version of a Chinese missile, or a
Chinese missiles sold to Iran:

the shore-launched antiship version uses a small turbojet for propulsion.
