...The Greatest Weakness of America!

I think the others were right and that you are a troll. In any case, your enthusiasm for continuing the conversation in the complete absense of the simplest kind of research of the subject being discussed has outlasted my patience. I'm done. And that's saying something -- Mike is one of the most patient members of this group. (Apart perhaps from Henry, whose patience seems nearly inexhaustible.) Which of the crossposted groups is "this group"? The proponents of power from space seem to totally ignore the reality of a huge constellation of satellites in geostationary orbit having a variety of orbital parameters, even though they are able to stay in approximately the right place. All orbits are elliptical to some measure, so the satellites likely jockey around some. I don't know how accurate radar or radio range and azimuth tracking is, but suppose some satellites depart from the circular orbit by a few miles, there is some difficulty in making sure where they are before trying to ease into a slot near them. The frequency issue is just as bad, in fact, there could even be a show stopper problem with antenna size and frequency, how much energy can be absorbed by an antenna that is not near the half-wave ideal? All this talk about studying the subject is a typical liberal argument, rather than stating science or posting references, they just invoke the "everybody is uneducated but me" escape. |

Do you happen to have got a good link eplaining :them? : Read up on the CANDU reactors from Canada. They'll burn almost anything. http://www.nuclearfaq.ca/brat_fuel.htm http://www.nuclearfaq.ca/cnf_sectionA.htm -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw Highly interesting, especially IMO the possibility of burning nuclear waste. Could be very useful for f.e. France to burn its waste in CANDU reactors, reducing its radioactivity. Cheers, Einar |
