101) 留言板 : Cafe SETI : Weaponization of Space (消息 79639) 发表于：15 Feb 2005 作者： Stephen Macy Post: President Carter announced stealth technology when he cancelled the original B-1 which President Reagan started back up. The SR71 started life as the A-12, then changed to F-12 as a mach 3 interceptor. The original A was because of funding problems in getting the project started. When congress refused to fund the XB-70, the Airforce tried to get it funded by changing it to the SR-70 for strategic reconnaissance, also refused. Still needing a replacement for the U-2, the radar and infared detectors on the F-12 were removed, the nose chines were carried all the way forward, which improved performance, the missle bays were changed to camera bays and the designation changed to SR-71. This was not done in secret. I was reading about it as it was being done back in the late 50s and early 60s. The secret items were and are the capabilities of systems, top speed and altitude. The J-58 engines were secret, but I have lately found information about them on the internet. I have also found a lot of mis-information about the SR-71 on the internet.

I could not be overridden, not even by the assigned aircraft commander. NASA needs to institute authority to the engineers to refuse to launch if they feel its unsafe.

111) 留言板 : Cafe SETI : Social Security is not going broke. (消息 72053) 发表于：20 Jan 2005 作者： Stephen Macy Post: Unless you are disabled, you can not draw on social security until you are 62 and then at 75% of what you would draw if you wait until 65. An age adjustment and a small increase to the limit on taxable income would solve the problem, but the rich don't want to pay more, so that won't happen. After the great depression, the republicans lost control of congress. They fought tooth and nail against FDRs programs to put Americans back to work. Namely the WPA, the CCC, and Social Security. They were social programs and republicans have never met a social program that they liked. Investment houses have wanted, ever since social security started, to get their hands on the money. This is the main reason for the changes that Bush is trying make, not to save social security, but to phase it out and help the rich make more money by getting more people to invest. This will also bring the Con Artists out in droves offering all kinds of investments designed to part you from your retirement. Remember "A fool and his money are soon parted", con artists depend on that.

Addis Abba and Asmara, Ethiopia Terhan, Iran Incirlik, Turkey Negev desert, Jordan Beruit, Lebenon Athens and Thessoniki, Greese Pisa, Italy Frankfort, Neurnberg, Bonn and Ramstien, Germany Madrid, Rota and Zaragosa, Spain Greenham Common AB Newbury, England Oslo, Norway The Azores Reyflavik, Iceland Thule, Greenland Goose Bay, Labrador Porta Rico Guamtomino, Cuba Fairbanks and Ankorage, Alaska Honolula, Hawaii Wake Island Guam Clark AB and Cubi Bay, Philippines Yokata AB, Japan Kadena AB, Okinawa Tageau AB, Korea Viet Nam, Saigon, Bein Thui, Camroon Bay and many forgotten places Thailand, Bangtok, NKP, many forgotten places First hitch was in the Army during Korean war. It ended before I went to Korea, but I did go to Japan. We sailed from New Orleans through the Panama Canal to the northern island of Hokkaido. There I was at Inewa, Chitose and Sapporo. Went over on the troop ship Gaffey and returned on the Morton to Seattle. We departed Japan in the tail end of a typhoon because the ship captain wanted to see a baseball game in Seattle. Everybody got seasick. I was ok until I was made to go below decks that night. Puke all over the place, including the water fountains. I was sick for three days. The mess cook gave me a dry biscuit and a sour pickle to cure the seasickness. !!It worked!!

119) 留言板 : SETI@home Science : Space probes feel cosmic tug of bizarre forces (消息 48130) 发表于：20 Nov 2004 作者： Stephen Macy Post: I think NASA should develop a new Pioneer space craft to investigate. It should be designed with maximum power for communication. Perhaps the Pluto mission could carry this out. The article also mentioned relativity as a possible cause. As the suns gravity decreases, time is effected.
