Is there a point to asking this, or is this just some sort of verbal masturbation on your part intended to waste everyone's time considering random stupid questions again?

Jon in Pasadena Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Then explain to me the point of his questions. Please. I really, really want to know what the !@#$ the point was of asking. Oh you know. If it wasn't for all those pinko anti-"Ronnie Ray-gun" haters in the 80's, we could have fully funded star wars. And now we'd be sitting pretty here in 2006 with Constitution-class heavy cruisers armed with photon torpedos that could take out those precision-guided taepodong2's before they crash into the ocean and scare the fish.

Orton's Arm Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Oh you know. If it wasn't for all those pinko anti-"Ronnie Ray-gun" haters in the 80's, we could have fully funded star wars.

I know many people like to ridicule military spending, especially forward-looking military spending such as SDI. So I'll remind you of another futuristic military project that involved preparing for nuclear war. The fear was that a Soviet nuclear attack could knock out our communications system. To prevent this, computers at various points were networked together. Because a hub-and-spoke system would be vulnerable to attack, a net patern was used. The resulting ARPANET was the beginning of the Internet. Maybe an SDI system would also have produced great, unforeseen benefits. We'll never know, because that particular project only received a little pocket change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we could have sent more of the taxpayers' money to this particular graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
