This was brought up because of the tidal waves that occurred in Florida which meteorologists theorized may have been a meteor. My friend asked why didn't early warning pcik it up, and I argued that early warning could not pick it up. If it could, then why did the meteorologist have to theorize about the meteor and instead not have solid proof from SAC? -- I was contemplating Socrates' immortal words: "I drank what?" judson@watserv.ucr.edu ------------------------------ Date: 14 Aug 92 20:40:28 GMT From: "Allen W.

The cost of >production in the Saudi Arabia is less than $3/barrel. \So the price of oil depends not just on the ease of getting it, but also /the market, labor schemes, etc. Imagine how cheap shuttle launches would \be if the workers were paid comparably to Arabian oil workers. And $3.00 /per barrel still doesn't include x-port, refining, pollution (or pollution \control), etc. Sure, we'll continue designing and modelling, and finding /cheaper ways to do it. But oil is fundamentally limited. It will become \permanantly more expensive, possibly in our life-times. I think you are misinformed. Low pay isn't the difference between oil production in Saudi Arabia and here. In Saudi Arabia, it still flows out of the ground, from a couple thousand feet underground. No pumping needed. And the Saudis have cash reserves, and would use them to sell the oil at a loss until we reach the point where so much of our drilling equipment is sold overseas (and it's going, fast) that it would take us years and years to get production back up again in this country (while at the same time some of the less scrupulous OPEC countries would be nationalizing oil drilling equipment owned by American companies drilling in their country). American oil producers were required by law during the last oil crisis to undersell the foreign producers. This helped get rid of the last oil crisis, and the cash reserves of domestic producers. Most of those domestic producers no longer exist. No drilling is going on here. You people obviously don't want local production to be able to save you from the next oil crisis, since in the last 15 years you've not only let the local oil industry go to hell in a handbasket (_during_ a time period where saving it would have cut the cost of the S & L Bailout by over 50 % , since it was heavily fueled by collapsing real estate prices in the oil patch) but have also not built one new power plant. [Flame^2 mode on]: What in the name of God Above do you plan to do next time? Start selling daughters? [Flame^2 mode off] \I can see a pretty good argument against SPS, along the lines of "We are /not yet at the point where SPS would pay high, and, therefore, we'll never \be able to finance the start-up project". But I get the feeling that /this approach is not what I've seen here. It seems more along the lines \of "SPS will never be worth it." Maybe I'm mis-interpreting, but that's /what I see. SPS, like all alternative energy research in this country, and this country's oil industry, and nuclear industry, is dying of neglect and artificially low energy from a foreign country very much opposed to our way of life and existance as a free nation. All the blather about the takeover by "Japan Inc." is just a smokescreen, and also prob. meant to keep Japan and the US antagonistic towards each other. And the retard out-of-work car workers, Lee Iaccocca (or however it's spelled), and a million half-rate politicians and would be half- rate politicians (Ross Perot) eat it all up. Just think: how else do you keep the two most technologically adroit nations on the planet from teaming up and possibly inventing something else that might make all that goddamn tar Allah gave you to buy the infidels with totally worthless? If Japan has all the money, why do we always here about the Japanese Economic Menace? Perhaps this is something thought up by a real economic menace, to distract people?

For the time being... >Reference: > Dr. Donald W. Roberts Any reason the moon should be richer in 3He than the earth? The natural abundance of 3He is about 7ppm in regular 4He which is from trapped alpha decay in natural gas wells. I think the energy cost of gettting to the moon, mining the 3He and bringing it back would be more than you can get out of the 3He. The major (only) commercial source of 3He (~$90 US / liter STP federal research grant rates) is from nuclear weapons manufacture. If you have some tritium around all you have to do is sit on your thumbs and bingo 3He. Now that the arms race is over all the low temp physicists should start worrying about the availability of 3He.

Even at the poles, you could see it, because of atmospheric refraction. And I never saw the aurora from Alaska; I saw it from Arizona.

Yeah. Get 'em made into GIFs and get Peter Yee to stick 'em on the Ames archive. (Unless they are copyrighted, of course.) I know you can't scan them, but there must be somebody in Cleveland who can. Also, hang onto them and keep them in really good condition. In a nation gone insane for baseball cards, who knows what cosmonaut cards may be worth before the bubble bursts? In a similar vein: I have two Russian maps of the Moon ("/\YHA KAPTA"), one sheet 1:10,000,000 and nine sheets of 1:5,000,000. I would be willing to have them scanned in if there is anybody near Chicago interested in taking on the project. We would have to clear permission with the publishers, but that might not be too much trouble.
