Title: OK, I\'ll be there in less than two hours.
Post by: videoholic on July 02, 2003, 09:52:37 AM

OK, now what do you think about this.  A hypersonic jet that can deliver a payload anywhere in the world in less than 2 hours.  Needed?  Well I dunno. Why would you need to drop a bomb on a city real fast if you don\'t have any support going in right afterwards.

"This capability would free the US military from reliance on forward basing to enable it to react promptly and decisively to destabilising or threatening actions by hostile countries and terrorist organisations."

amazing this went from a project for civilian use to dropping bombs, but still cool technology nonetheless.
but didnt the test firing of the jet engine fail?

New technologies and improvements are always welcomed. Just think that you would be able to receive an organ from a japanese guy in less than 2 hours. Amazing.

Why would I want an organ of a japanese guy? I can\'t play ANY musical instruments.

:D

It may happen that if you have an accident and loose your liver, only 30 or 40 persons in the world would be able to donate that organ to you. But it also happens that all that people don\'t die at once. Figure out that there is an organ 100% compatible 40,000 kms away from you, and your body cannot live very much without it... you will like that organ can flight at match 5, believe me.

(PD: I know people that have died because organs didn\'t arrived at time)
