re: Thanks to Intel, a useful product--about 20 years too late dailynews.yahoo.com. Sorry kids, the Cold War is over. Kevin what are you talking about? You need to read the news before you make comments like that. North Korea allegedly threatened the U.S. the other day... dailynews.yahoo.com North Korea warned that U.S. charges of the existence of an underground nuclear facility in the Stalinist country was ''as good as a declaration of war.'' Those guys are gonna be shooting nukes at U.S. Satellites. Look up "North Korea" from biz.yahoo.com ... the situation is escalating...I think the U.S. will keep things under control...the U.S. military is pretty good

Kevin, a terrorist with a nuke would find it a lot easier to fire it straight up than to deliver it to a specific land target hundreds or thousands of miles away. A blast unshielded by the atmosphere would turn a huge number of $mega-million satellites into space junk. And a day without phone service or HBO is more than I care to ponder. I welcome Intel's initiative in radiation-hardened semis. Craig PS Shooting an object into space is a lot easier than putting a satellite into orbit. Any gunnery officer will tell you that a rocket capable of striking a land target "x" miles away will reach an altitude of more than 1/2 that distance if fired straight up.
