Jon, <...produce a working advanced propulsion space drive
based on fission, fusion, or antimatter physics. Our elected representatives and
the leaders of NASA should move in concert immediately to put these drives in
NASA's budget with a fixed schedule to build, test and perfect them.

We need a lunge forward in space to secure its riches. If, in a decade, we can
get our first advanced propulsion drive, however small, booming around space,
I believe there will be no holding Americans back from truly conquering this
enormously rich frontier. This Rocket Boy says, "Let's go!"
>

Tsk, tsk, they might as well save their breath. Too much Boom, Boom, Roarr. All they need is my patented Graviton Spin Reversal system, then they can just quietly lift off, no muss, no fuss. No huge forces generated to rend the gravitational fields asunder.

If they insist on a bigger bang, fission and fusion will be fun, though staring up the tailpipe of an airborne nuclear reactor might give some nearby residents the heebie jeebies.

Think Zen, not Bang, Bang! Think harmony, not conflict.

Surely Rocket Boy is kidding? Is this American humour?

Maurice

PS: He obviously hasn't heard of the concept that riches are in our minds. The old hunter gatherer idea of finding riches is a bit passe. Sure, some errant Big Mac munchers have had a go at torturing a whale [perhaps JJ, which was rescued further down the Californian coast which would be a joke] in an atavistic attempt to recapture some past glories fantasized by those superstitious and stupid "Native" Americans.

Booming around the solar system picking up gold nuggets in a nuclear powered chariot is as sensible as chasing Grey Whales in a canoe and stabbing them with bits of iron. Let's hope Native Americans are an endangered species.
