Foundation of US economy is domestic consumption. The current administration has significantly increased taxes - in the form of tariffs - on that consumption. So, the results are and are going to be as expected by any economy textbook. Addi

Not a full answer, just a minor comment. >We're not starting to inhabit new bodies of land for a long time now. Last century has been aviation - start of the expansion into the 3rd dimension - and later - space.

That is about my point - i want to get as far as possible from such a philosophy as it is taking over the civilization. I lived under similar philosophy in USSR and, as long as it is up to me, i'll be trying to put a distance in all se

Bussard would collect gas to be used as fuel. For ion thruster it is only a working mass.

alternatively you ionize that particle, may be make in into plasma by laser for ease of "digestion" down in the engine, direct in into the engine where it is used as working mass for your ion thruster, kind of similar to scramjet.

So, if 3.67% was enough for them (like for anybody else doing peaceful nuclear energy), why they have produced so much of 60%? Edit: judging by the answers the word "why" happened to be misunderstood in my question. I'll res

Of course Israel wouldn't be able to it on its own. I think the 3 US aircraft carrier fleets around will do the job.

That is why my bet is that no-fly zone is coming. It is already de-facto there, and just needs official announcement and commitment of resources.

GBU-57 reaches 200ft depth, Fordow is 300ft. The seismic wave of explosion at 200ft of several tons of TNT would reach 300ft with pretty damaging energy. And, if it weren't enough, you can always put a second bomb into the hole made b
