The US spent 25 billions in the 70`s to 80`s on this project (star wars program), and now that we hear talks for the Nuclear shield, I wonder if it means that the project has revived, knowing that it was expected to cost 1 trillionUSD to make it works... Read the following about this project:

Project Excalibur was a United States government nuclear weapons research program. Conceived by Edward Teller, the concept involved packing large numbers of expendable x-ray lasers into a nuclear bomb. When it detonated, the bomb would fire laser beams in many directions. The intention was to shoot down enemy nuclear missiles.

The plan was to place the whole apparatus on a satellite in orbit. It would have actually required many satellites in orbit, since there needed to be at least one between the US an its enemies when a massive launch of ICBMs occurred. The Soviet Union was the only foe technologically able to accomplish a massive simultaneous launch.

The x-ray laser gain media would be pumped by the extremely high density of high energy photons that appear in the first nano-seconds of a nuclear detonation. During these nano-seconds, the photon density is nearly as high as in regular matter. The calculations showed that the extremely high gain and high energy pulse discharge from the lasers would occur before the detonation destroyed the lasers and the rest of the satellite. If the lasers had be pre-aligned to point at the missiles, then a large number of the missiles could be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The project was proposed as a solution to the vexing problem: if a large nearly simultaneous launch of ICBMs occurred, the Space Based Laser could not destroy them all, since it was designed to fire upon one at a time. It was also felt that the large optics of the SBL could not be re-positioned to point from one missile to the next quickly enough. A considerable amount of research went into rapidly re-targeting the Space Based Laser so that many missiles could be destroyed in time to deal with the massive attack. However, it remained out of reach, giving rise to the Excalibur approach, which was viewed as something of a desperate approach even by those who worked on the project.

The project was abandoned in the 1980s when it was determined to be out of reach of current technology. Since then, its main influence has been its appearances in science fiction. Research was redirected to laser satellites and kinetic weapons under the Strategic Defense Initiative.

My 2 year old has very strange sleep patterns. I've really tried everything I can think of.
The staying up until 4 a.m. just started this last week or two but she can easly stay up until midnight or 1.
I will sometimes deprive myself of sleep and wake up early on the mornings after she's pulled an all-nighter just to wake her up early. However, she can outlast me anyday.
Let's say she stays up until 1 a.m. (very regular occurance). I will then wake up at 7 or 8 the next morning and wake her up at that time as well. By about 2 in the afternoon she is VERY tired and by 3 or 4 she is almost unbearable to be around. But still...no sleeping.
She will easily fall asleep right around dinner time (6 p.m.) but only to wake up at 9 or 10...then she's ready for another all-nighter!
We have a regular nightly routine with bath and some books. Does anyone else have any more ideas on how to get her to sleep on a more regular schedule. I have 3 other girls but they never had sleep issues.

I have never cooked with fresh mushrooms. Always used the canned. Now I'm venturing out and have collected several recipes using them but none tell me how to prepare them for cooking. Do I need to do anything special to them before adding them to my recipe? Like a special cleaning method?

don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to touch people. And I don't mean in only inappropriate ways, I mean at ALL! Even if they're my best friend or the girl I really like, I just can't touch them even in a friendly, "Hi, how ya goin'?" type of way. How would I go about getting over this "phobia", if that's what it is? Oh, and I'm a 17 year-old guy.

By the way, I did not grow up in a non-hugging family. I hug my mom and dad pretty much every night. It's just my siblings and I that don't hug.

Please don't tell me that it's okay and that some people just aren't huggers. I WANT to hug and touch. I feel so left out. A lot of people I see and friends I have high-five, pat each other on the back, and other friendly things that almost scare me that I'm unable to make myself do them. And these are boys and girls being friends, not just one gender.

Pope Benedict Ratzinger...... Here is my opinion.... They want to go back to the latin services as they don't want people to read scriptures or interpret them..because the priests don't want people to know the truth. Benedict is a great name for the guy as he is a trader of the true Christian faith, as he trades truth for deception. For all Catholic's that don't read scriptures, I feel sorry for u, as u can't think for yourselves and let other's dictate and interpret for u. Catholic priests are control freaks. What's your opinion?

I believe that if you live in America you should speak English. I wrote to my senator and this is his response:
Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 769, the National Language Act of 2007. I appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts with me. The National Language Act of 2007 would establish English as the official language of the United States of America. This legislation would prohibit the use of languages other than English for official purposes other than religious activities and foreign language classes.
I am working in Congress to bring people together and not to divide our society. It is a fundamental value of our society that we respect and appreciate the diversity of American Society. While I strongly favor those who wish to become citizens learning American English, creating a national language would create a larger divide between English-speaking and non-English-speaking citizens. We must ensure that everyone in this country is afforded equal opportunity

I know there are different body types and it all depends on how she carries it, but in general what is she more likely to be? I'm just not a good judge of weight things. Also, should I take into account that she's probably dropped her weight 10-15 lbs from what it really is?
