For all those UFO buffs. Those who don't believe, please keep your peace.

Have you ever noticed most if not all of the news reports on UFOs involved only flying saucers? This is contrary to what is in the movies these days, which dwells on stories of interstella or intergalactic spacecrafts.

The logic is that if there are a number of extra terrestrial civilisations out there, then there should be different types of spacecrafts, just like what is propogated in the movies.

Do you believe there is something special about flying saucers? Why is it most extra terrestrials used flying saucers and not other types of spacecrafts?

Ok, so single phase to ground is easy. Phase to phase on a 120º phase shift system is V x square root of 3. What about three phase?

This seems hopeful: http://www.energycooperation.org/bioproductionH2.htm

I'm looking for an entire method, a protocol to extract the bacteria, use them efficiently, store the hydrogen, and also burn it efficiently to produce my own power in a small apartment with not much space. Thanks for your ideas on this.

Bit of an odd question. But i think britain as a land mass is too small. Its the 7th largest island in the world approxiametly buts its too small in my opinion esp. for the size of the population.

One proposal I have is to fill in the 'Wash' near east anglia. It is a inlet of land that is about half the size of greater london. The land would be flat and boring but it would give us some great arable land for crops and so much needed land for housing to relieve the housing problem in this country.

as a woman i understand that it can be kind of difficult to get into a carreer that is male dominated but i like the challenge. I am interested to go to a good college such as cornell university or carnegie mellon and would like to know if anyone has any advice to give me.
the type of engineering that i would like to get into is structural. I've always like to know how things are put together and why it is in that way.
i greatly appreciate any type of advice and comments
thank you

With the new design of the CEV going back to "Safe and Proven" applo designs of capsule launch and landing, what technological benefit does this have? The shuttle pushed the boundaries of aircraft design and computer arcitecture and had many trickle down effects on devices we use in every day society. The new CEV will have none of these benefits but will launch more often. Where should the balance be, with the design and implementation of the craft or with the discoveries it could make in space?
