Blow for obumma as key lawmakers come out against iran deal

omegalogos,

In all consideration and with respect to your interest in advanced and exotic propulsion systems .... I hope the people making decisions don't get side tracked on what may be, but isn't yet, and has no real threat to anyone today (literally...in the next 24 hours...no emdrive can kill me ...but other weapons sitting on go and active alert right now..CAN).

The bad part is..lets say, in theory, they did create an Emdrive warhead for a kinetic strike back onto earth with the orbital loop we've discussed. What is that for? The ultimate 'screw you all'? 

If war breaks out in the Middle East for REAL...an Em warhead will likely work like you've noted for the swing out into space and back to whammy us ...but it'll be just in time for the few pathetic survivors of the VERY SHORT World War III to look up and say 'what the hell now?!'. 

I guess..at the moment..I'm more concerned with active, deployed and real technologies people in the world fully intend to USE, and quite possibly in the near term future. That is what will change the world before other technologies are perfected, adapted and deployed in a viable form, IMO. 

Yes... Thorium would be a reasonable solution by all I know of it.

India would need to stop having it stolen right out of their open air mines like it's a free day at Kmart...but if we can get a handle on Thorium supplies? It sounds like an outstanding way of sucking what is left from Nuke fuel and transforming it into fuel with a more focused and constructive use!
