They have already tried it once and it blew up.....maybe they will have better luck this time?? Could you imagine being an engineer watching that sucker blow up knowing all the hard work you did is up in smoke? OUCH!!

Hah, same article I did my current event on for world history. It will be very interesting to see the outcome of this, and isn't it going to happen tomorrow?

PHLAK · 26-March-04, 09:54 PM

I heard another show talking about this and said in the future if we are able to fly this with humans it would take us from New York to LA in 120 min.
Thats F'n Fast......could you image a simulation of that were you could stand by it and have it pass you and then like several seconds later have the sound hit you that stuff is wild...

LOL you wouldnt be standing anywhere if it passed you

PHLAK · 26-March-04, 10:20 PM

No No No.....I know that!! I don't think that they could find the pieces of you after it passed by you after that!! That is why I said SIMULATION...like virtual...it would be wild I tell you.

Edit: Sorry for not explaining myself better...if you have ready my other post and threads you will see that I don't explain things real well...I just assume to much that the reader knows what the hell I am trying to say...!!

pfft, I am the Master of Old Skool not just with PC's but with my 1975 Schwinn Traveler you will be sayin' bye bye to my blingin' 27" rims, Shimano 400 drivetrain and my pimp dice valve caps when I fly past you at like 50 mph

ph33rs decog's climbing prowess for j-dogg does not know these hills he speaks of because he has lived in eastern central Florida his whole life where the biggest change in elevation is like 10 feet

j-dogg · 27-March-04, 08:06 AM

*silence* You have a Le Tour? That's about the same year as my Traveler, if I remember correctly the chain of command in the men's road bikes for 1975 was Le Tour, Traveler, Paramount, with Paramount at the top. Let's not forget the Varsity eaither that was a classic. i want a Paramount almost as bad as that Voodoo 6000
