Yes, but can they build it on time and on budget? That's a joke, eh.

Still waiting on viable fusion.  It's gonna take several years to get there, but it'll beat the pants off the vast majority of the proposals identified on this thread.

Sigh Someone please tell me the project manager on Sirkorsky's side has been canned by now. Unforgivable.

It's a good thing I live in paradise, or I'd be just as pissed as the rest of you waiting peeps.

Is that the sort of technical cross country riding that makes you drool, or the flat, smooth, single track that you could take your grandmother on?

What's really depressing is how many honorary science degrees this guy has been given.

As someone who went to an extremely left-leaning Canadian university while it grappled with its own identity when it came to accepting or disowning the Canadian Forces, I must say that this argument brings back a myriad of palm-to-face moments. I suppose some things will never change, but to...

And yet Ontario's premier has already urged the Conservative Government to institute quid pro quo 'Buy Canadian' legislation in retaliation for the American protectionist moves.  Of course Harper would never do such a thing, but a province so dependent on manufacturing goods for the US was bound...

Sigh that's what I thought.

Greenwood reminds me in some strange way to Masset.  Most important question I would have about Greenwood is this: how's the mountain biking?

thanks CDN Aviator.  I had a rough idea of what's involved when it comes to types of missions and so forth, but I wanted to know how repetitious/mundane/stagnant the job got.  I think you assuaged my concerns very well. Truth is I'm sort of torn these days about what to do with my future.  I...

I completely agree: the US is - and will continue to be - an economic juggernaut for some time.  Our future is clearly linked to theirs.  I was just reminiscing of my international business courses and how all of the professors called Canada's International Business strategy a farce.  We do...

Sorry for necroposting gentlemen, but I'd like to get someone who serves on an aurora to tell me what your typical patrol feels like (any aircrew trade will do).  I'm not looking for anything that would violate your security.  I just want to know what it's like.  Do you sit there for hours on...

Alright, say we harmonise our customs procedures with the US.  How will that make Canada any more relevant than it already is on the economic world stage?  I fear our problem is that we already are a one pony show: we supply the Americans and that's about it.  With American influence waning with...

How does one go about integrating the United States and Canada when the US is primarily a service-based economy and Canada is primarily a resource-based economy.  Does no one else see a problem with that?

Too Xenaphobic for my blood.

Yar, it's just a geometric time-phased phenomenon.

Brasidas, you are absolutely correct; the phase velocity of light can sometimes exceed the speed of light, but this in no way allows any form of superluminal motion or energy transfer (think information) to occur/transmit faster than the physical speed of light in vaccuum.  Until somebody comes...

Hrmmm I've seen dozens of articles like this over the years, and each and every one of them confuses the phase velocity of light with the group velocity of light. It's technically "faster" than the speed of light, but no, you still can't propagate information faster than c.  This experiment was...

I think we can both agree that hydocarbon energy density is ludicrously low compared to nuclear fusion.  Even if you had to distribute that energy via some sort of cell system, it would still prove to be a more sustainable approach.  That said, it's gonna be a bitch to find a cycle of reactions...
