The skeptic in me says that it would have been really easy to suspend
the test vehicle by the three tether lines and then simply
invert/crop the photo to make it appear that they were holding it
down. On the other hand, assuming that this is for real:

1. Can it be "scaled-up" to lift meaningful payloads?

2. Could a scaled-up vehicle reach LEO?

3. Would the power requirements for the LEO capable vehicle be so
great that the design becomes impractical?

4. Would this work in deep space?

Steve, you have mistakenly sent this to me. Your comments are very good and
we are looking for skeptics like yourself. We intend to launch this solar
furnace into orbit and we need people that are not yes men. Please look this
over and let us know what you think. Thank you, Jerry Scovel.

Hi,

I have just changed the settings of this group in order to forbid messages
with attachments. Hereinafter, anyone willing to send files will have to
make them available at the files area of the group.

The message below has a size over 400K and it took some time to download
even in the fast connection that I am using right now. Besides, perhaps due
received it twice. I think that the time to download this using a dial-up
connection would be too long, and that's the justification for my decision.

Yours,

Lucio de Souza Coelho
Group Owner

You made the right decision. Although people just shouldn't send attachments
to mailing lists in the first place.

Those of us using web based mailers are also annoyed at it because they usually
have a quota. Large attachments tend to fill that quota up.

I was actually thinking about sending a flame about that message but decided I
couldn't be bothered making it look civil.

I'm sorry, I didn't know about your web based mailers, some of us actually
have the balls to use our real names and adresses. Your names and
organization have been deleted from our database. On a personal note people
with pc's that flame macs, lose.

How do I know you are using your real name? I mean how easy is it to create an
account on your ISP that has a different name to your real one?

With most ISPs it's trival.

Why would I want to be in your database anyway?

What is the relavance of that? Other then PC's being better then macs.
