I am relatively new here.

I missed the part where radiation DID turn out to cause metal
fatigue...

[BTW: What is radiation's effect on carbon nanotube fiber?]

I also missed the part where the O'Neill group's engineering re

was so flawed that it had to be trashed.

Can somebody bring me [& other lurkers]up to date?
