It doesn't have the funding it needs to compete anymore. China, even India are outdoing us in space now. We even rely on Russia now.

Nasa is retooling for military applications like the unmanned x37. Sending astronauts into space is just too expensive and with everyone else suddenly investing more in the technology Nasa's preparing to police orbital space.
Yeah...the space program in the US is being privatized, really. Not a bad thing, either - they'll do it more efficiently than NASA itself ever did. Not to downplay NASA's achievements, but NASA can't even attract college grads anymore.
If it is found to be possible to mine elements on the moon...you might well see a US based company do it. But if the moon helps regulate the earth's oceans, what happens when we take away from of its mass? The moon already drifts away from the earth at a constant rate.

NASA has always been a PR arm of the Air Force. But, they do produce results and technology that trickles down into civilian life (like several military R&D projects).Nasa is retooling for military applications like the unmanned x37.
Sounds great but 1. Physicists will never believe that chemists can do what they can't. and 2. If there was anything to this, the inventor would be dead. There is no way the oil barons would let something like this out.
Where is the 10x energy output than possible by chemical reaction coming from?

The original cold fusion experiment was discovered to be using ambient energy from the environment. Basically an inefficient solar power collector. What we need is cheap solar power and energy storage solutions. Some already exist that are extremely worthwhile like solar hot water preheaters that can pay for themselves almost immediately, but when we get to solar power roofing shingles then you'll know we've finally arrived.
There is no cold fusion.
Also, a comment on another news site says Fox is claiming the buyer is none other than the US Navy. Can anyone confirm?
How convenient that
Maybe he should get it patented, like anyone else would if this was legit.
Unless or until I read otherwise, cold fusion is an impossibility and experiments that purport to show otherwise are a hoax. I'd like to be wrong about this because it would be way cool if it worked. But color me extremely skeptical.
The earth is flat
There is no such thing as a virus
Just because we think something is impossible, does not make it fact.
Yeah our push for solar here has been absolutely retarded. It should have started like it did in China, getting everyone to switch to a hot water preheater or water heater. They're so fucking cheap it's ridiculous. My father and I are looking to make one. We're talking about making a solar thermal steam generator(or at least trying) for shits and giggles as well.
Rossi is full of shit. There is no cold fusion. His device is a scam. MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for falling "victim" to this scam as well. The reporter covering that story is stupid for falling for it, else an unethical piece of shit pretending this is a real story simply to gain views from people who know it's a scam.
Yeah I agree with you about the MSN piece. I was kind of surprised to see this much credence given to an obvious sham in a mainstream outlet, but then again, maybe I shouldn't be.
