 Its a serious question Jack.....the energy needed to accelerate a 30000 ton 
object to .9999c is about 1 sec of the total output of our sun...huge...I 
have voice files of Friedman stating that the vast gap are not a problem....I 
would of like to hear his explanation.....it is possible, but very 
difficult...I can not see you problem over this.

An attitude?!  The above is an important question...and I post in skeptics to 
test the U.F.O hypothesis, whenever the outcome..

I thought I had handled the science area reasonably well.  In fact, I went 
through the past 350 messages and scanned for 'george' and 'advisor' and it 
seems I missed ONE request!   It was a long message ending with 'how 'bout it 
George'.  The second message was a response to this message.  If there was a 
help me George, I would of picked it up Jack....so I can not see a 
justification for your arguement.   I admit I do not completely read all the 
mail...I scan through the first page for a summary on a lot of these...  I 
can also see that this is all interwoven with the Friedman request and I am 
not particularly happy about you claims.
 JS> Now, if this criticizm hasn't ruffled your feathers too much, then
 JS> please be around when I need you. ;-) BTW, A lot of this scientific

I have already asked, we can not get it here...but I keep trying...
I would like it if people sent important and direct question DIRECTLY to 
me....then I would definitely not miss them...

 JS> skeptics.) ;-)

 JS> P.S. George, I've sent you a netmail through the gate. Let me know
 JS> if you get it OK.
 Yes, it made it....however your netmail address can 'not be found', so I can 
not reply.... 
 JS> ...And do you have an e-mail address? If so, send
 JS> it to me via my JUNO e-mail address: ufo1@juno.com
My free internet and e-mail is off for the summer break until late Feb...then 
I have one until next summer break...    what happen to your netmail address? 
(I would of sent this via it, as you could have)
Regards George
