How long are they stay on this Omar Hurricane BS? So he put 3 months of work in to go from 0.1% of predicted (Lindl) yield to 1% of predicted yield. And this break even stuff in nonsense. They're putting in 2,000,000 Joules of energy and getting out 20,000. And nothing's changed for over two years. They're stuck at 20,000 Joules. In addition to this, there's no value in these experiments anymore. The scientific community doesn't really care about the "tent" or "mix" or what a diamond ablator might do. Sorry, maybe Rochester Omega does but they're cranks.

NIF really is just like climbing up Mt Everest, you pay some company a 150k to fly you out to Nepal, have them hire a bunch of Sherpas to haul you ass up, watch a few people die along the way, and success is that you can claim to be 4001 person to have achieved ignition...er to have summited Mt Everest. Hell if that analogy does not convince you that NIF is on track and deserves more money I don't know what will.

That explains everything, he was holding a giant gold trophy, thanking all his sponsors, and saying what a great season it has been. Maybe Jas should switch to the Formula 1 circuit.
How do you see that?
Yes they did

Incorrect
>The LANL weapons in the stockpile are really copies of LLNL designs. Futtucine and DJ Jazzy >Smith can talk all they want but that's the truth.
No it is not.
Wow you are really efed up.
Funny, do you think there are the "ten commandments" of ICF waiting to be discovered ?

There is no going back now, we ride this train until they shut us down, 5, 10 or 15 years, that is enough to get us to a very rich retirement. What is the alternative? say we are wrong!?,...where would that get us, we cannot get real jobs, we have no skills, no knowledge, no abilities, there is is no where else for us to go. We must stay, stand, bear it and say it will work over and over again until the very end. God can only give us the strength to keep this lie up until the plug is pulled and the life support machine is shut off for good. Life is a gamble but if we stay steady we can still walk away from the table with some spending money, free drinks, and maybe even a happy ending. This is what we all really want when it comes down to it, keep the dream alive, NIF can work, NIF will work, BELIEVE the dream, LIVE the dream...at least for for a few more years.
"do you believe that the Ten Commandants of ICF are waiting to be discovered ?"
NIF was built on this belief.
