Good thing they corrected it to "speed of sound"... -----Original Message----- From: funsec-bounces () linuxbox org [mailto:funsec-bounces () linuxbox org] On Behalf Of Gregory Hicks Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 8:52 AM To: funsec () linuxbox org Subject: [funsec] Talk about bullet proof security Saw this note on news.com.com regarding the scramjet. http://news.com.com/2300-11397_3-6054956-2.html?tag=ne.gall.pg Scramjets, short for supersonic combustion ramjets, will hopefully be able to launch satellites more cheaply or take passengers from London to Sydney in about two hours. The test engines need a rocket boost as they will not ignite until reaching a speed of Mach 5 or five times the speed of light. The engine sucks oxygen from the atmosphere to burn its hyrdrogen fuel. Scramjet engines are expected to be ready for commercial use in about 10 years. Credit: The University of Queensland Andromeda, here we come! Or... Talk about a kinetic weapon! The security tie-in is, of course, that the University of Queensland has developed a trans-light engine that works on oxygen from the atmosphere without hints of it leaking to the 'press'. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely learn a great deal today. "A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have for lunch.
