  Not at all! With nanomachines to keep you healthy, sub light speeds
will get the patient anywhere they want to go.  I am planning a party
to celebrate the complete exploration of the galaxy in about 200,000
years.  (I expect at least 50 trilion to show up).  Keith Henson

Subject: LDEF experiments

With all the talk about LDEF, no that it is back, could someone post a list
of the experiments it carried?  I know they are in the process of studying
the LDEF right now, and I would be real interested to find out how all
those '1 year' experiments lasted all this time..

I guess they don't want NASA to be able to figure out what orbit they went to.
