When NASA isn't busy shooting off rockets and stuff they are experimenting with new technology. Some of it finds it's way to defense and surviellance, and eventually some gets into consumer products. They no doubt have developed some weapons technologies of which even I cannot concieve, and I know enough technology that I can almost jokingly say that I could turn a fusion reactor into a plasma cannon with a screwdriver. Almost jokingly, but it would be a one time shot of course because I would be dead. Who do you think was working on SDI (star wars) technology a decade or two ago ? Of course they didn't throw all that data out in the trash. You used to see ads for products touting "space age" technology, NASA is pretty much where it came from, and it's not all electronics, rockets and computers. New materials and process', all kinds of things. And the secrecy is not always a mtter of national defense, sometimes it is commercial, that we did it first. Those who do things first are the ones who get the noariety, and many times a good piece of the profits. Suffice it to say that they are not just sitting there scratching their balls. T
