Got to be more than that (Score: 1)

Very interesting article. I remember reading about it earlier, maybe even on this site? Can't remember. I don't know what they were doing up there, but "making the Chinese worry" sounds to me like a load of horse shit. Stress-testing some new technology, at a minimum, I dunno, but there are cheaper ways to make China worry than that.

Considering how badly NASA has been eviscerated (reduced to begging for rides from the Russians, oops) it's good to know there's still some research, experimentation, and scientific progress being made somewhere, even if the initial beneficiary will probably just be the military as usual.
