"Do-it-yourself" Cruise Missile Designer Goes Freelance
Disclaimer to LBN mods: This item misses the 12hr deadline by a few hours. Please see this thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=120x19584) and exercise your own judgment. Thank you.



"Bruce Simpson of New Zealand, the designer of a homebrew cruise missile as reported here, has been left destitute by hastily-imposed restrictions of his national authorities, and is now offering his services to any non-terrorist willing to provide room, board, travel, expenses, and a negotiated rate. There is no question that cruise missile, UAV, bio-warfare, chemical weapons technology, and probably nuclear technologies will all continue to fall in cost significantly for the foreseeable future."

5. Do it your-selfers just built a ballistic missile
When you get right down to it, that's what the much ballyhooed SpaceShipOne was.

6. I did get kind of tired
hearing about that -- not because I don't care about space exploration, but because of all the NASA-bashing, pro-privatization, libertarian crap from the freepers and their ilk.
