    Any thoughts in relation to the splitting of the atom lo those many years ago, and where we stand today with Iran actively and openly seeking atomic weapons, North Korea playing “catch me if you can” with their nuclear ambitions and the “nuclear” state of the world? I enjoyed the post two years ago about WMD vs. Speed of Delivery. Wondering if you had something in your back pocket for today.

    Who Says Astronomy Isn’t Practical? (III)
    Who Says Astronomy Isn’t Practical? (IV)
    Optical Interferometers as Spy Satellites?
    That’ll do to go on.
