More naked aggression from that cowboy Bush.
My first thought when I saw this.
Is there a "white stain" on Galilieo?
"Women and minorities impacted most."
Oh and Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.
This is tin foil gold!
The theory is, this project
creates "Lucifer!"
Plutonium fuel
on Galileo reacts
to the high pressure,
and like a small match
starting a big forest fire,
ignites Jupiter!
This was hinted at
in Clark's pop novel, of course.
Bang! A new, small sun...
The kind that make yogurt?
"Welcome to the planet Dannon, young Skywalker."
Hard to imagine an implosion-type scenario being likely. One of the big problems the Manhattan Project had to overcome when working on the plutonium implosion weapon was predetonation of the reacting mass. Even if the implosion process was very precise and very rapid, but not rapid enough, partial reaction of the imploding sphere would cause an outward pressure which disrupts the implosion, causing a "fizzle". In a gradual process of increasing pressure, which is what you would have if you have a chunk of plutonium falling through a dense atmosphere, resulting in a gradual increase of pressure, even if there were symmetric inward pressure you'd reach a point where there was a partial fission reaction, which would expand the imploding mass and disrupt the collapse of other portions. There would be a kind of gradual eroding away of the mass until you had little left.
In his 1991 tome "Behold a Pale Horse", William Cooper warned that the US government was turning Jupiter into a second sun. Cooper predicted that Galileo, the NASA spacecraft orbiting Jupiter, would create an atomic chain reaction in the giant planet, effectively turning it into a small star.
How? In December 1999, Galileo will deliver a 49.7-pound load of plutonium used to power the craft into the heart of Jupiter. The end result will be a huge atomic reaction, and a newborn star that Cooper has dubbed Lucifer.
But why would the government do this? First, to stave off the coming ice age, and more importantly, to fulfill a Masonic ritual that is the final requirement for founding an Illuminastic New World Order. Apparently, many Illuminati high priests will be at the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza to witness this crowning event.
As bizarre as the scenario sounds, it isn't beyond the realm of possibility -- at least from a scientific standpoint. Arthur C. Clarke speculated upon this possibility in the novel 2010, a sequel to his Kubrick-adapted masterpiece. The book ends with Jupiter exploding precisely in this way, and being renamed Lucifer. (The film version deleted this Satanic rechristening.)
