Good post but, uh...I thought this measure was still on the black side..?
No..?
Well, I guess not now, eh?
Wow.
Use cesium-137 over enemy territory andkill 2 birds...
In before the poison contrails posts....
:)
Cesium reacts violently with water. So much so that just the moisture in the air is enough to make it react . Needless to say it’s not found in its elemental state naturally .
I have used cesium formate drilling fluid one time in an uneconomic effort to prevent formation damage. It was the same price per barrel as unobtainum.
There were two rocket fuel plants built back in the 60s and I don’t think the fuel from either one was ever used. One was in Muskogee, Oklahoma and the other was near Neosho, Missouri. I know the fuel from the plant at Muskogee not used and the plant was torn down. Never did know the full plan, product or problems.
I still believe there was access to alien technology to build the SR-71. :)
Anyone remember a FLIT insecticide shortage 1955? Shell’s production of LF-1A was requisitioned.
A vice president at Northrup once told me that the plane (SR71) literally leaked fuel until up to speed and the frame and / or skin expanded.
Yep - and with Cesium, the on-board clocks would always be right....

There is a book about this and more called “Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed” by by Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos
Fascinating read!
Not to mention the X-37 is only the size of a small truck (which puts a severe limit on space available for surveillance gear) and KH-11 is the size of a bus (Misty we don’t know about).
