The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Technos: Airships: US Air Force deployment

Another twitter-like post viz airships. Thanks to my brother for this link.

And here is the comment I made:

I have to say, having been in air defense artillery in the US Army, that hitting a stationary airborne target is trivial--all you need is a missile with enough thrust to make it to the correct altitude. I don't see the airship lasting very long on station.

--unless the existing air defense coverage is going to be beefed up.
