Physics reality is a tough taskmaster, as are economic realities.<br /><br />Still it is encouraging that other companies remain in business continuing research. There still is a lot of research required, but in several decades it may indeed work. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

The reported shut down may be false. I just posted a blog about terriforming a portion of Venus on their excellent forum and read the two most recent reports by Dunbar. Liftport is concerned about a possible law suit connected with a CNT furnace that a subcontractor has decided to default on their contract, but I see little indication that www.liftport.com will shut down.
