Hitler was setting up Naziism and Britain was ruining the health of the inventor of jet engines. Actually he was still a fighter pilot in the RAF and only thinking of pressure engines as an high altitude apparatus. Something incomprehensible to his higher command who were of the pre enclosed cockpit era.

Here's something I found on the Wikipedia:
I should put this pieces in with another entry but I can't remember where I posted the article I wrote about meteorite trajectories.Not that that is important. I am sure you are all fartoo busy rushing off to peru se the article for clues about tides.Borne voyage:Reading that article there is an earlier paragraph that relates to our (or everybody else's, rather) concept of tidal theory. It blows it out of the water, to coin a faze.Just imagine 6 thousand million people who hate each other so much that the only time they talk about coming together in a spirit of bonhomie is Chrismass.Sick or what?If every star requires at least 9 planets in a solar system to empower it, then every solar system is capable of supporting life at its heart.In which case it is impossible that there is no life on other systems.In which case it is impossible that we have not made contact.In which case there is nothing alive out there but us.And we all want to kill people for their religion, race, politics, money or petty spite.Makes you think does it not? Am I wrong? Did you go to bed last night after wishing the world in general a very merry christmastide?And thousands of men, women and children are starving.Tell me the name of anyone on this planet that deserves your respect.Go on.Just one rich, powerful, clever or innocent man.We are a shabby lot aren't we!
