ArcLight Returns!
2010-07-13
ArcLight
Program Manager: Dr. Thomas Bussing


The ArcLight program will design, build, and flight test a long range (> 2,000 nm) vehicle that carries a 100-200 lb payload(s). ArcLight is based on an SM-3 Block II booster stack, a hypersonic glider and is capable of being launched from a Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) tube. The development of the ArcLight system will enable high speed, long range weapons capable of engaging time critical targets and can be launched from Naval surface and sub-surface assets, and Naval/Air Force air assets.
LCTF. Now bring back the Arsenal ship.

#13  I knew a guy sent to do a ground survey in Vietnam after an ArcLight mission. He described what had been dense jungle that was now a field of craters, with not so much as a blade of grass. Some crater might have some water, another might have a larger than usual rock.

#11   Am I being a "corrupting" influence?

You are such a gentleman that I find the thought inconceivable, Old Patriot. You can see some of the troll's vomitus from last night in the Sinktrap, if you can figure out how to make it go back in time -- not very different than what he posted this morning. Had he any redeeming value I would have left him as a chew toy, but he didn't.

#10  It ain't ARCLIGHT unless it includes several large, manned bombers dropping 80,000-100,000 pounds of iron bombs on a single target.

Wow, TW, you really put THAT dweeb in his place. Am I being a "corrupting" influence?

#9  Joe's posts look a little intimidating but if you take the time to parse through them you can find some good links. I guess that would be asking too much of an adolescent goat boinker.

#8  Crappy speller and grammar. Either a transplant or a child who is in the process of being indoctrinated. Either way, I sort of wonder what the local muslim community would have to say about his comments.

#5  "What is it about Los Angeles that produces so many dribbling idiots?"

Doubtless it's the reproductive efforts of the previous generation of dribbling idiots. Too stupid to do anything but boink...

#4  Stupid troll #2, why do you obsess so, on a site that has no readers? You've been spewing boringly unimaginative filth since last night. What is it about Los Angeles that produces so many dribbling idiots? Enjoy being banned by a mommy -- you aren't even clever enough to be a chew toy.
