View, CA Lines: 20 Re: medin's posting Isn't there a news group specifically devoted to Star Wars? (net.movies.sw?) Let me propose that there is so much news on SDI, and that a lot of it is spilling into other newsgroups: net.politics, net.research, and it seems to all pervasive, that surely it belongs to a separate newsgroup. Since net.space is gatewayed to the ARPAnet, I am certain a similar group could be formed there, and it would give an excuse to put the SDI Office onto the ARPAnet where it could take criticism. NASA cannot take credit for this stuff as we are the civilian space agency, it's in our charter. The SDI people can share technical discussions, argue techniques, flame about feasibility. Here's a vote for net.sdi! From the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers: --eugene miya NASA Ames Research Center {hplabs,ihnp4,dual,hao,decwrl,allegra}!ames!aurora!eugene emiya@ames-vmsb.ARPA
