For the research group.

I think it's better to do suggestions in the main thread but moving the discussions might not be a bad idea.

Dragon the nuclear weapons are of two types.Missiles and satellites that shoot X-rays and using germanium crystals to focus said rays.
Also kamikaze probes that carry dangerous chemical bombs.

FYI the satealites work like bombs. when you blow them up they don't exist anymore, beyond scrap. You need to blow up a nuke to get x-rays at that level. They need to be in large amounts if you wnted to use them often or heavily.

Also we can't really make nukes until we have nuclear fuel, ie. U238 or another possible fuel maybe but none come to mind. We would need to mine the unprocessed fuel. Process it which is energy intensive and takes years (at our tech level IRL) to get usable high yeild, military grade fuel (when using U238). By the way the most common process at the moment is this if anyone is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium I think we use ALVIS in real life.

Points at radioactive planet.
As for robot radiation protection, a powerfull magnetic field 'll do.

Or just lead.

Okay...
>Design several virii (plural of virus) in advance, in such way that immunity to one is vulnerability to others. release one as soon as the previous go ineficient.

>Quickly enhance outpost's living condition, with big "open" spaces with lotsa greenery.

>follow the others on put-some-plankton on Aries.

PS: 5 times ninja'd! goddamnit!

Its to help reduce clutter.
edit after ninja'd x4:
and ninjaing

To heavy and I'm not sure we have giant lead deposists.

I think the Algae management plan has enough failsafes, but i'll add this one.

Seems like we have a problem with the subnets.
Also I can't add the Failsafe. The maker of the collection post has to do that.

( A note on x-ray beams with high yield, they become less useful in extremely thick atmospheres especially those with humidity. Concerning focus, if you focused one it would be super accurate (like if you were to laser a specific person) and fatal. If you were to drop focus it becomes less fatal and less deadly the deeper in the atmosphere you go. If you were to attack a troop of soldiers on a mountain you could probably give them all cancer and a nasty sunburn where a person on the beach wouldn't feel a thing. x-rays are particularly effective at cutting through armor and severing electonics (missiles, aircraft, spacecraft). A formidible defence, weather conditions permitting.)

(Just another OOC note. We've had this technology to do this sort of stuff since the late seventies. The reason we don't tes or even consider stuff like this is it breaks two US laws, three UN treaties, and three UN S.A.L.T. agreements. I really don't know what to think about all of it)

(The fact that this kind of tech is available to us is both awesome and creepy)

(Even more interesting is the fact that this sort of thing was drawn up in the late seventies. Right now, 2012, the US military flys the single best fighter ever created called the F22 raptor. The F22 raptors schematics were drawn up in the late eighties and declassified (mostly) in the early 2000s. Who the hell knows what's in the works or already exists but can't be talked about? The aircraft that caused the Roswel scandal was also declssified in 08. Apparently it is a plane, shaped very oddly made out of titanium and, get this, can travel at 3Xs the speed of sound. Christ! The project was said to be abandoned because other projects showed more promise.)

The thing that caused the Roswell incident was  Project Mogul.

It was a heavily modified weather balloon, partly made by a toy factory and was designed to check if the Russians were testing nuclear weapons( That's where the secrecy came from).
They used the Aliens did it excuse several times for other experimental planes though.
Wikipedia link

Btw, the Blackbirds, build in 1964, could travel faster then 3 times the speed of sound.

My bad, I meant continued the Roswell incident. The thing was tested at Area 51 around the sam time (a couple of years after maybe). Crazy super planes isn't a good way to follow telling everyone that there aren't any aliens.

Well actually they rather wanted to let the people think those things were aliens. Prevents them from making up other theories that might be closer to reality.
