Actually,  memory is the second thing to go :-)

So henry.  if we were interested in deep space cruisers,  what sort of
time scale, R&D Budget and technical problems stand in the way?

Are we looking at some sort of Manhattan project? or something as big for
20 years? or is it more like SDI on a permanent basis.a

You mentioned about something the size of hanford,  but for how long.?

thanks
