I remember a television programme shown
a few years ago where the US technicians who
were involved in designing and building the
original 'Star Wars I' were interviewed.
The interviewer asked the technicians:
"These new designs for space lasers,
mirrors in space and so on - do you think
if they had been deployed they would have
actually worked"?
The technicians, who had been quite serious
in answering the questions suddenly looked
at each other, one smacked his thigh then
both fell about laughing and
were unable to respond for a moment.
Then, after regaining his composure the
leading technician replied:
"No Sir"
Bill
