There are several possibilities for the UV, Lou - and your hat is now in the ring along with Randy Mills and a few others. Cleary EUV and soft x-rays are involved. Clearly the values are not falling into the expected Rydberg levels. One value that stands out in this study is the 19.29 nm

Why escape velocity? Just orbital is good enough. A powerful ion propulsion can slowly add 4km/s to achieve that. 2013/11/5 Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com Terry Blanton hohlr...@gmail.com wrote: Did you say Mach 6? You heard the man. Mach 6. That's 4,567.2423 mph says Mr. Google.

I am familiar with characterizing the FOBS type vehicle. FOBS (*Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) *was a Soviet ICBM program in the 1960s that after launch would go into a low Earth orbit and would then de-orbit for an attack. It had no range limit and the orbital flight path would not reveal

Jones, I also wish that other spectral anomalies were observed - besides the broadband soft X-ray/EUV apparently due to hydrogen, but I believe that the 19.29 nm line is due to the oxidized cathode/anode surfaces - oxygen contamination. However, I think this is a good experiment to repeat with
