China's Drone Program Just Keeps Getting Better*Michael Peck* *Drones, * China's drone program hasn't been nearly as conspicuous as America's.

"This does not occur in nature!"
A comment to yesterday's article about the M16 rifle reminded me of a funny - but true - story from the 1970's in South Africa. I was told this by a friend who was an engineer at BMW South Africa. BMW was about to introduce its new 7 Series luxury cars. South Africa was to assemble them for the right-hand-drive market. As part of pre-production testing, and to allow local engineers to plan ahead, two of the new 7 Series prototypes were sent to South Africa to be wrung out on local roads. In due course a detailed report was sent back to Germany, giving local impressions of t... read more

Peter Schattschneider, who explored the concept in Crafting the Bussard Ramjet last February, has just published an SF novel of his own called The EXODUS Incident (Springer, 2021), where the Bussard concept plays a key role.
