Nz man building cruise missile

[NurEinMensch 0]

Dont worry about terrorists using home-made cruise missiles. What do they need cruise missiles for? They just stuff a car full with explosives and drive it to their intented target.

Cruise missiles are used in a more "symetric" conflict, not by terrorists.

As it has been stated, the cruise missile can only carry a 10kg warhead, indeed not much use for terrorists, except maybe for an assissnation mission. Could be interesting. Don't like your boss? Put a cruise missile through their bedroom window one night

Aeriously though, I don't think terrorists are going to gain anything of significance from this design. It would be like if someone started making a small one seater plane that could be built for a couple of thousand $ and the person posts instructions on how to build the craft they have designed from totally legal parts, and points out how a terrorist could fly a plane below radar coverage and crash into a building. Sure, like Sept. 11 proved, crashing a plane into a building can have a lot of effect, but not in a little tiny plane. You need to use something bigger, so maybe Al Queda starts making their own bigger plane. It's still a plane and they still use it to crash into a building, but the design is very diffrent and a lot more expensive than the design posted by the inventor.

Same goes for the cruise missile. You could use a DIY cruise missile for an attack, but for it to have any real large effect, you would need to use a large design and chances are, it would be designed quite differently than the design our New Zealand inventor is taking.

My point? Well, sure, someone could get the idea to make a cruise missile and use it for a terrorist attack, but I doubt they will have much luck using the design from the guys website. A book from Tom Clancy would probably be a better bet

Now I am absolutely serious about the following: The first man to fly was a german....and that exactly 3 months before the brothers wrights! There was a long long article about it in yesterdays newspaper and I will tell you the details later!

Well, you read it in the paper so it must be true!

This thread has been pretty funny, but put funnyness asidethere could be some big Sh*t come out of this, in 1995 (after the cold war) Nuclear war almost broke out becase a Finnish science team sent arocket in to the sky for an experiment about the northern lights (dont ask me how sending a rocket into the sky effects or tests anything about the northern lights)

Russian radars in the Kola penninsula picked this up andbelieved it was an American nuke coming from a sub. the research rocket then desintegrated in to three parts. russians believed then that it was an American Trident Nuclear Missile. The Russians then had all their Nukes preped and ready for launch, all then needed was one more person to say Launch and it would have been a Nuclear disaster.

If a cheychan rebel or Phsyco of some sort was to fire a DIY cruise missile into russia. The worl is Prety F*cked

No im gunna be the one getting sued after i go beat his @ss senseless because hes posting this on the internet maybe i will meet osama and hussein having a meeting with him too. beat all 3 of them.

don`t worry ill get u with a cruise misisile before u even come close

It would be interesting to stick one of the jet engines on a boat or hydrofoil

while we`re talking about who done what first im sure theres plenty of other examples in history where the original creator of something wasn`t infact the creator of it or even came up with the idea.

Im going with leonardo for the first flying machine

Stories like this are too funny that it's got to be true:

Quote[/b] ]'Explosive' rooster taunts cops

June 9, 2003

A POTENTIALLY explosive rooster had New Zealand police running around like headless chickens yesterday.

The bird, which had canisters with protruding wires strapped to its wings, was spotted by a member of the public in the Christchurch suburb of Sydenham during the morning.

Police decided to take no chances and herded the bird up an alleyway and called the army bomb disposal squad, Senior Sergeant Ian Freeman of Christchurch police said.

The chicken was put down, and the contents of the canisters strapped to the body were found to be harmless.

"He's gone to the big chookery in the sky, which is unfortunate for him, but we've got to sort these things out," Sgt Freeman said.

What was evidently a practical joke had swallowed up three hours of police time and led to the army being called out unnecessarily, he said.

"There's a funny side to the story, but the serious side is we've got to take all precautions," Sgt Freeman said.

Home-made cruise missiles, now suicide bombing poultry. LoL, New Zealand, what will you think up next...

I had plans to make a suicide bomber cow. I swear, I have drawings of how it would work. You know, New Zealand sounds like a cooky(crazy) place. My friend is moving there, he should fit in perfectly, being the idiot he is.

It can be a funny place, but a word of warning: Tell your friend to not f*ck with the armed offenders squad. If they think your up to some dodgy business, you'll find you door kicked in and a rifle in your face.

On to the subject of what us crazy New Zealandeds will come up with next, I think maybe a garage DIY space shuttle could be on the cards

Otto lillienthal? I thought he just made gliders

If I remember correctly you guys have more use for a DIY fighter force Do you still have an airforce outside p3's ?

Well err *cough* *cough* lets not go there alright?

I think we might still have some Armachi (or whatever it is, Italian) jet trainers and I know we still operate C-130s, but for the country that had the first 'power assisted flight', we're not exactly up there with flying machines. We were going to buy about 27 F-16s but that deal fell through.

Maybe we should be paying this inventor guy to make cruise missiles for the NZ Military so we still have some strike cabability

Kurtz, do you have videotape? I didn't think so. Until you do, a couple red-blooded American bicycle shop owners were the first in power-assisted flight.

I should come up with some dodgy video tape just for the sake to serve you wrong, but regardless, there is footage it seems.

Quote[/b] ]Ok, Re: Richard Pearsons first flight. The Smithsonian Museum in Washington and National Geographic agreed a few years back to Richard Pearse completing the first "Power Assisted Flight". The Wright Brothers keep the first Powered Flight. I just rangup my dad and asked him, cause he wrote a book about R.Pearse 10 years ago. It was actually witnessed, but the witness died during WW1 ( his Milk Boy and the guy that owned the farm next to him). It was also recorded on still film, which was analysed and deemed true. ( they worked out height from the shadows and speed from the blur etc...)

I think this says it all. Pearse was first, but to save American national pride he only gets the title of first 'powered assisted flight'

And lets leave it at that

I think this thread has done some good, it has given us New Zealanders a chance to show the world our patriotic propoganda.

On topic.... "I know nozink"
