...same time, concern about the scope of President Saddam Hussein's nuclear program increased when U.N. officials disclosed that secret documents seized by an inspection team last month showed Iraq had produced small amounts of lithium-6, a chemical used only in hydrogen bombs. The substance was kept at the Al-Atheer weapons center 40 miles south of Baghdad, a facility virtually unscathed by the war. While a team of experts flew to Iraq to begin searching for evidence of a potential H-bomb, the U.N. Security Council drafted a resolution aimed at preventing Iraq from ever regaining a nuclear...

However, no one was willing to accept the Peace Prize for Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb and SDI supporter. The band played the theme from "Star Wars" instead...
...have come about, as far as anybody knows, if the universe was once dense, hot and small. The second is the fact that the universe is expanding. Calculating backward, one easily concludes that all the galaxies must have come from a single point. Finally there is the fact that hydrogen makes up 75% of the matter in the universe and helium nearly 25%. These elements can only be forged in a furnace as hot as the Big Bang, and the proportions correspond exactly to what the Big Bang model posits...
...idea behind Timberwind is simple. Just pump liquid hydrogen through a small nuclear reactor heated to several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. The liquid hydrogen is instantly converted to hydrogen gas, which then blasts out of a nozzle. The resulting thrust is two to three times as great as that generated in conventional rocket engines by the explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Much larger payloads could thus be lifted into orbit...
