    Guys, the trick is to get it partially built and then cancel funding. Then scientists will never trust you to fund anything ever again, and you get to act like science is a waste of money while you’re spending ridiculous sums on fighter jets.

    Yes, I am still bitter about Waxahatchie.

          With all the development around Waxahachie, Midlothian, and Ennis, There’s a very good chance that many backyards are now built over the loop’s proposed path.

        It’s really sad as a clear landmark on the map of the US’s descent into scientific irrelevancy on the world stage.

        He’s a great video documentary about it by Bobby Broccoli if you want information and have two hours.

        “A US-Japanese trade mission where SSC funding was supposed to be discussed ended in the George H. W. Bush vomiting incident.” LOL

      I would have loved for the SSSC to have been built as well. It probably wouldn’t have found the highs boson till 2010 or maybe as early as 2009. The computer technology of the 90s would have severely limited the things ability to be understood. CERN creates GB of data per second. I can’t imagine what that thing would have done, and then we need to be able to process that much so we can filter out the noise.

      I was 12 when it was announced that they weren’t gonna finish buildt it, and even though I was just a kid in IN, something shattered for me that day. That was almost as bad as watching Challenger.

      I think we realized halfway through building that we couldn’t build bombs.

      That project put my dad out of business. Government gave him (part of) the contract, he did a bunch of work for years and then poof, project gone, not gonna pay you for it.
