Scott - 20 Jan 2007 02:16 GMT How about those Chinese Communists and their SDI, eh?
Shooting satellites out of orbit with missiles we sold/taught them to build.
Comments welcome.

As for Scott's comment, he might want to check out the tightness of export restrictions to China. It's much easier for someone here to ship advanced technology to Hanoi than it is to Bejing (btw, the ease of shipping stuff to communist Vietnam is with the explicit blessing of the Bush State Department). The Chinese didn't do anything with missles we sold them or taught them how to build. They hit a satellite they'd put up quite some time ago with a missile they developed themselves, most likely based on Russian core technology (Russia hit a satellite with a missile quite some time ago). It might be hard for his Archie Bunker mind to accept, but there are clever people of other races and in other countries that are as capable of the same technological feats as we are.
The reality is that we don't have near the technological advantage some here think we have. We do lead the world in a number of areas, but it's not in every field and it's not always by a large margin.

Update this page then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite they seem to give credit to Sputnik. Jules verne wrote a book about the unintended effect firing an enormous cannon and launching the shell into orbit. Think that's a practical design?
Otherwise, if you want to give credit to who may've thought of the idea of a man-made satellite, you'll have ot go back further to Newton. He, too, used artillery. Not really practical. http://books.nap.edu/html/oneuniverse/motion_48-49.html
> > Transistors and integrated circuits were invented by folks in the US. > First transistor patents were German http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor#History There is no evidence that the the German transistors were ever built. On 16 December 1947 William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain succeeded in building the first practical point-contact transistor at Bell Labs.
> IC concept is British http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit#History.2C_origins.2C_and_generations The integrated circuit was first conceived by a radar scientist, Geoffrey W.A. Dummer (born 1909), working for the Royal Radar Establishment of the British Ministry of Defence, and published in Washington, D.C. on May 7, 1952. Dummer unsuccessfully attempted to build such a circuit in 1956.
A precursor idea to the IC was to create small ceramic squares (wafers), each one containing a single miniaturized component. Components could then be integrated and wired into a bidimentional or tridimentional compact grid. This idea, which looked very promising in 1957, was proposed to the US Army by Jack Kilby, and led to the short-lived Micromodule Program (similar to 1951's Project Tinkertoy). [1] However, as the project was gaining momentum, Kilby came up with a new, revolutionary design: the IC.
Generally, credit in engieering goes to the chap who actually blds the device.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Edgar_Lilienfeld Among other things, he invented the transistor and the electrolytic capacitor in the 1920s. He filed several patents describing the construction and operation of transistors. Although the devices described in his patents should theoretically work, there is no evidence that they actually did. Despite that, the patents describe many features of modern transistors. When the inventors of the first practical transistor, Brattain, Bardeen and Shockley tried to get a patent on their device, most of their claims were rejected due to the Lilienfeld patents.

Which says more about flaws in the USPTO than it does about the inventions. If you've ever developed something, you'd know that it's the details that make the difference between a clever idea and a working device. There are lots of patented, but unworkable ideas, and it's often the process of turning of a core idea into a working product where the most valuable patents are generated. History gives credit to those who succeed, not those who patent a grand idea they can't produce. While business practices today can give financial reward to people who patent things they never make, history (and society) remembers such people as parasites, not inventors (NTP vs. RIM comes to mind).
Although I do have to agree that Shockly, et. al., should have referenced Lilienfeld in their work.
> > > IC concept is British > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > exactly what I said - IC concept is British Not exactly. Dummer's concept was more akin to a Hybrid microcircuit or a multi-chip module ( <http://www.teledynemicro.com/> for examples), and as stated, he couldn't even make that work.
Making interconnected, multiple active devices on a single piece of substrate is the definition of an integrated circuit. Kilby is credited with building the first integrated circuit, although many feel that Noyce's device, built on silicon and using junction isolation, is the true forerunner of today's integrated circuits.

And that is why TI and Fairchild had war over patents. IMHO Noyce design was much more mature.

Check your cite. There is even nice diagram. Incorrect. It was a thought experiment. Fired horizontally at the right speed, ignoring atmosheric drag, and it woud go into free fall. A satellite is in what around its primary? Free fall. Thus, Newton's cannonball was the first concept of a man-made satellite. But you don't see that, do you? :-)

It may well be, but I'd like to see something confirming that. My Russian friends have a habit of boasting that Russians made the first airplane, the first helicoptor, the first television, the first computer and pretty much the first of anything worthwhile. I admire their nationalism, if not their concept of reality, especially since proof of these accomplishments is usually "in secret Russian archives" that never seem to see the light of day.
But I expect that you wouldn't do that, would you? :-)
> > FYI satellites were invented by the Russians. > > FYI it was French (Verne) and BTW even Moon is a satellite http://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/
As far as I know, the first man-made satellite put into orbit was Sputnik I. Ideas and concepts are nice, but if ya can't make it real, it's called Science Fiction.
> > Transistors and integrated circuits were invented by folks in the US. > First transistor patents were German Perhaps, but the first BJTs were made in the US, and it was another few years before FETs could become a reality (and at which time the patents were worthless).
> IC concept is British Concepts are nice. Da Vinci had a lot of nice concepts that can't translate into anything real, even today. The first bits of real silicon, along with the patents to protect them, came from the US.
Since then, of course, every country that has semiconductor technology can stake claims to innovations and advancements. The US continues to lead the world at the very bleeding edge of this technology, but that translates into a pretty short term business lead, at best, and is close to meaningless when it comes to national defense.

Speaking of that, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between really, really advanced research and science fiction (aka, "total bullshit"). I've met some very convincing crackpots and some very understated geniuses.
> > > > Transistors and integrated circuits were invented by folks in the US. > > > First transistor patents were German [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > silicon? I thought that there were discussion about first transistor Sorry about that. Professional slang. We tend to refer to the first wafers of anything as "silicon" (mostly as a way to piss off the III-V guys :-).
Still, the first working devices came from the US.

I gather it's okay to make a quick buck by selling advanced technology to the Chinese because so many American (and European ) companies are doing exactly that so what are you whining about?
