Well, considering we're still in a National Emergency, ever since
the 1930s, the DoD is obviously calling the shots....
The Chinese military, which intends to assimilate U.S., has no
such distinctions concerning a 'private sector'. This reality
will eventually drive this 'feared' merger, should North American
/Western democracy hope to survive Total assault.

This is a large .PDF book by CIA translators -- very important!!
Download it before they nuke it....

Subj: [EWAR] Space warz, anyone?
Well, it looks like the DoD is crossing over into the forbidden
zone, merging with a civilian agency and the entertainment
industry. Isn't this a blatant violation of a U.S. law? Alfred?
Bruce? Carol? Is this a covert step toward a Star Wars joint
venture? (See www.globenet.free-online.co.uk/index.htm)
And consider this curious quote at the end:
"I would warp people from different parts of the world into
that room, like a Star Trek holodeck environment that could
transport you anywhere. And then, talking in natural language,
you could literally do things in months that would otherwise
take you years."
.... like blow up the world? What happens when a ritalin-Quake-
crazed psycho hacker gets his hands on a cool tool like this?

Army, NASA Merger Urged
by Michael Stroud
3:00 a.m. 27.Jan.2000 PST
There's nothing like hard times to bring folks together.
Take, for example, NASA and the US Army.
NASA's botched missions to Mars have put it on Washington's
short list for budget cuts. And the Cold War has made Army
spending another prime target.
That's why the two are pooling their resources to improve
something they both do undeniably well: computer simulation.
Who, after all, but the Army can virtually fire a Howitzer?
And who but NASA can simulate a space station docking?
On Wednesday, the two government agencies announced plans to
jointly develop simulation technologies. They hope teamwork
will make the Army a lighter force and help NASA build the
International Space Station and launch future space missions.
"Some of our failures with the station and the [space] program
helped sell the [collaboration]," said Samuel Venneri, NASA's
chief technologist, in an interview. "People realized that we
are at a limit of our capabilities."
Neither the Army nor NASA disclosed financial details about
the relationship. The agreement follows on the heels of a
1999 announcement that the Army would fund an "Institute for
Creative Technologies," affiliated with the University of
Southern California, to explore common uses for simulation
technologies developed by both the entertainment industry
and the Army.
Announcement of the NASA partnership coincided with a
conference on the Army's Simulation and Modeling for
Acquisition, Requirements, and Training (SMART) program.
The collaboration provides a way for the Army to train its
troops to be combat-ready more cost-effectively and with less
risk, said Paul Hoeper, assistant secretary of the Army for
acquisitional logistics and technology. "Training is dangerous.
We need to make it more effective at all levels." Hoeper wants
Howitzer-firing simulators that look, sound, feel, and even
smell like the real thing.
While simulations are getting better, they're not good enough.
"If you have a very good imagination and withhold skepticism,
you can imagine that you're in the vehicle," Hoeper said. "We
need to work harder on the sense of balance, the passage of
time, some of the emotional issues soldiers feel when they're
really in combat. Years from now, you shouldn't be able to
tell the difference."
If that conjures up bizarre images of virtual wars fought by
virtual warriors, NASA's Venneri has an even more developed
view of the kind of simulation he hopes the partnership will
achieve.
"In 20 years, I'd like to have people walk into a virtual room
that would engage all your senses, hearing, touch, and smell,"
Venneri said.
"I would warp people from different parts of the world into
that room, like a Star Trek holodeck environment that could
transport you anywhere. And then, talking in natural language,
you could literally do things in months that would otherwise
take you years."
