It would be interesting to visit Rockwell with Jones Beene. I imagine the conversation would go something like this:
Researcher showing equipment: "Here is the main unit. The resolution is 0.1 parts per billion." Beene: "You mean million." Researcher: "No, billion. Now over here we have the cryogenic . . ." Beene: "That's not possible! You can't detect helium at ppb! You are mistaken. All these years you have been thinking it is billions, but it is actually millions . . ." >From there we might visit the Boeing assembly plant. Guide: "Here is our latest airplane, the Dreamliner 787. She can carry up to 335 passengers at 593 mph." Beene: "You mean 100 passengers at 200 mph." Guide: "No, she carries a lot more than that. The seating is 9-abreast and . . ." Beene: "Nine-abreast?! That's not possible. No airplane can carry more than 100 passengers or go faster than 200 mph. It just isn't possible! You have been deceiving the public! . . ." - Jed
