The jet ultimately shot up fully vertically - at which point the wings snapped off and the whole works careened down into the ocean.
Here the goal was to use classical and quantum physics along with particle physics to describe aspects of the astrophysical universe, i.e. the whole shebang.
You have to remember that everything and the kitchen sink has been thrown at stimulating this economy and the jobs picture still remains weak.
Many of the building blocks for this infrastructure are already in place, but the whole enchilada is far from finished.
To get the whole kit and caboodle working required degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.
They're going to have department stores, and restaurants, and movie theatres, and bowling alleys, the whole nine yards, and Heaven knows what else.
Which means I'd give the whole shooting match just to be back where I was before I quit sleeping under the stars and come into the hen-coops.
