I know you meant "space flight" and not "space fight", but Freud might have been on to something about those little slips after all. The military applications for rocket propellants are fairly obvious, but even so, let me quote from the Project for a New American Century's (PNAC) manifesto that they revised for 2000 entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century". On thier list of must-haves, shortly after declaring the need to "(f)ight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars" (p. iv), they declare the need to "(c)ontrol the new 'international commons' of space and 'cyberspace', and pave the way for the creation of a new military service- U.S. Space Forces- with the mission of space control" (p. v). If these were everyday maniacs like the "Mars Society" dreamers or the crack addict on the corner, it would be laughable. Since most of them currently work in and run the Pentagon, however, it's a trifle more alarming.
I haven't heard of Negative Strangelets, theoretical or otherwise. What'cha got?
