This has very little to do with the subject of this blog, but it is fantastic science that I was impressed by and wanted to share. The SBX (Sea-based X-band Radar) is an extremely high-powered radar station on a mobile platform so that it can be used wherever needed.
After thinking about what correlation it had to this page I did find a good one actually, in that it is based on a floating platform that was originally developed for oil-drilling, and that a similar free floating platform is part of the leading proposal for the space elevator.
